4 bed detached house for sale

The Street, Ewelme OX10

Internally, the accommodation comprises three reception rooms, kitchen, bathroom, and four double bedrooms, one of which is downstairs with adjacent wc and shower, making it effectively self-contained and therefore ideal for a teenager or elderly relative. Many period features have been retained throughout, echoing the home’s historic significance.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a truly special home with significant potential, historic importance, and a peaceful yet highly convenient village location.

Outside

Set within gardens and land totalling three acres, this unique property enjoys a secluded position along the village street, accessible only via its own private driveway across a shallow ford. Brownings is bordered at the front by the famous Ewelme cress beds, which are maintained by the Chiltern Society to an exemplary environmental standard. The property is completely fenced, offering peace, seclusion, and a wonderful sense of retreat, whilst being only a short walk up The Street to the excellent village community shop, the primary school, and only two minutes from the popular village pub.

A large workshop/store—originally a stable—offers further potential for conversion (subject to planning), ideal for use as a home office, studio, or even reinstatement as equestrian facilities. The two acre field, immediately adjacent to the house and gardens, is designated as agricultural land, making it well-suited for a range of uses such as paddocks, livestock grazing, horticulture, orchards, growing produce etc.

Situation

With the Chiltern Hills, River Thames at Benson, and several prestigious schools nearby—including The Oratory, Shiplake College, and schools in Oxford and Abingdon—the location is both idyllic and exceptionally practical.
Commuting is well catered for, with easy access to the M40, Cholsey station (for Paddington), and The Oxford Tube coach service to London. The nearby towns of Wallingford, Henley, Reading, and Oxford are all within 20–25 minutes' drive, offering a wealth of amenities, culture, and further transport links.
