This most attractive property has been well maintained by the current owners, who have recently installed a new bathroom and downstairs loo and re-decorated internally. It was re-thatched in the last two years. A stable-style door leads into an attractive dining hall with a parquet floor and exposed beams; the ceiling is relatively low.
There is a lovely double-aspect sitting room with an open fire, a parquet floor and an adjacent study area. The modern kitchen has a vaulted ceiling and a stable-style door leading into the pretty garden. There is a valuable larder with a slate slab.
Two double bedrooms and a newly fitted bathroom are on the first floor.
An impressive studio/garden house with a shower room could be used for guest accommodation or as a home office or gym. Doors lead to a sheltered veranda with wonderful views over the neighbouring lake and fields.
The beautiful cottage garden is mainly laid to lawn with various trees and shrubs, including winter flowering cherry and crab apples. A gravel drive provides parking for two to three cars.

Well Cottage is a delightful grade II listed property in East Lockinge, a picturesque and peaceful village in the Vale of White Horse. East Lockinge is primarily a model village created by Lord and Lady Wantage in the 1860s. With their descendants still owning and protecting most of the land and buildings, properties rarely come up for sale in this highly desirable village.
Located under the Ridgeway, there are many walks with the dog (or runs or bike rides) directly from the house, over fields, through woods, by chalk streams, and up on the Downs. This variety creates many opportunities for painting, wildlife spotting and landscape photography.
Other local activities include fly fishing (in the lake at the bottom of the garden), riding from the stables in and around Lockinge (Old Berks Hunt), and golfing at Frilford Golf Club.
Ardington is a short walk over the fields and has a shop/café (the Grocer Chef), The Boar's Head pub, a village hall and Busy Bees private day nursery. Wantage, only a five minutes drive away, has a Waitrose and a Sainsburys, chemists, doctors, dentists, garages, etc. and twice-weekly markets on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Eggs, meat, fruit and veg are bought directly from local farm shops.
Oxford is only thirty minutes away with its schools, universities, hospitals, and many arts, cultural, sports, hospitality, and retail activities. Communications are excellent, with easy access to London, the South and the West using the M40 and the M4 via the A34. Didcot Parkway station has frequent trains to Paddington from 37 minutes. Heathrow is about one hour's drive.

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
