A charming cottage in the heart of this idyllic village in the Hambleden Valley, thoughtfully updated and retaining many period features and fine views across the surrounding countryside.
Description
Nestled in the heart of the sought-after village of Skirmett, just 6.5 miles from Henley-on-Thames, this charming cottage has been finished to a high specification throughout. The accommodation offers three bedrooms, a stylish upstairs bathroom, a generous reception room and an attractive private rear garden.
The front door opens into a light-filled sitting room featuring exposed oak beams, a slate floor, and a fireplace with a wood-burning stove. This flows into the country-style kitchen, fitted with a range of wall and base units and polished granite worktops. A dining area connects to the Amdega conservatory, which provides additional generous living space with views over the garden. Off the conservatory is a useful study and a downstairs cloakroom. The entire ground floor is laid with Fired Earth Chinese slate tiles and benefits from underfloor heating.
Upstairs, there are three bedrooms with polished pine floorboards, each enjoying glorious views across the Hambleden Valley. The bathroom includes a roll-top bath and also benefits from underfloor heating.
Accessed from the conservatory, the pretty rear garden includes steps leading to an old brick path that winds through the lawn to a decked seating area. A timber summerhouse with power provides additional storage and houses a tumble dryer. The garden is mostly laid to lawn, bordered by flower beds and mature shrubs, offering privacy and seclusion. Unallocated roadside parking is available at the front of the cottage.
Location
Located in the heart of one of the most desirable villages in the Hambleden Valley, this property enjoys a tremendous rural outlook over the hills and fields beyond.
Skirmett is home to a freehold village pub, The Frog, renowned for its local cuisine. The Frog is very much at the heart of the community and is currently undergoing extensive renovations, with plans to reopen in 2026. The village hall hosts a variety of local events and exercise classes throughout the year.
Just two miles away, Hambleden village offers a shop and post office, a village hall, a church, and the popular Stag and Huntsman pub and restaurant.
More extensive shopping and recreational facilities can be found in Henley-on-Thames and Marlow. The River Thames runs through the bottom of the Hambleden Valley, providing access to the scenic Thames Path.
Transport links are excellent, with the M40 (Junction 4) approximately five miles away. High Wycombe offers a mainline train service to London Marylebone, while Henley Station provides services to London Paddington via Twyford.
The area is well-served by schools of excellent repute and offers miles of walking and riding through the beautiful Chilterns countryside.
Square Footage: 1,016 sq ft
Directions
From either Henley-on-Thames or Marlow, proceed along the A4155 and at Mill End turn north up the Hambleden valley, signposted to Hambleden and Skirmett. Proceed for approximately 3 miles into Skirmett and the property will be found shortly after on the right hand side.
