5 Norton Cottages, Upperton
Brightwell Baldwin
Watlington
Oxfordshire
OX49 5NX
The house is situated in an elevated position that ensures excellent daylighting and some fine extended views over neighbouring farmland. There are generous and well-stocked landscaped gardens to both front and rear together with an oak clad outbuilding providing a combined garage, workshop and store. Off-road parking for two vehicles lies alongside. A roof conversion together with extensions to both the flank and rear have resulted in generous family accommodation amounting to almost 2000 square feet. There are 5 bedrooms in total with 3 bathrooms including a master bedroom suite that includes an en suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe or dressing room. On the ground floor there are two large open plan rooms providing large reception areas, one with a solid fuel stove, together with a utility room and cloakroom. Much thought was been given to the remodelling of the house and this has resulted in an excellent arrangement of rooms on all three floors. A contemporary interior is well-equipped and employs some attractive finishes including oak flooring to the ground floor.
The village of Upperton is a quiet rural hamlet only 2 miles to the west of Watlington and together with the neighbouring village of Brightwell Baldwin includes a lovely 15th century church and the well known Lord Nelson Inn. Watlington is within 2 miles and provides ample shops and services including a public library, excellent primary and comprehensive schools, surgery and sports amenities. More comprehensive facilities and shops can be found in nearby Wallingford or Henley on Thames. Junction 6 of the M40 is 5 miles distant and provides easy access to the Midlands, London and the regional business centres of Oxford and High Wycombe.
