Description
A period, character, detached 4 bedroom across three floors with a garden annexe
Smith’s Cottage is an attractive, period property, but importantly not listed and offering over 2,200 sq ft of living space and perfectly blends modern fittings alongside original period features. The ground floor has three receptions rooms with the flexibility to be employed in different ways depending on requirements. The largest being the living room with a brick feature fireplace, timbers beams and three sets of windows. At the front of the house is a family room with French doors and finally another room currently employed as an additional study with a guest downstairs toilet and utility cupboard for a washer and drier. The kitchen is a highlight for the property as it’s been further enhanced with a rear extension to create a large space measuring over 360 sq ft, with units running along both walls, doors out to the garden and plenty of space for a variety of set ups with seating and a dining table. The first floor contains three double bedrooms and three, stylishly refurbished, modern bathrooms. The principal bedroom is notable for its size at nearly 250 sq ft with vaulted ceilings, pretty dormer windows, dark wooden flooring, a dressing room and even a statement roll-top bath. The final of the four bedrooms is on the 2nd floor, with an opening through to a large eaves room in the roof space which in turn provides access to a loft store. Outside
The rear garden also extends down one side of the property and is laid to lawn with a paved terrace and an attractive brick laid path extending to the bottom of the garden. At the bottom of the garden is a pedestrian gate granting direct access onto six acres of green open space within which sits the village cricket ground and a well equipped children’s playground at the far end. The garden is quintessentially English with specimen trees, mature bushes, climbing plants and well stocked beds. In the garden, to one side of the property sits a smart, wooden clad and tiled roof garden annexe with power that provides the perfect space for a very comfortable, home office. The annexe also contains a secure store room as well as a covered log-store. The front of the property has a shingle driveway allowing parking for a number of vehicles and a high wall with a gate leading to the main entrance.
Situation
The property is set in the small (pop 500) village of North Moreton, between Wallingford and Didcot, surrounded by stunning rolling countryside. The village has a parish church, a village hall and a popular historic pub (The Bear of North Moreton), classed as a “community asset,” plus a thriving cricket club, while neighbouring South Moreton has a local pub as well as an excellent primary school. Further local amenities can be found in Wallingford, including a choice of shops, supermarkets, restaurants and cafés. The area also offers several other outstanding state schools, including Cholsey Primary School, as well as for secondary, Didcot Girls’ School and Wallingford School. The area is well connected by road, with the nearby A34 allowing access towards Oxford and Newbury, while Reading and the M4 are also within easy reach. Didcot’s mainline station is only 3miles (10 minutes’ drive) away and provides numerous services to London Paddington, taking approximately 45 minutes.
