3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Hampden Way, Ewelme OX10

Tucked away just off Cat Lane in a quiet spot at the back edge of Ewelme village, 7 Hampden Way is a well-kept three-bedroom semi-detached home built in the late 1950s. It is a solid, sensible house of its era and a much loved and very well cared family home.

On the ground floor is a good-sized kitchen/diner, a useful utility space for extra overflow, and a downstairs toilet with a heated towel rail. The lounge is a cosy spot, perfect for a quiet evening in front of the TV, with a conservatory extension just off it that is currently being used as a home office. It is a very useful room, with the garden in view and provides a quiet place to work.

Upstairs are three good-sized bedrooms and a bathroom with underfloor heating and a heated towel rail. There is also a good amount of storage throughout the house, including understairs storage, fitted storage in the lounge, built-in wardrobes in the main bedroom, a cupboard in the smaller bedroom, and a boarded loft for anything that needs to be tucked properly out of sight.

Outside, the garden is a real part of the home rather than just something to look out at. There is a patio area for outdoor dining and evening entertaining, along with several spots to sit with a coffee and enjoy the peace of the setting. To the front, the driveway comfortably holds three cars, making day-to-day parking very straightforward.

What really makes this place special is where it sits. The church, the village school and the volunteer-run shop are all a short walk away, and the village pub, a real draw locally, is only a little further. Step out of the door and you are straight into footpaths, bridleways and cycle routes threading off into the Chiltern foothills.

Ewelme is one of those villages that has quietly held onto itself. The brook still runs along the village street from the spring that gave the place its name and past the watercress beds. The Almshouses, Church and Schoolroom, built in the 1430s by Geoffrey Chaucer’s granddaughter, are still standing and still in use. It is a village with real depth; close enough to Wallingford to be practical and far enough into the hills to feel away from things.
