A Grade II listed cottage, dating from the early 19th century with blue and red brickwork beneath a tiled double roof. The windows on the front elevation include hung sashes. The house has been sympathetically renovated, maintaining the original charm and character, including exposed beams and open fire places with the modernisation/improvement works including under floor heating on the ground floor (the two reception rooms), a refitted kitchen and refitted bathroom. The house is ideal for owner occupation or as an investment – there is a good demand from tenants for small houses in this area – the close proximity of Oxford and Didcot being an important factor.
Location
Abingdon on Thames offers a good selection of shopping facilities and lovely riverside walks along the Thames Path with access to the ancient monastery ruins within the Abbey grounds.

Abingdon is just a short distance from the highly regarded Culham Science Centre, Harwell Science Campus and Milton Business Park.

Passing the property on the left hand side (i.e coming from the town centre) the next turning on the left includes a small car park with 1 hour parking costing XXX.
