Hethe, Nr Bicester, Oxfordshire

A superb village house in need of some updating with lovely gardens and useful separate cottage.

Super family house with masses of potential with a very special garden.

Ground Floor
• An imposing symmetrical fronted stone-built village house adjacent to the village memorial. Thought to date from the early 19th century with a much earlier rear section.
• From a wide entrance hall, with small cellar below, and stairs rise to the first floor. Door to the rear garden.
• From either side of the entrance hall are well proportioned drawing and dining rooms, with good ceiling heights, both with window shutters and fireplaces.
• Steps lead down to a large “living” kitchen with a quarry tile floor, extensive wall and floor cupboards including an Aga. A sitting area with stone fireplace.

First Floor
• First floor with two good sized high ceilinged bedrooms, one with fitted cupboards, both ensuite, sharing a bathroom with a shower.
• Steps lead down to the older part of the property and include two further bedrooms and a bathroom.

Outside
• Accessed from both the front of the house and the rear terrace is a two-storey cottage with a living room including a kitchenette and stairs to a first floor bedroom with a shower room. This cottage needs some updating but has potential for income generation, work from home space or for guest accommodation.
