This extraordinary Victorian cottage was inspired by the accommodation Shrivenham’s Viscount Barrington had enjoyed in Switzerland for his honeymoon.
The tiny two-storey, three bedroomed thatched cottage was built around 1850 in the grounds of the peer’s country estate, Beckett Hall.
Original features include diamond glazing, timber walls and a galleried landing. It is Grade II listed, although the cottage is being sold with planning permission for a rear extension that will provide a new en-suite bedroom, open plan kitchen and living room and a sunken patio.
The cottage has a third of an acre and is next door to the Shrivenham military cottage.
It has a guide price of £500,000.
