Set at the end of a quiet lane close to the village centre, with bridleways and views surrounding, this quintessential Grade II listed cottage has been lovingly and thoughtfully updated, creating a home that retains all the warmth and character of its heritage, while offering the comfort and practicality expected of modern living.
From the outset, the property makes a striking impression - classic brick elevations beneath a beautifully kept thatched roof, set behind a charming cottage garden. Inside, the attention to detail is immediately apparent. Original features have been carefully preserved and enhanced, with exposed timbers, latch doors and beautifully restored flooring running throughout, complemented by the addition of underfloor heating, bringing a seamless balance of old and new.
At the heart of the home is a wonderfully atmospheric sitting room, centred around an impressive inglenook fireplace with a feature stove and french doors to the garden - an inviting space that perfectly captures the essence of cottage living. The adjoining dining room continues the theme, offering a warm and versatile setting for both everyday use and entertaining.
The kitchen has been sympathetically styled to sit comfortably within the home’s period aesthetic, while offering practical functionality and direct access to the garden - ideal for indoor-outdoor living during the warmer months.
Upstairs, two well-proportioned bedrooms sit beneath the eaves, each filled with natural light and enjoying a peaceful outlook. The bathroom is well-appointed, completing the accommodation in a manner that feels both characterful and considered.
Externally, the property truly comes into its own. The gardens have been thoughtfully landscaped, with a combination of decked terraces and established planting creating a private and tranquil setting.
A standout feature is the substantial detached outbuilding, complete with power and plumbing. This highly versatile space offers excellent potential for a range of uses, including a home office, studio or conversion into ancillary accommodation (subject to the usual consents).
Tucked away at the end of Church Lane, the setting is every bit as appealing as the cottage itself. The property sits within a truly unspoilt village environment, surrounded by rolling countryside and with a palpable sense of peace and seclusion - ideal for those seeking a slower pace of life or a countryside retreat.
Despite its idyllic feel, connectivity is excellent. The M40 is just a short drive away, providing straightforward access to London, Oxford and beyond, while the Oxford Tube coach service from Lewknor - just over a mile away - offers a convenient and regular link into the capital. It is this rare combination of rural charm and accessibility that makes the location so compelling.
Altogether, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a turnkey period home - rich in charm, intelligently updated and perfectly suited to modern lifestyles.
