Willington Down Farm, Abingdon Road, Didcot

This charming Grade II listed detached cottage sits on the edge of Didcot in a peaceful rural setting amidst an arable farm with open countryside stretching out behind. It features a superb plot extending to over ¼ of an acre and a detached garage.

In need of modernisation it has a traditional newly thatched roof and exudes period character with exposed beams and wall timbers throughout.  

Inside the ground floor offers a sitting room with log burning stove set in an inglenook fireplace with adjacent bread oven, double aspect dining room, versatile bedroom 3/study, kitchen and bathroom.  Upstairs there are two double bedrooms reached via their own staircase, adding to the cottage’s unique layout and sense of history.
