A Grade II listed Georgian cottage on Olney High Street, this mid-terrace home blends historic character with everyday practicality. Period features include an impressive inglenook fireplace, exposed timbers, sash windows and a quarry-tiled entrance hall that convey warmth and provenance. The property offers four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a useful stone-built storage barn, arranged over an average-sized footprint of about 1,792 sq ft.
Practical conveniences include off-street parking in a private courtyard, a sheltered rear garden with lawn and pergola, and gas central heating via boiler and radiators. The layout suits a family seeking central town living with easy access to highly rated local schools and a wide range of shops and services close by. Broadband is fast and the area is very affluent with low crime.
Important considerations: the house is Grade II listed which will affect permitted works and can complicate alterations or extensions. The building’s solid brick construction likely has no wall insulation, so improvements may be needed to improve thermal performance. The plot is small and garden space is modestly set apart to the rear. Council tax is above average and some fixtures/appliances are not guaranteed to be in working order.
This home will suit buyers attracted to period charm and a prominent High Street position who accept the responsibilities of owning a listed property. There is clear potential to refurbish sensitively to increase comfort and efficiency while retaining the cottage’s original features.
