Charlton Road, Wantage

Characterful Edwardian two-bedroom semi-detached home situated on a popular and established road within the older part of Wantage, combining attractive period features with a thoughtfully extended layout and a long south-facing rear garden. Approached via a path and steps rising to the front door, the accommodation begins with an entrance hall which leads to a charming sitting room at the front of the property. This welcoming space enjoys a bay window, exposed floorboards, original panel doors and an open fireplace, all of which contribute to the home’s traditional character. Beyond this, a semi-open plan dining/family room provides a flexible central living area with stairs rising to the first floor, tongue and groove doors concealing understairs storage, traditional stair rods and a wood-burning stove set within the fireplace. Built-in cupboards to one chimney recess add useful storage while maintaining the period feel.To the rear, the property opens into a striking extended kitchen/dining room designed to maximise natural light from the south elevation, with double doors opening directly onto the garden. The kitchen itself is fitted with painted solid wood base and eye-level units with worktops, a built-in double oven, electric hob and the gas-fired boiler neatly enclosed within a cupboard. A cast-iron fireplace, no longer in use, remains as a reminder of the original building. Upstairs there are two well-proportioned bedrooms and a spacious bathroom fitted in a classic style with a square Edwardian-style basin, matching WC, large shower enclosure and an impressive dual-end roll-top bath. Outside, the rear garden is a particularly appealing feature, being long, south-facing and recently enhanced with a newly installed patio leading onto a generous lawn, all enclosed by timber fencing with gravel edging and tidy borders.
