Cottage for sale in Tottenhill Row, Tottenhill PE33

*no onward chain* A beautiful, detached cottage set on delightful, mature grounds of around 1/3rd of an acre that also appreciates open, country views from the Common land that exists to the front. The original part of this attractive building dates back to the late 18th/early 19th century and over the years has been adapted and extended to produce a successful level of living accommodation whilst retaining notes of its character and originality. The current owners have enhanced the property even further replacing windows and refurbishing some areas whilst transforming the grounds and gardens in to the most enviable of outside spaces. Inside, there is a row of 3 reception rooms that run across the front, one of which benefits from a wood burning stove. A central hallway provides access to both the first floor and to an additional and refurbished, modern shower room. Extending to the rear, the open-plan kitchen/breakfast room measures an impressive 25ft in size and enjoys lots of natural light from both its double aspect and from the double doors that enjoy an enclosed, private courtyard. Upstairs, each of the 3 bedrooms are of a double proportion with the main bedroom enjoying its own dressing room. A tastefully finished bathroom serves each of these rooms. Outside, the gardens are equally as impressive with well established, private lawns and seating areas being available along with the practicality of a substantial, 23ft outbuilding currently providing double garaging. Geographically, the property remains only a short distance from the facilities and main line railway station that are on hand within the adjoining and particularly well served Village of Watlington.
