Description

This Grade II listed detached cottage is situated on the outskirts of Didcot, nestled within a serene rural landscape surrounded by an arable farm, with expansive countryside views extending to the rear. The property boasts an impressive plot of over ¼ acre and includes a detached garage, making it a noteworthy opportunity for both renovation and investment. While the cottage retains its period charm with features such as a newly thatched roof, exposed beams, and traditional wall timbers, it does require modernisation. This presents a unique chance for buyers looking to create a home tailored to their taste while preserving its historical essence. The ground floor layout comprises a welcoming sitting room complete with a log-burning stove set within an inglenook fireplace, accompanied by an adjacent bread oven—perfect for those seeking character in their living space. A generously sized dining room offers double aspect windows that fill the area with natural light. Additionally, there is a versatile third bedroom that can serve as a study or guest room, along with a practical kitchen and bathroom. Upstairs features two well-proportioned double bedrooms accessed via their own staircase, adding to the distinctive layout and historical feel of the home. This arrangement not only enhances privacy but also provides potential for creative redesign. Located just 2 miles from Didcot Parkway train station and close to local amenities at the Orchard Centre, this property benefits from easy access to transport links while still enjoying the tranquility of rural living. The exterior includes a gravel driveway leading to the detached garage, while the rear garden offers ample space bordered by farmland—a peaceful retreat with areas of grass and mature trees. Enclosed by established hedging and featuring side access to the front of the property, this outdoor space has potential for landscaping or further development. Overall, this cottage presents an exciting opportunity for renovation enthusiasts or investors looking to capitalize on its prime location and distinctive features.
