Set on a landscaped estate around an ornamental lake, this two-bedroom cottage offers peaceful lakeside living a short walk from Hungerford town centre. The layout suits a downsizer: two large double bedrooms, a separate dining room, and a spacious sitting room leading to a bright conservatory with direct views over the water. A large landing currently used as a study and a boarded loft provide useful extra storage.
Practical comforts include a fitted kitchen/breakfast room, cloakroom off the entrance hall, and a nearby garage with lighting and electricity. The development provides communal upkeep, mature courtyard gardens, a resident estate manager and a personal alarm system—advantages for a confident, low-maintenance retirement.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold property with a very long lease in place, and the service charge is above average (£5,844). Council tax is described as quite expensive. The interior is well presented overall but some rooms (notably the living room) show dated decor and would benefit from modernization to suit contemporary tastes.
For someone seeking a secure, sociable lakeside setting with good transport links to London and local towns, this cottage combines convenient facilities with potential to update and personalise. Verify lease details and running costs during your legal enquiries.
