Canal Road, Thrupp, Kidlington

Dating back to 1780 with a substantial later addition, this charming canal-side cottage occupies an enviable position within the highly regarded village of Thrupp, just north of Oxford and close to the historic town of Woodstock. The property enjoys attractive views across the adjacent water and moored narrowboats, creating a peaceful and picturesque setting. Opportunities to acquire a home in this location are rare, with demand remaining consistently strong.

Since purchasing the property in 2020, the current owners have undertaken a comprehensive programme of improvements, enhancing the cottage to a high standard while retaining its original character. In particular, the kitchen has been refitted with quality cabinetry and integrated appliances and benefits from a useful pantry providing additional storage. The sitting room is a welcoming space, featuring a wood-burning stove, engineered wooden floorboards and underfloor heating, creating comfort throughout the year. The property has been redecorated in a tasteful, cohesive style and also benefits from double glazed windows.

Internally, the cottage is well balanced, with an effortless flow across the ground floor. Equally well arranged is the first floor accommodation comprising three bedrooms and a luxurious refitted bathroom. Notably, there is a boarded loft space providing important storage capacity and practicality.

To the rear is a neatly arranged, low-maintenance garden enclosed by attractive Cotswold stone walls, with a detached home office or gym offering flexible additional space. To the front, an electric vehicle charging point provides a convenient modern addition.

Thrupp is a lovely canal-side village, renowned for its towpath walks, two popular public houses and a traditional tea shop whilst remaining exceptionally convenient for the wider Oxfordshire road network.
