Description

This charming detached home, Mill Cottage, has a rich history dating back to 1683, when it was part of a large neighboring property owned by John Betjeman. The property has been beautifully restored and extended over the years, with the most recent enhancement being done by Oliver Ford, decorator to the Queen Mother, in the 1960s. The current property boasts almost 2000 sq. ft of well-presented accommodation spread over two floors, featuring a dual-aspect drawing room with an open fireplace, high ceilings, and French doors leading out to the stunning garden. The garden itself is a tranquil oasis, with rolling lawns, mature trees, and a picturesque brook running along the boundary. The property also features a period barn with huge potential, a studio, workshop, and store, as well as a covered passageway that could be used as a carport. Located in the historic market town of Wantage, the property is within easy reach of larger towns and cities, as well as the stunning countryside of the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
