Knight Frank are delighted to present this period cottage situated in a outstanding village location. Ewelme village is in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty at the foot of the Chiltern Hills.

The property benefits from a wonderful extension providing spacious living space. It has a superbly finished office/bedroom annexe with its own W.C. and shower facilities.

3 Levers Cottage is a beautifully presented Grade II listed cottage occupying a wonderful, elevated position close to the church and Almhouses in the historic village of Ewelme.
Believed to date back to the 17th Century, the property has been extensively refurbished and extended by the current owners to create stylish living accommodation with the convenience of modern fixtures and fittings and a separate annexe (bedroom three)/home office with W.C. and shower room. Care has been taken to retain the character of the original cottage with the addition of a beautifully crafted, open plan kitchen/dining area. The sitting room is at the front of the house and benefits from a wood burning stove, oak flooring and attractive exposed beams. There is a large storage cupboard accessed off the hallway and the cloakroom completes the accommodation on the ground floor.
On the first floor the principal bedroom has a lovely bay window and vaulted ceilings. The second bedroom has high ceilings and exposed beams and both bedrooms are served by the beautifully fitted bathroom.
Outside the wonderful landscaped gardens provide privacy and a variety of different seating areas. Flanked on one side by an old brick wall the garden is well stocked with plants, shrubs and climbing roses. On the top terrace is a timber summer house and lawn, an ideal area for al fresco entertaining.
The brick built annexe has been refurbished to full residential standards and provides an excellent office/studio space or generous third bedroom.
Situated in the Chiltern Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in South Oxfordshire. The village has a fine parish church where Thomas Chaucer and Jerome K Jerome are buried.
