Description
A charming and tucked-away three-bedroom cottage, set within the sought-after enclave of The Rookery in the heart of Kidlington. Originally built in 1834, this characterful home is steeped in history and brimming with period features, while having been thoughtfully updated by the current owners to suit modern living. The cottage enjoys an enviable position: secluded enough to offer a peaceful living environment, yet within easy reach of Kidlington High Street, bus routes into Oxford and excellent transport links, including Oxford Parkway station.
The approach sets the tone, with a traditional stable door opening into a welcoming sitting room centred around an impressive inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove, making it the perfect space for cosy evenings. From here, the home flows through to a beautifully presented kitchen and dining area, where exposed beams and brickwork add warmth and character. This space has been sympathetically modernised and now offers an excellent blend of practicality and style, with ample room for family dining or entertaining. A convenient cloakroom completes the ground-floor accommodation.
On the first floor, there are two well-proportioned bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom, featuring a claw-footed roll-top bath as well as a separate shower. The top floor is home to a light and airy master bedroom, where a dormer window and exposed ceiling timbers create a delightful balance of charm and comfort.
Externally, the cottage benefits from a beautifully landscaped garden enclosed by traditional drystone walling, offering an attractive and private outdoor retreat. To the rear, a versatile outbuilding currently set up as a home office comes complete with power, lighting and internet connection, making it ideal for remote working, a studio, playroom or gym. Adding further appeal, the property is one of only two cottages in the row that benefits from an allocated parking space.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a truly individual home that combines historic charm with practical modern touches, in a location that offers both tranquility and convenience.
