Davis Tate says ..
A distinctive period property set within the pretty heart of the village. The cottage is Grade II listed, dating from the first decade of the 20th century in the Arts and Crafts style and benefits from an attractive southeasterly facing rear garden, with an outbuilding and summer house. EPC Rating F
Property Oracle says ..
This charming two-bedroom property in Checkendon, Oxfordshire offers a blend of period features and modern conveniences. Situated in a sought-after village setting, it benefits from its proximity to Checkendon Church of England Primary School (rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted). The property’s exterior shows its historic character, including traditional timber framing. Inside, the photos reveal a modest yet functional layout. The kitchen appears to have been recently updated, while the bathroom is in generally good condition. While not luxurious, the overall state suggests comfortable living. The garden, while not exceptionally large, still provides welcome outdoor space. The lack of precise plot size data is a notable omission. The list price appears reasonable, though a comparison using price-per-square-foot data of nearby properties would offer a clearer picture. Buyers should be aware that the property lacks modern features that could increase its value and appeal, but its location and inherent charm provide significant advantages. Transport links to Reading and other larger hubs are available but require a short car journey.
Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
