Findon Cottage is a spacious period family home on Childrey High Street, arranged over three levels with four bedrooms and characterful oak beams throughout. The ground floor offers two reception rooms, a garden room, and a breakfast room that opens via French doors onto a mature, private garden — a comfortable layout for family life and entertaining. The kitchen includes a walk-in pantry and underfloor heating, adding modern comfort to the cottage’s traditional feel.
Practical benefits include a large single garage with additional storage and on-street parking directly outside the dropped kerb. The attic provides a generous fourth bedroom plus a flexible study or play area, useful as a teenager’s retreat or home office. The property is freehold with no flooding risk and is offered with no onward chain, easing the purchase timeline.
Notable considerations: there is only one shower room serving four bedrooms, so families may wish to add a second bathroom. Broadband speeds are slow in the area, which may affect home working or streaming without upgrades. Council tax is in a higher band and running costs include oil-fired central heating and an Energy Efficiency Rating around band E, so budget for energy and maintenance.
In summary, this cottage suits buyers seeking village living with character, generous internal space and a sizable garden. It will particularly appeal to families who value separate reception space, a useful attic bedroom and secure garage parking, and who are comfortable with some modernization to maximise long-term value.
