Characterful 3-bed cottage with large gardens, summerhouse and scope for garage subject to planning.
3 bedrooms, two doubles and one single
A beautifully kept period cottage tucked on The Green in Nettlebed, offering characterful family living in the Chilterns. The ground floor centres on a cosy living room with an inglenook fireplace and wood-burning stove, an atmospheric dining room with stone-surround fireplace, a practical kitchen with adjacent utility, plus a study/family room and downstairs WC. Upstairs are three bedrooms (two doubles) and a single bedroom served by one family bathroom.
Outside spaces are a major strength: attractive front planting behind a brick-and-flint wall, a large rear garden with mature fruit trees, well-stocked beds, a timber summerhouse/studio and a timber-framed workshop. The long garden also includes a separate area where lapsed planning permission exists for a carport or garage, offering scope to add parking or storage (subject to consents).
Practical points: the house sits on a large plot in an affluent, low-crime village with excellent mobile signal and straightforward commuting to Henley, Reading and the M4/M40 corridors. Local amenities include a primary school rated Good, village shops, a surgery, and direct access to the Warburg Nature Reserve and Chiltern walking routes.
Notable constraints are simple and factual: there is a single family bathroom for three bedrooms, broadband speeds are average for the area, council tax is above average, and the property is semi‑detached (shared side). Any purchaser should allow for the period nature of the house when budgeting maintenance or updates. Overall this is an attractive village home with strong outdoor space and clear potential to personalise.
