Description
Tenure : Freehold -
Description: - This lovely grade II listed period cottage was built in the mid 18th century and has attractive brick and flint elevations set under a clay tile roof. A well-stocked south-facing cottage garden lies to the rear and is a particular feature of the property. In addition there is an insulated brick-built annex with pitched, clay-tile roof at the bottom of the garden that provides a studio/office (or bedroom) together with a shower/cloakroom.
The interior of the cottage has considerable character and displays many of the original 18th century features including an inglenook fireplace with bread oven, beamed ceilings and timber framework. The south-facing rear aspect and multiple window openings ensure that the cottage has good natural lighting on both floors and all the principal rooms enjoy an outlook onto the garden.
On the ground floor a well-proportioned sitting room with inglenook fireplace leads into an open plan kitchen with dining area. A part-glazed door between the two rooms takes you into the garden. Upstairs there is a generously proportioned double bedroom with dual aspect and adjacent bathroom. A further single bedroom lies alongside. There may be an opportunity to convert the large loft space, subject to obtaining the necessary planning and building consents.
The property occupies a quiet lane and is set amongst a number of other cottages of similar style and age. Watlington High Street with its range of independent shops, restaurants and facilities is less than a two minute walk from the cottage.
