2 bed cottage for sale

Watery Lane, Clifton Hampden OX14

A beautiful cottage offering a wealth of charm and character positioned towards the end of a quiet lane within the desirable village of 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.
