This charming detached stone cottage sits close to Olney town centre and offers characterful two‑bedroom living on a manageable plot. The property benefits from an established partly walled garden, gated off‑street parking and gas radiator central heating — practical features for downsizers or buyers seeking a low‑maintenance, lock‑up‑and‑leave home.
The cottage has been extended in brick over various periods, creating a compact but versatile layout across two storeys. Interior features include a character stone façade, a contemporary brick fireplace in the living room and wood‑effect flooring; the overall footprint is cottage‑scale and well suited to a couple or single occupant wanting town amenities close by.
Buyers should note this is an older property (pre‑1900) with traditional sandstone/limestone walls and assumed lack of wall insulation. There is also a Council Tax Band E and a compact courtyard/garden rather than a large rear garden. The house has been improved but may still benefit from targeted updating or insulation works to increase energy efficiency.
Overall, the cottage offers period charm, central convenience and practical parking, balanced by the realities of owning an older stone property. It will suit a buyer looking for character within a very affluent, small‑town setting and who is comfortable with some maintenance or modernisation to improve comfort and running costs.
