This well-presented two-bedroom cottage in Akeley offers comfortable, characterful living across two reception rooms and a neatly landscaped rear garden. The living room centres on a wood-burning stove, creating a cosy focal point, while the open-plan kitchen and dining area opens directly onto the entertaining seating area — ideal for informal indoor‑outdoor living.
Set in a desirable village location close to Buckingham, Towcester and Milton Keynes, the home sits on a decent plot with low external maintenance and good local amenities, including primary and secondary schooling options. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, making the house practical for modern working patterns.
Buyers should note the property’s practical limitations: the 713 sq ft footprint is compact for a two-bedroom cottage, the EPC rating is E, and heating runs from an oil-fired boiler which can be more expensive than mains gas. Wall construction is listed as cavity with no confirmed insulation, so there is scope for improving thermal performance and reducing running costs.
Overall this cottage is well suited to a first-time buyer or someone downsizing who wants a tidy, ready-to-live-in home with scope to invest in energy improvements. The freehold tenure and very low local crime levels add further appeal for those seeking village living with good commuter links.
