Kingfisher Cottage is an impressive village property occupying a unique location in Blewbury, directly overlooking the beautiful and ancient Cleve. The Cleve is a historic spring-fed lake which helps characterise the heart of Blewbury village. Kingfisher Cottage occupies an elevated position with imaginatively landscaped terraces and gardens taking full advantage of this waterside setting. The house itself is stylish and contemporary in design, with a nod to the classical architecture of period houses in the core of the village. The house benefits from the modern convenience and comfort of double glazed windows throughout, and contemporary kitchen and bathrooms. Large French doors flow out from the main reception rooms onto the generous stone terraces. The house is centred around a 30’ kitchen/breakfast room with natural wood flooring, smart kitchen cabinetry and a generous area for entertaining and dining. There is also a spacious drawing room with a sleek, modern log burning stove and doors opening onto the west facing terrace which also benefits from the heated, open air swimming pool. There is a smaller family sitting room which currently doubles up as a library. The music room, which has a vaulted ceiling, is a further light and airy reception space which could be used for a number of different uses. There is also a home office within the house. A traditional style staircase rises to the first floor with an open, galleried landing which benefits from a roof lantern bathing the upstairs in natural light. There are four bedrooms including the principal bedroom with en suite, and a family bathroom.

The gardens are well maintained and stocked for seasonal interest, and offer a mixture of traditional lawns and stone terraces. The gardens have been designed to maximise the special location overlooking The Cleve. Of particular note is the heated swimming pool which forms part of the terraced garden design. There is parking at the front of the property and also an open green oak framed car port for two cars by the side door to Kingfisher Cottage.

Historic Blewbury occupies a scenic setting, nestled at the foot of the North Wessex Downs, which is criss-crossed by chalk streams rising from springs and forming natural ponds around the village. Local amenities include a fuel station with convenience store, a garden centre with café and farm shop, and two popular pubs. Leisure activities are offered at the Blewbury Clubhouse, a sports and community centre, with cricket, tennis and croquet clubs, and a local drama group. Road and rail links are excellent with easy access to the A34, linking with the M4 and wider road networks, and regular train services into London from nearby Didcot and Cholsey. Blewbury is ideally located for the Harwell Campus, the UK's leading science and innovation centre, which is less than 5 miles away. There is a wide choice of schools in the area including Cranford House School, Moulsford prep school, The Dragon, Pangbourne College, Bradfield College and Radley College.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on February 11, 2022

    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: obtained from Ofcom on February 11, 2022

    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
