To truly appreciate this wonderful, quirky property we strongly recommend arranging a viewing; the house itself is not like any others you may have seen. Set on a plot of approx. 0.7 acres and originally two cottages, combined to make a generous and versatile seven-bedroom family home with many period features, a substantial garden, double garage, several outbuildings and a swimming pool! There are ample opportunities for reconfiguring and updating the accommodation with potential to add value. The conservatory is an ideal space to relax or entertain in when it's not warm enough to sit outside and who doesn't love an Aga! Located within easy reach of Oxford and local villages and towns, this fantastic property is an opportunity not to be missed.
WHAT THE OWNER SAYS ... 'We have enjoyed living at Lower End for over 45 years. As our children grew, so did the house, with several extensions over time. The village centres of Ewelme and Benson are equidistant so we benefit from having a foot in each camp. Benson has a useful selection of shops and a much valued library as well as being close to the river. The pretty village of Ewelme with its wonderful church, almshouses, school and community shop, enjoys a lively social life. A trip to the local hostelry includes a pleasant walk beside the famous water cress beds. We love our sunny conservatory and lovely big kitchen with walk-in larder and welcoming oil-fired Aga, which also provides plentiful hot water.

Within the enclosed south facing rear garden there is something for everyone. Mainly laid to lawn with a patio, steps take you from the patio to the main part of the garden. A workshop, originally built as offices, is supplied with power and lighting and has two further old privies attached which provide excellent storage and supports the swimming pool. As well as being a substantial size in which to enjoy the summer months, this garden is also productive, with various plots growing an abundance of vegetables and soft fruit and a number of apple and plum trees.
The property's double-garage has barn-style doors and is supplied with power and lighting via the solar panelling which also yields a useful income. There is driveway parking for several vehicles. A former air raid shelter provides excellent storage, protecting from winter frosts and a cool area during the heat of the summer. There is a lean-to shed attached.
