Property description
Drayton Cottage, nestling in a quiet country lane, is a delightful restored and extended Edwardian house having the benefit of countryside on the doorstep but is only 1.5 miles and 2 miles away from the amenities in Emmer Green and Sonning Common respectively. The property is also within the catchment area for several good primary and secondary schools including the outstanding Kidmore End Primary School. This four bedroomed home has undergone considerable improvement by the present owners yet retains much of its original character appeal. The living space includes five reception rooms with a particular feature being the magnificent dining/sitting room with feature vaulted ceiling and furthermore super countryside views can be enjoyed from most rooms. Outside, the frontage affords parking for several vehicles whilst the rear garden is beautifully tended and enjoys a high degree of privacy. Presented in excellent decorative order throughout, an early viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate this super home. No Chain.
