Rocky Banks, Brize Norton

Steeped in history and character, this charming two-bedroom cottage dates back to the 1800s and has been thoughtfully updated by the current owners since 2017, blending period features with modern touches. Set along a private lane in the heart of Brize Norton and with exposed beams and character features retained throughout, the property offers a cosy home full of rustic charm, complemented by practical improvements for everyday living.

Inside, the entrance hall with limestone flooring makes clever use of space with a fitted storage bench, cupboards, and an under-stairs area, with steps leading to the upper ground floor. The living room is a welcoming retreat, with exposed beams, a certified log burner (installed 2022), and dual front-aspect windows – one with a bespoke window seat, perfect for reading or enjoying the view.

The kitchen, refitted around three years ago, combines modern design with traditional character. Featuring travertine flooring, skylights that draw in natural light, a Belfast sink, and a discreet cupboard housing laundry appliances, it has everything needed for modern living. The bathroom, updated in 2020, includes a bath with electric shower over, fitted cupboard, and matching travertine tiling.

Upstairs are two double bedrooms, both front-facing. The main bedroom benefits from a built-in wardrobe, while the second provides loft access (with added insulation, suitable for storage). Original doors have been preserved in both rooms, adding to the home’s period feel.

Outside, the cottage enjoys a front garden with a stone shed and scope to be enclosed if desired. Parking is provided with one allocated space, plus an additional rented space nearby.

There is a shared septic tank (costs just £60 every two years) and shared lane maintenance.

This delightful period home offers a rare opportunity to enjoy village living with historic charm, yet with key updates already in place – from the kitchen and bathroom to modern heating and insulation.
