Kidmore End is a vibrant South Oxfordshire village with a real sense of community, located close to the Oxfordshire/Berkshire border. There is a highly regarded primary school and playgroup along with other amenities including a church, village hall, recreation ground, village well and duck pond. The village pub is a few minutes walk from the cottage and there are many woodland walks and cycle paths to explore the countryside. The nearby towns of Henley and Reading are a 10 minute drive away and the Elizabeth Line runs from Reading station through the centre of London. There is good access to the M4 and M40 motorway networks.
The original cottage has been extended at the rear to create the new kitchen/breakfast/family room and principal bedroom suite. The 25ft drawing room overlooks the front and side gardens and has the original post office "shop window". This room has exposed beams to the walls and ceiling, the original inglenook fireplace and a door opening onto the staircase leading from the cellar to the first floor. There are 2 further reception rooms in the original cottage; the dining room which has a vaulted ceiling and door into a large walk in storeroom and another reception room which is currently used as a study and which has the original brick floor.
The kitchen/breakfast/family room is fitted with an extensive range of custom made and hand painted cabinets and drawers with granite work surfaces and upstands. In addition to the aga is a 2 ring "companion" gas hob, an integrated dishwasher and a fridge. This sunny room has a limestone floor and French doors which open into the garden.
On the first floor is the 17ft principal bedroom suite which has far reaching views over the rear gardens and fields beyond. There is a private shower room which is fitted with a white suite and has a window to the side. Also on this floor is a further double bedroom which has an extensive range of built in wardrobes and drawers. There is an additional, smaller double bedroom which has windows to the front and side and a large walk in area for storage or a young child's bed/cot. The family bathroom is fitted with a white suite including a bath with shower over and ceramic tiles to the walls and Amtico flooring. On the second floor is the 4th bedroom which also has far reaching views and a built in cupboard and access to attic storage.
The cottage gardens are the perfect setting for this unique home. Set behind private hedges to the front and rear, there are pretty cottage flower beds and a drive providing off road parking for up to 4 cars and which leads to a detached garage. The gardens to the side and rear has a pretty brick paved path and a brick terrace immediately outside the kitchen and a further brick terrace adjacent to the garden room which is a superb entertaining area.
There are a number of brick outbuildings in the garden; a fully fitted laundry room, a beautifully refurbished oak garden room/home office, a pretty summerhouse and a brick workshop.
Agents note
The cellar does not have standing head height but is an excellent storage space which is ideal as a wine cellar.
