This 17th-century detached cottage sits in a sought-after village location, ideal for families wanting character and good school catchments. The house offers many original features — exposed timber beams and a striking Inglenook fireplace — combined with bright, dual-aspect rooms that feel welcoming and practical for everyday living.
Accommodation extends to around 980 sq ft with a useful utility and ground-floor W/C, plus an open-plan kitchen/dining room that’s well-suited to informal family life. The first floor provides a 13ft main bedroom, a second double and a single third bedroom alongside a modern family bathroom with a claw-foot bath.
Outside, a mature, private rear garden and timber shed give a secluded outdoor space for children and pets, while a gravel forecourt provides off-street parking. The property is offered chain free and sits within easy reach of Didcot’s amenities and fast rail links, while enjoying the tranquillity of the surrounding countryside.
A buyer should note the cottage’s age-related maintenance and updating needs: the walls are solid (likely uninsulated), double glazing install date is unknown, and some modernisation internally is likely required. Council tax sits above average. These factors are reflected in the home’s period charm and future renovation potential.
