West Edge, Bicester, OX27

This exquisite Grade II Listed family home has been cherished by its current owners and stylishly updated, providing a comfortable living space. There are two properties on offer here, the original 3 bedroom cottage plus the three bedroom Annexe, offering the flexibility for a multi-generational family or those looking for secondary accommodation to generate additional income. Nestled in the charming Buckinghamshire village of Marsh Gibbon, near the Oxfordshire/Buckinghamshire border, this property is ideally situated. Positioned centrally within its plot, the home is fully enclosed for privacy. There is ample parking for both residences at the front with the rear of the property boasting a stunning cottage garden, meticulously maintained and bursting with a vibrant array of colour.

Upon entering, a flagstone hallway leads to a double-aspect drawing room with one of the house's three inglenook fireplaces featuring a large wood-burner. This room seamlessly transitions into a sitting room with another wood burner and inglenook. The ground floor also includes a cosy dining room that opens into a spacious kitchen with a vaulted, double-height ceiling, solid oak cupboards and granite worktops.

Upstairs, you will find three beautifully appointed bedrooms, a spacious landing that could also serve as a bedroom, two built-in cupboards, and a bathroom. The loft, which is boarded and lit, runs the length of the house and offers additional storage space.

The contemporary annexe, located at the end of the drive, is a versatile addition to the cottage, having been converted into a self-contained dwelling consisting of a lounge/kitchen/diner, three bedrooms, and two bathrooms, one of which is Ensuite. The upper windows provide views of both the front and rear gardens, adding to the appeal of the property. The annexe is currently run as a guest house, so provides ample opportunity to generate additional income.
