Kates Cottage is a versatile detached home that combines character features with practical family living in the desirable village of Woodcote. The house offers flexible accommodation across approximately 1,470 sq ft, including a large open-plan living area with a log burner, a separate family/ground-floor bedroom with its own log burner and shower room, and three first-floor bedrooms beneath a vaulted, light-filled landing. Outside, a private driveway, electric sliding gates and a detached double garage provide generous parking and storage.
The property benefits from village amenities on the doorstep and sits within the Langtree School catchment, making it well suited to families seeking a semi-rural lifestyle with good transport links to Reading, Wallingford and Oxford. The garden is private and suitable for outdoor entertaining; an outbuilding/adjacent barn offers potential for storage or further development subject to consents.
Buyers should note a few practical considerations: records about construction date vary and the external walls are recorded as cavity construction with no added insulation (assumed), which may affect energy performance. The board indicates an EPC mark of T (verify), and some services and finishes have been updated (double glazing post-2002, refitted bathrooms) while other elements may need attention in the future.
Overall this is a characterful village home with flexible living spaces, strong parking and garage provision, and scope for sympathetic updating to improve energy efficiency and personalise the accommodation.
