Description
A beautifully presented three-bedroom cottage, dating back to the late 19th century, nestled in the heart of the ever-popular Church Street Conservation Area. Steeped in history, the property sits on the former site of the renowned ‘Kidlington House Academy’, a Victorian-era private school known locally for its contribution to the education of boys in the early to mid-1800s.
This charming home blends character and modern convenience with ease, showcasing lovely period features throughout, including exposed stonework, ceiling timbers, and mullioned windows. The approach to the front door is particularly enchanting, framed by a mature wisteria that climbs gracefully across the stone façade, a fitting introduction to the warmth and charm within.
Once inside, you step into a cosy living room centred around a feature fireplace. Beyond, there’s a separate dining room, a useful cloakroom, and an inner hallway that flows into a well-fitted country-style kitchen. There is also a utility room and a generous ground-floor bathroom. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, with the two rear rooms enjoying open views across the fields beyond.
Outside, the cottage benefits from a large front garden, a perfect spot to sit and enjoy the peaceful surroundings, with the sound of St Mary's Church bells in the distance adding to the setting. Gated access leads to off-street parking for several vehicles. To the side, a private courtyard garden offers a lovely space for outdoor dining and summer BBQs.
A standout feature of the property is the substantial garage building. The front section remains a traditional garage space, while the rear has been extended and converted to provide a versatile workshop, studio, home office or even a formal dining area. Stairs rise to a generous loft room, which has previously served as an occasional bedroom. This outbuilding holds real potential to be developed into a separate dwelling, subject to the usual planning consents.
The property is offered to the market with no onward chain.
