Uffington, Oxfordshire, SN7

The main cottage is filled with period charm and offers well-proportioned accommodation across two floors. The ground floor centres around an impressive 31ft snug/dining room, providing a fantastic space for both everyday family life and entertaining. A separate 17ft living room offers a more intimate reception space, while the kitchen sits conveniently alongside the main living accommodation. A cloakroom completes the ground floor.

Upstairs are three generous double bedrooms, all benefiting from useful built-in storage. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive at over 16ft in length, while two bathrooms serve the first-floor accommodation.

A real feature of the property is the substantial annexe, extending to approximately 1,049 sq ft just downstairs and offering tremendous flexibility for multi-generational living, guests, working from home or potentially income generation, subject to any necessary consents. The annexe includes a kitchen/utility, shower room, a large office and an impressive 29ft living room/bedroom, which opens into a charming garden room overlooking the grounds. Above the living room is a further loft room/storage space.

Outside, the property continues to impress. Gated parking for approximately three vehicles is positioned behind wooden gates, while the gardens have been thoughtfully arranged into a number of attractive and productive areas, as well as an irrigation system. A delightful courtyard is softened by established kiwi vines, creating a shady spot to sit and enjoy your surroundings.

The grounds also include an above-ground swimming pool, greenhouse, custom built insulated shed, wood store with adjoining shed and raised vegetable beds. These sit alongside a delightful patio area, established planting and mature trees which provide a high degree of privacy and create a quintessential cottage-garden feel.

From the garden and bedrooms, you get to enjoy the wonderful views over the downs and the white horse.

The village of Uffington lies on the edge of the Vale of the White Horse, just north of the Berkshire Downs. Overlooking the village is the famous White Horse, a marvellous chalk figure which was cut into the hillside 3,000 years ago. The village has a fine church, known as the Cathedral of the Vale, and an excellent museum, shop and Post Office, pre-school, primary school, traditional public house, community hall and sports ground as well as a host of community clubs and organisations. Further information on village activities can be found on the village website
