Detailed Description

1 & 2 Mill Cottages is a four-bedroom dwelling formed from two cottages dating from the early 19th century when the nearby water mill harnessed power from the Letcombe Brook to mill grain for the surrounding farms.

Built from attractive local stone with brick highlights under a clay tiled roof, the cottage is offered in excellent decorative order and benefits from a modern timber-clad kitchen extension to the western end while offering exciting potential for further modification subject to planning permission. Period features include board lined walls and eaves to the first floor and open fireplaces throughout

Location

The property is located down a quiet no-through-road on the western edge of the village of East Hanney with nearby footpaths providing access to open countryside as well as local facilities including a post-office, village shop, two public houses and a primary school which is rated 'Good' by Ofsted.

The village is a short distance to the north of the market town of Wantage, and historic Abingdon-on-Thames and Oxford are both easily accessible. There are regular bus services to Oxford and local towns including Didcot (8 miles) from where frequent trains to London Paddington take less than 45 minutes. The
A34 trunk road (linking the M40 and M4 motorways) is within five miles.

Accommodation

The accommodation is as shown on the floor plan and includes a spacious kitchen/dining room, two reception rooms, a bedroom with en-suite to the ground floor, three further bedrooms and a bathroom and separate w/c on the first floor, which is accessible via two staircases. A ground floor office and substantial storage space offer scope for working from home.

Extending in total to 1.35 acres, the secluded grounds are planted with cricket bat willows and bordered by the Letcombe Brook to the east and a shallow fish pass to the west. The south facing cottage garden is laid mainly to lawn with occasional borders and established fruit trees. There is also a small barn adjacent to the house and an old garden outbuilding, both with potential for storage or recreational use.
