A CHARMING GRADE II LISTED COTTAGE BOASTING A WEALTH OF CHARACTER SURROUNDED BY LANDSCAPED GROUNDS OF APPROXIMATELY ONE ACRE.

Wavendon Cottage is a charming cottage ( part rethatched in 2016 and new ridges) surrounded by its own grounds and set in a private location at the end of a country lane. Internally the cottage retains a wealth of character with exposed timbers and a double inglenook fireplace linking the sitting room and study. The accommodation is laid out over two floors and is well suited for family living, whilst one end of the property with its own entrance lends itself to the provision of annexed accommodation.
