What the owners say:
"The location is perfect; quiet, no traffic and of course, great views. In the summer the sun streams in whilst we watch it go down and in the winter it is a cosy cottage with the log burner on. Oving is a wonderful village and is isolated from traffic noise, with a great sense of community and village events, where we have found it incredibly easy to make good friends."

This charming home is steeped in history, originally constructed as three separate cottages around the mid-1600s and thoughtfully combined into one impressive residence. Tinkers End is a beautifully presented Grade II Listed cottage.

The fusion of traditional character and contemporary design is evident throughout, from the bespoke Austin Matthews solid oak kitchen/breakfast room to the elegant period features such as inglenook fireplaces with a cast iron wood-burning stove. The kitchen is fitted with high-end appliances, including a built-in coffee machine, microwave, wine fridge, and a five-ring induction hob with ovens and opens directly onto a beautifully planted cottage garden with dedicated seating areas, perfect for indoor-outdoor living.

Accommodation is generously proportioned and versatile, offering three inviting reception rooms and four double bedrooms, each benefiting from its own well-appointed bathroom suite. The thoughtful layout caters to modern living while preserving the warmth and charm of a historic home.

Externally, a block-paved driveway leads to bespoke double gates, granting access to a fully enclosed rear garden that has been extensively redesigned and planted to create a peaceful and private outdoor retreat. The garden features lawns, multiple patios, and mature borders,
