Charming late Victorian three-bedroom terraced cottage on the edge of Bishopstone, offering generous accommodation and plenty of period character. In need of modernisation, the property benefits from a large private garden and substantial brick-built outbuildings.

Situated on the edge of the sought-after village of Bishopstone, this charming late Victorian terraced cottage offers an exciting opportunity to create a delightful village home with considerable scope for modernisation and improvement. West End Cottages form a distinctive terrace of traditional red-brick properties, characteristic of the late 19th century and positioned at the limits of the historic village.

The property retains a wealth of period character, including traditional brick elevations, slate roof, feature fireplaces and attractive cottage-style windows.

The accommodation is arranged over two floors and currently comprises an entrance hall leading into a generous sitting room with an attractive period fireplace. A separate kitchen provides access to a useful pantry, while a rear lobby leads to the bathroom and separate WC.

Upstairs are three bedrooms, including a particularly generous principal bedroom, together with two further bedrooms. The accommodation would benefit from a programme of modernisation, offering purchasers the opportunity to update and personalise the property to their own taste while retaining its original character.

Outside, the property benefits from a large private rear garden, predominantly laid to lawn and enclosed by established hedging, with mature trees providing a pleasant rural backdrop. A paved seating area and timber garden building provide useful additional space. There is also a substantial range of brick-built outbuildings, including stores and a workshop, together with a sizeable hardstanding area.

Bishopstone is a picturesque historic village situated on the northern edge of the Vale of White Horse, with a strong rural character and a mixture of period properties. The village has Saxon origins and the surrounding countryside provides an attractive setting of open farmland and rolling downs.
