Situated on the edge of this historic and picturesque village conservation area.

Hambleden village itself is protected by a National Trust covenant. Lying at the southern end of the Hambleden valley, there is access to fantastic walking with the River Thames, Thames Path and Hambleden Mill marina approximately 1 mile away. The nearby market towns of Marlow and Henley-on-Thames provide excellent shopping, recreational and educational facilities for everyday requirements, both having train services via Maidenhead and Twyford respectively to London Paddington.

Description

A charming three-bedroom cottage, positioned in an idyllic elevated location with beautiful views over the Hambleden Valley, in need of renovation and modernisation.

Situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and perched on the edge of the Hambleden Valley, within the Pheasants Hill conservation area. The property enjoys access to stunning walks and the amenities of the picturesque village of Hambleden. The cottage features a pretty brick-and-flint exterior, complemented by a delightful front garden.

Entry is via the kitchen door at the rear, where you'll find a range of base and wall units with an integrated oven and hob. The main feature of the room is a log burning stove. There is space for a breakfast table and chairs. Off the kitchen, there is a storage cupboard and a cloakroom. The kitchen leads into the inner hall, where access under the stairs leads to a basement located beneath the kitchen. At the front of the house is the sitting room, which features an open fireplace and enjoys views over the Hambleden Valley via a bay window and two further sets of windows.

Stairs rise from the hallway to the first floor, where there are three double bedrooms, all with built in storage and countryside views. A family bathroom completes the first floor.

Outside, the majority of the garden lies to the front and side of the property, offering views over the Hambleden Valley. A driveway to one side provides parking for multiple vehicles and leads to a garage (in need of structural repair) and a lawned area adjacent to open fields. The front garden is mainly laid to lawn and enclosed by mature hedging, offering privacy to the front and side. To the rear of the house, there is a small patio area.

Directions

From Henley-on-Thames or Marlow proceed out of the towns on the A4155 heading towards Mill End. In the hamlet of Mill End turn north signposted to Hambleden and Skirmett, and after approximately 1 mile fork right into Hambleden village.

Continue through the village past the post office and turn left onto Pheasant's Hill before The Stag & Huntsman. Continue up the hill past the church and the property can be found approximately 0.6 miles on the right hand side.
