Description

Street Cottage is one of those homes that rarely comes to the market. A beautiful Grade II listed thatched cottage, it has been lovingly cared for by the same family for more than 30 years, and it's easy to understand why.

Set within just under 0.6 acres, the gardens are every bit as special as the house itself. Immediately behind the cottage is a beautifully established cottage garden, while beyond that the space opens into a vast south-facing lawn backing onto open countryside. It has been the setting for everything from family football matches to summer gatherings over the years, and still offers endless possibilities for the next owners to make their own memories.

Inside, there's a wonderful balance between character and practicality. The dual-aspect sitting room centres around an impressive inglenook fireplace, while a generous dining and family room provides plenty of space for everyday life and entertaining. In total there are four reception rooms, including a versatile room alongside a downstairs shower room that could equally work as a home office, hobby room or fifth bedroom.

The kitchen offers plenty of storage and connects directly to the impressive 23ft conservatory. Subject to the usual consents, it's easy to see how this space could be reimagined to create a spectacular open-plan kitchen and garden room.

Upstairs are four comfortable bedrooms, all enjoying views across the gardens or the quintessential village street. There's an en-suite bathroom to the guest bedroom, a family shower room and plenty of built-in cupboards and hidden eaves storage throughout.

Brightwell-cum-Sotwell has long been one of South Oxfordshire's most sought-after villages, with its thriving community, excellent pubs, beautiful countryside walks and easy access to Wallingford, Didcot, Oxford and Reading.

Homes like Street Cottage don't become available very often. Character, space, wonderful gardens and a setting that's been cherished by the same family for three decades make this a very special opportunity.

Secure Sale & Buyer Information Pack Disclosure

This property is being marketed with a Secure Sale Pack, designed to help speed up the transaction and provide greater certainty for both buyers and sellers.
As part of this process, key legal searches are ordered at the point the property is listed, rather than after a sale is agreed. This work, which can typically take several weeks in a standard transaction, is prepared upfront and made available to the successful buyer as part of their legal due diligence.

To proceed with an offer, the successful buyer will be required to purchase the Buyer Information Pack at a cost of £325 + VAT. This pack includes the searches and supporting legal information that a buyer would usually need to obtain separately after agreeing a purchase.
In addition, and in line with UK Anti-Money Laundering regulations, all purchasers and any giftors contributing funds must complete AML (Anti-Money Laundering) checks. These checks are payable separately and are required before the transaction can progress.

This upfront approach helps:
Reduce delays once an offer is agreed
Improve transparency for all parties
Support a smoother and more reliable sales process

Disclaimer Statement:
These property particulars are issued in good faith but do not form part of any offer or contract. All descriptions, floorplans, photographs and other information are provided as a guide only and may not be exact. Buyers are advised to verify key facts such as tenure, planning permissions, fixtures and fittings, lease length, ground rent, service charges, council tax band and energy performance rating through their legal representative.

In line with UK Anti-Money Laundering regulations, all named purchasers and any giftors contributing funds must complete AML (Anti-Money Laundering) checks.
The cost of AML checks is £20 + VAT per person (£24 including VAT) and is payable separately. All required AML checks must be completed before the transaction can progress.

We have taken all reasonable steps to ensure the accuracy of this information. Material information is provided in line with current National Trading Standards guidance and relevant consumer protection legislation. Please contact us if you require clarification on any point before making a transactional decision.
