A charming and historic thatched cottage nestled in the heart of the sought-after village of Clifton Hampden, Fleur De Lys dates back to the 1700s and is believed to have once served as a public house. Rich in period character and offering scope for further enhancement, this unique home blends original features with modern updates.
The property has seen several improvements in recent years, including underfloor heating, new flooring, decorative upgrades, and updated electrical and heating systems. Some areas — notably the kitchen and one of the bedrooms — would benefit from further refurbishment, presenting an exciting opportunity to add personal touches and additional value.
The ground floor features a welcoming reception hall with wooden flooring and a striking inglenook fireplace, two generous reception rooms (one also with an inglenook), a study, W.C., and a spacious kitchen/dining room. Upstairs, the accommodation comprises four well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom.
Outside, the rear garden is mainly laid to lawn and framed by mature trees and shrubs, offering a peaceful, private setting. A paved courtyard provides access to a number of useful store rooms and outbuildings, which could offer further potential, subject to the necessary consents.
Clifton Hampden is a picturesque and well-regarded village set on the River Thames in South Oxfordshire. Surrounded by beautiful countryside, it offers a peaceful setting with a strong community feel. The village is home to a 14th-century church, a historic bridge, and the popular riverside pub, The Barley Mow.
The area is well served for education, with Culham Primary School nearby, and a number of excellent state and independent schools in Abingdon and Oxford, including The Europa School, Abingdon School, Our Lady’s Abingdon, and St Helen and St Katharine.
For commuters, Didcot Parkway is a short drive away, providing fast rail links to Oxford, Reading, and London Paddington. The A34 and M40 are also easily accessible, making Clifton Hampden well connected while retaining its rural charm.
