Watery Lane, Clifton Hampden

Offered to the market with no onward chain and set on an impressive c. 0.25 acre plot abutting open farmland.

The property presents an opportunity for a new owner to update and personalise the accommodation while retaining its wealth of period features. Exposed timbers, attractive brickwork and a substantial fireplace create a wonderfully warm and inviting atmosphere, while the established gardens provide an appealing setting and excellent potential for keen gardeners.

The ground floor centres around a generous sitting room, an atmospheric space distinguished by exposed ceiling beams and an impressive brick fireplace with stove, providing a natural focal point. Alongside is the kitchen, which offers a range of fitted storage and workspace together with scope for modernisation. Beyond lies the separate dining area, a bright and versatile space with windows overlooking the garden. Upstairs, the cottage provides two well-proportioned bedrooms, both retaining the distinctive character and charm associated with an older cottage, including areas of reduced headroom. A bathroom and useful built-in storage complete the first-floor accommodation.

Outside, the property is approached through an attractive cottage-style front garden, where mature planting complements the mellow brick elevations, tiled roof and traditional dormer windows. The rear garden is a particular feature benefitting from the purchase of additional land  behind which enjoys countryside views, several wooden outbuildings and noteworthy outdoor living potential.
