Description

Seller's comments...

This has been a much-loved home and one we had expected to enjoy for many more years. A change in family circumstances has prompted a move closer to relatives in Dorset.

We have loved the quiet and peaceful setting, within a welcoming village that is well placed for Bicester and convenient transport links. The sense of community and friendly, considerate neighbours has been a real highlight of living here.

The house itself offers generous and flexible living space, with a number of rooms that can be adapted for different uses, including home working. The garden has proved to be a very manageable size, arranged over two distinct areas: a lower lawn with established borders, and an upper gravelled terrace ideal for seating and outdoor dining.

When we first viewed the property, we had questions around the rear right of access; however, this has proved very straightforward in practice and is used only for bin access by the two neighbouring properties.

Since moving in, we have made a number of thoughtful improvements to enhance the layout, light, and overall feel of the house, while being careful to retain its period character. This includes reinstating the front door to its original position, creating a more welcoming entrance both externally and internally, and forming a defined lobby area with a separate study space. Further improvements include the installation of stone flooring and upgraded oak skirting boards, along with the addition of a Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) system, contributing to a comfortable and well-ventilated living environment.

In 2022, we installed a double-sided wood-burning stove, which has become a real focal point of the home. It brings warmth and atmosphere to both the sitting room and study, while maintaining an open, flowing feel between the two spaces.

We have loved the house both as a couple and as a home that comfortably allowed us to plan for the future, with flexible spaces that adapt well to changing needs. It would suit a range of buyers, from those looking for a characterful village home to families or professionals seeking space, versatility, and a peaceful setting.

Agent's comments...

Set along a quiet private no-through lane, just a short stroll from the much-loved Red Cow pub, this charming three-bedroom end-of-terrace period cottage enjoys a peaceful village setting and is offered to the market chain free. Backing onto the established gardens of The Manor House, the property combines character, space and a wonderful sense of privacy.

The village itself is particularly popular with families, benefitting from a highly regarded local primary school rated Outstanding, while also offering excellent access to the A34 and Junction 9 of the M40, making it an ideal location for commuters.

Inside, the ground floor has a surprisingly bright and airy feel, with a natural flow between the main living spaces. A welcoming sitting room features a double-sided wood-burning stove, creating a warm focal point that also serves the adjoining study or additional reception room. There is a separate dining room with an attractive ornamental stove, perfect for entertaining, along with a traditional galley-style kitchen fitted with an electric oven and hob, fridge/freezer and dishwasher. A garden room provides additional flexible living space, while a ground floor W.C adds everyday practicality.

Upstairs, the accommodation includes three well-proportioned double bedrooms, two of which benefit from fitted wardrobes. The family bathroom is fitted with a suite including a shower over the bath.

Outside, the rear garden offers a pleasant and private space with a useful storage shed. Parking is available on the street for approximately two to three vehicles, complemented by a single garage. The property is connected to mains electricity and water, falls within Council Tax Band D and has an EPC rating of E.
