A partly rendered and chalk and flint period house, Holme Farm has been in the same family for 55 years. Originally two cottages owned by the neighbouring Culham Estate, the house was extended in the 1950s to create one dwelling and now offers excellent potential to create an updated family home on the edge of this pretty, well-located riverside village and has far-reaching views over the River Thames to the surrounding countryside and up the Hambleden Valley. There are character features throughout, including wooden floors, ornate plasterwork and open fireplaces.

On entering under the portico porch, the front door leads into the entrance hall, with wooden floors, and in to the reception hall with bifolding doors onto the terrace, enjoying far reaching views across the garden, over the River Thames and beyond. There is also a downstairs cloak room, with separate WC off the hall.

The library has fitted handmade bookshelves either side of the fireplace which has a wooden carved mantelpiece, slate hearth and marble slips. The drawing room is a lovely, triple aspect room, with a door to the outside and an open fireplace with a marble mantelpiece, slips and hearth.

From the reception hall a door leads to the sitting room, with glass doors to the outside and open fire place. This room is close to the kitchen/breakfast room with an oil fired four oven AGA and a door leading to the dining room which has a separate door to the reception hall and doors to the terrace. A utility/boot room to the rear off the house has a door to the outside, along with a larder, further WC and a boiler room.

The sweeping staircase leads up to a wonderfully light galleried landing and the bedroom accommodation. As well as the principal bedroom suite with its entrance landing with fitted cupboards, en suite bathroom and bedroom, there are four double bedrooms, a family bathroom and a shower room.

The house is approached over a driveway to a large turning and parking area to the front of the house. The extensive lawned gardens comprise a mixture of deciduous trees, including, cherry, willow and horse chestnut. There is also an apple orchard. A disused swimming pool is located to the east of the house and a recently refurbished tennis court to the west of the barn. The grounds enjoy wonderful views over the adjoining countryside.

The outbuildings include a large period timber framed and clad barn, with double doors either side, offering excellent space which could be used for garaging or as an entertaining barn (subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents). There is a range of four timber clad outhouses, useful for storage and offering potential, as does the garden/workshop building, built of brick and flint, which would work well as secondary accommodation, subject to planning.

In all about 3.05 acres.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
