5 Chestnut Cottages
5 Chestnut Cottages enjoys a prominent corner position at the entrance to a quiet cul-de-sac just off Wallingford Road, overlooking attractive railed paddocks that extend down towards the High Street.
The cottage is approached through a mature, landscaped frontage, shared with the neighbouring homes, and benefits from an open-plan lawned garden that wraps around the side, enhancing its corner setting. Behind, a private, enclosed patio garden has been thoughtfully re-landscaped with a paved terrace and a rear gate providing direct access to a footpath leading to the garage block.
Inside, the entrance hall features a cloakroom, staircase with understairs storage, and polished wooden flooring that continues through to the main reception space. Double doors open into a spacious sitting/dining room, where a limestone fireplace with an Aga wood-burning stove forms an inviting focal point. This bright dual-aspect room enjoys a large bay window overlooking the front garden, while French doors at the dining end open directly onto the rear garden. The kitchen, designed in a practical galley style, also has a door to the garden.
Upstairs, there are two generous double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, a single bedroom, and a family bathroom. The landing includes an airing cupboard and loft access, with potential to convert the loft, as several neighbouring properties have already done.
Chestnut Cottages are attractively set back from the road, elevated behind a brick-and-flint wall lined with mature trees and shrubs that provide year-round screening, colour, and interest. Each home is approached by its own path across the shared lawned frontage.
At the rear, the property benefits from a garage within a block of six, built in brick with up-and-over doors. No. 5’s garage is the third from the left and can be reached either via the private road from Streatley High Street or through the cul-de-sac off Wallingford Road.
