A charming two-bedroom detached cottage set well back from the road, Smith Cottage blends period character with practical living. The vaulted kitchen/breakfast room and a reception room with a working wood-burning stove provide warm, sociable ground-floor living, while two double bedrooms sit quietly on the first floor. Outside, a generous lawned garden, raised patio and a powered studio/home office extend the usable space and appeal to hobbyists or remote workers.
The plot and parking are strong practical assets: private off-street parking for several vehicles and a large garden create room for outdoor entertaining, gardening and flexible uses. The studio with mains power is ready for immediate use as a home office, creative space or storage. Local amenities, good-rated primary and secondary schools, and proximity to Henley-on-Thames add lifestyle and resale appeal.
Important practical points: the house is an older, solid-brick build (circa 1900–1929) with assumed no cavity insulation in the walls, so heating costs could be higher than modern homes. Broadband speeds are slow in this location, which may affect heavy home-working without an alternative solution. There is a single bathroom serving two bedrooms. Buyers should note that services, fixtures and fittings have not been tested.
This property suits someone looking to downsize into a character home with a generous garden, or a buyer who values a ready-made studio and off-street parking. It offers scope to improve energy efficiency and modernise services, while retaining the cottage’s period charm and a convenient position close to Henley’s amenities.
