Description
Occupying a prominent position in the heart of sought-after Weston Green, Abingdon Cottage is an elegant, detached period home of considerable character, offering approximately 1,832 sq ft of accommodation and presenting a rare opportunity to acquire a home rich in original features with significant scope for modernisation and enhancement.

Behind its attractive and symmetrical façade, the property retains many of the architectural details that define homes of this era, including high ceilings, sash windows, ornate fireplaces, decorative cornicing and beautifully proportioned rooms throughout. While lovingly maintained, the house offers exciting potential for a purchaser to update and remodel to create a stunning family home tailored to modern lifestyles.

A welcoming entrance hall with original staircase sets the tone on arrival and leads through to two impressive reception rooms. The principal reception room is a particularly impressive and elegant space, extending to over 24 feet in length and offering excellent versatility. The room naturally divides into two distinct zones, allowing it to be configured to suit a variety of lifestyles. A large picture window and French doors overlooking the rear garden flood the room with natural light, while the generous proportions ensure the space feels both open and adaptable. A second reception room, currently arranged as a sitting room, features another character fireplace. To the rear of the house, you enter the dining room which is characterised by fitted shelving and storage on either side of the feature fireplace. The dining room leads through to the kitchen which extends along one side of the property and offers ample cabinetry and workspace together with space at the far end for casual dining. Beyond, a delightful conservatory enjoys views over the garden and provides a wonderful year-round reception space flooded with natural light. A useful ground floor shower room with WC completes the ground floor accommodation.

The first floor comprises four well-proportioned bedrooms, all benefitting from excellent ceiling heights and large sash windows. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, overlooking the front aspect and enjoying a bright and spacious feel. Several of the bedrooms feature extensive fitted storage, reflecting the practical design of the period. A family bathroom serves the first-floor accommodation.

Outside, the mature rear garden (approximately 30 metres long) provides a private and peaceful backdrop to the house. Established planting, specimen shrubs and mature trees create a wonderful sense of seclusion, whilst a large stone terrace immediately adjoining the property offers the ideal setting for outdoor dining and entertaining. The garden's size and configuration further enhance the property's future potential.

To the front of the property there is plenty of on-street parking with no parking restrictions.
