3 bedroom Cottage To Let

Location
Set back from the main road, Ivy Cottage occupies a peaceful position between Wantage and Grove.
Wantage is a thriving market town offering a wide range of shops and supermarkets, whilst Grove, the largest village in the Vale of White Horse, provides a variety of everyday amenities and local facilities.
There are good transport links for Williams F1, Milton Park, Harwell, Didcot and the city of Oxford. Trains from Didcot Parkway to London Paddington take as little as 42 minutes, Reading in 13 minutes and Oxford city centre in 12 minutes. For drivers, the A34 Milton Interchange is a 20 minute journey and connects to the south with the M4 for access to London, Reading and the West Country.

Property

Hallway
Step through the front door into the welcoming tiled hallway, which includes a useful alcove with shelf for storing coats, boots and wet-weather gear.

Living room.
A traditional wooden door opens onto the main living space. With bags of character, this generously-sized L-shaped room features beams and exposed brickwork. Divided by a central wooden post, the larger area will easily fit a couple of sofas, TV, and any other furniture required for sociable evenings with family and friends, whilst the smaller area is flexible enough to accommodate a dining table or function as a home office.

Kitchen
A practical room with a terracotta tiled floor and a large pantry-style cupboard, useful for storing all those household items out of sight. The electric cooker sits in the old fireplace recess with a handy adjacent worksurface, while the kitchen is laid out in a horseshoe shape with a large ceramic butler’s sink, washing machine, undercounter fridge and plenty of worktop space. There’s also a sizeable breakfast bar with seating for at least five, arranged around the supporting brick column.
