Summary - Holly Howe, Hambleden RG9 6NG
3 bed 1 bath Cottage
Detached 3-bedroom period cottage with exposed beams and bay windows
Set on a generous plot above the Hambleden Valley, Holly Howe is a detached three-bedroom cottage that blends period character with countryside outlooks. Bay windows, exposed beams and an open fireplace create warm, usable reception rooms, while the mature, lawned gardens wrap around the house and frame long views over fields.
The ground floor layout is practical for family life: separate dining and living rooms, a kitchen with pantry, cloakroom and a small internal utility/boot porch leading to the attached single garage. A shingle driveway provides private parking and direct access to the garage. Upstairs are three double bedrooms and a family bathroom, each benefiting from natural light and pleasant outlooks.
This property has clear potential for improvement. The cottage is heated by an oil-fired boiler (private oil tank on the driveway) and the original granite/flint walls are assumed to be uninsulated. Double glazing has been installed post-2002, but broadband speeds are very slow and some rooms show dated decor. Council tax is described as quite expensive. These factors mean the house will suit buyers happy to invest in energy and connectivity upgrades to modernise comfort and efficiency.
Quiet hamlet living is complemented by easy access to Hambleden, Marlow and Henley-on-Thames, good local primary schools and rural leisure such as walking and equestrian facilities. For families seeking character, outdoor space and scope to personalise a substantial period cottage, Holly Howe offers a rare countryside setting with practical immediate use and longer-term improvement potential.
