Description

VIEWINGS FROM SATURDAY 16th MAY! A beautifully restored and comprehensively updated cottage, effortlessly blending period charm with modern comfort - complete with underfloor heating, exquisite restored finishes and a superb outbuilding offering excellent potential for ancillary accommodation. EPC E.

Set at the end of a quiet lane close to the village centre, with bridleways and views surrounding, this quintessential Grade II listed cottage has been lovingly and thoughtfully updated, creating a home that retains all the warmth and character of its heritage, while offering the comfort and practicality expected of modern living.

From the outset, the property makes a striking impression - classic brick elevations beneath a beautifully kept thatched roof, set behind a charming cottage garden. Inside, the attention to detail is immediately apparent. Original features have been carefully preserved and enhanced, with exposed timbers, latch doors and beautifully restored flooring running throughout, complemented by the addition of underfloor heating, bringing a seamless balance of old and new.

At the heart of the home is a wonderfully atmospheric sitting room, centred around an impressive inglenook fireplace with a feature stove and french doors to the garden - an inviting space that perfectly captures the essence of cottage living. The adjoining dining room continues the theme, offering a warm and versatile setting for both everyday use and entertaining.

The kitchen has been sympathetically styled to sit comfortably within the home’s period aesthetic, while offering practical functionality and direct access to the garden - ideal for indoor-outdoor living during the warmer months.

Upstairs, two well-proportioned bedrooms sit beneath the eaves, each filled with natural light and enjoying a peaceful outlook. The bathroom is well-appointed, completing the accommodation in a manner that feels both characterful and considered.

Externally, the property truly comes into its own. The gardens have been thoughtfully landscaped, with a combination of decked terraces and established planting creating a private and tranquil setting.

A standout feature is the substantial detached outbuilding, complete with power and plumbing. This highly versatile space offers excellent potential for a range of uses, including a home office, studio or conversion into ancillary accommodation (subject to the usual consents).

Tucked away at the end of Church Lane, the setting is every bit as appealing as the cottage itself. The property sits within a truly unspoilt village environment, surrounded by rolling countryside and with a palpable sense of peace and seclusion - ideal for those seeking a slower pace of life or a countryside retreat.

Despite its idyllic feel, connectivity is excellent. The M40 is just a short drive away, providing straightforward access to London, Oxford and beyond, while the Oxford Tube coach service from Lewknor - just over a mile away - offers a convenient and regular link into the capital. It is this rare combination of rural charm and accessibility that makes the location so compelling.

Altogether, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a turnkey period home - rich in charm, intelligently updated and perfectly suited to modern lifestyles.

Henley-on-Thames

"James and his team redefine estate agency. We have bought and sold with P&S Henley and been blown away by their professionalism, honesty, dedication and constant communication. James handles a challenge with patience and ease. I wouldn't use anyone else. Thank you all for everything"

With its riverside location Henley-On-Thames is a beautiful, prestigious and thriving market town surrounded by outstanding countryside and picture postcard villages.

Both the excellent state and private schools nearby mean it is a popular choice for families wishing to live in a small thriving town and yet still within easy commutable distance from London.

Henley provides a good range of high street shops and supermarkets but is renowned for the friendly and personal touch that is offered from the many smaller and independent retailers.

Dating back to the 13th Century, it's a delight to explore the town with its fine architecture, with Georgian and Victorian frontages and to discover the many cafes, restaurants and pubs serving local beers. Famed for hosting the internationally acclaimed Royal Regatta along with the Festival of Music & Arts and the Literary Festival it means that Henley has something to offer for everyone creating an exciting hustle and bustle within the town in contrast to the tranquility of those more gentle activities on this beautiful stretch of the river Thames.

Our Henley lettings team offer Short Let properties, ideal for visitors during the Regatta and throughout the year. Short Lets provides those visiting the town an alternative to staying in a hotel and allows guests the opportunity to 'live' in the area and experience all that Henley and the surrounding areas have to offer. Short Lets provides home owners the flexibility to short let their property whilst away, the option to long let and short let in the different seasons, the security that their property is managed in their absence and the additional revenue to supplement their income whilst their property would otherwise be vacant.

Please contact our sales or lettings team for more information.
