We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
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.
Clifton Hampden is a desirable village south of Oxford, 4 miles east of Abingdon, and 3 miles west of Dorchester-on- Thames.
There are excellent rail links available via Didcot Parkway mainline station (5 miles away) which has direct trains to London Paddington (40 minutes), and there is a branch line at Culham nearby.
It is also ideally placed for access in to Oxford via the B4015 and A4074.
There are many amenities available in the village, including a well-regarded primary school, the Barley Mow public house, a traditional village shop, a post office and GPs surgery with pharmacy.
Furthermore there is also a church, cricket ground, tennis courts, playground, village hall and a service station nearby. Council Tax Band: C
