A recently renovated two-bedroom semi-detached cottage set on a quiet Woodcote street, offering characterful living with modern conveniences. The accommodation includes a sitting room with cast-iron fireplace, a separate dining room, a fitted shaker-style kitchen, two bathrooms and an adaptable detached home office in the garden. The property extends to 764 sq ft and benefits from UPVC sash-style windows, new finishes and a gravel driveway with off-street parking for two cars.
The garden is a standout: a raised terrace, almost 100ft of mainly lawn with deep planted borders and fully fenced boundaries provide privacy and space for outdoor living. The included electricity supply to the detached office adds useful flexible workspace for remote working or hobbies. Commuters are well served — mainline stations at Goring and Pangbourne are within a few miles with fast trains to London, and the M4/M40 are easily reached.
There is further potential: loft conversion could create extra space, subject to relevant planning permission. Buyers should note the house was built early 20th century with solid brick walls (no known cavity insulation assumed) and has an energy rating of D/64. The compact plot and cottage room sizes mean the property will suit buyers seeking a manageable, characterful home rather than a large family house.
Overall this is a tidy, move-in-ready cottage with village charm, a large private garden and real potential to add value through a permitted loft conversion or targeted fabric upgrades to improve energy efficiency.
