The Green, Great Milton, Oxford, Oxfordshire, OX44

Situated in a conservation area, this most attractive 18th century Grade II Listed cottage has a warm and welcoming feel with an enormous amount of character and many period features throughout including exposed beams, fireplaces, window seats and wooden and stone flooring. Formerly the village saddlery, the cottage has evolved over the years into a lovely family home ideally situated in the heart of the village. The property also has the benefit of a garage and an attached barn offering excellent storage and the potential to be converted to extend the accommodation of the house, subject to the necessary consents. Having been in the same ownership since the 1960’s, the property has been very well maintained but the kitchen and bathrooms now require updating.

Arranged over two floors, the accommodation boasts well proportion rooms with a cellar in addition. The front door opens to the entrance hall with two reception rooms arranged either side. The sitting room is a charming room with a door to the garden, and the drawing room, arranged on two levels, enjoys a fireplace and the lovely feature of two window seats. From the drawing room a door leads to the inner hall with staircase to the first floor, access to the cellar and to the dining room. Conveniently arranged off the kitchen, the dining room provides the third reception room, another charming room with wood block flooring. The kitchen, now in need of updating, connects to the barn and has a stable door providing direct access to the garden. At first floor level are four well-proportioned double bedrooms and the family bathroom. The principal bedroom has an en-suite bathroom.

Providing a most attractive setting and complementing the house, is the west-facing, mature walled garden. The garden has been beautifully maintained with areas of lawn and an abundance of planting including mature borders, box hedging, shrubs and trees including fruit. A wisteria adorns the rear facade, The garage to the side of the house, provides further storage space and direct access from the front of the house to the garden.
