High Street, Wargrave, Berkshire, RG10

The Dower Cottage is a delightful, characterful house, tucked away but within close proximity to the centre of Wargrave. The house has been well-maintained and tastefully upgraded by the current owners, who have lived in the property for 38 years. At the front of the property is a spacious drive with parking for several cars plus access to a car port. There is also additional parking to the side of the property. On entering Dower Cottage, you are greeted by a spacious entrance hall, leading through to a bright, high ceilinged, sitting room with a beautiful bay window. Beyond this is a very spacious dining room, again with 10-foot-high ceilings, and arched double-doors out to a walled court yard. The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with handmade maple units and granite work surfaces. The ground floor also benefits from a study and a large utility room. A family bathroom and WC is reached by a short flight of stairs. On the first floor is the master bedroom with an ensuite and a charming balcony overlooking the garden. Two further bedrooms offer wonderful views over either the garden or the River Thames and beyond.
