The Cot, Forest Hill, OX33

The Cot on Wheatley Road is a truly charming two bedroom semi-detached cottage that feels instantly welcoming from the moment you arrive. Set in a village location with stunning views, it offers that rare balance of countryside calm and everyday practicality, with a warm, homely atmosphere that's easy to imagine coming back to at the end of a busy day. With an asking price of £425,000, this is a home that delivers character, comfort and lifestyle in equal measure and it really is a must see.

Inside, the cottage offers two reception rooms, giving you the flexibility to create spaces that suit the way you live. Whether you're picturing a cosy sitting room for relaxed evenings and a separate dining room for entertaining, or a dedicated area for home working, hobbies or a reading snug, the layout lends itself beautifully to modern life while still retaining a cottage feel. Central heating and double glazing add reassurance and year-round comfort, making it as practical as it is pretty.

Upstairs, you'll find two double bedrooms, each with a sense of space that's often hard to come by in a cottage setting. Waking up here feels like a treat, especially with the open views that remind you you're somewhere special. 

Outside is where this home really comes into its own. Off-street parking takes the stress out of arrivals. The large side-garden (on a licence agreement from the local land-owner),  gives you a wonderful amount of outdoor space to enjoy. It's ideal for morning coffee in the sunshine, growing flowers and herbs, hosting friends, or simply having room to breathe with a book and a glass of something chilled as the light changes over the countryside.

The location is perfectly pitched for those who want village life without feeling cut off. Supermarkets, schools, leisure facilities and healthcare are within easy reach, and there are rail links nearby for wider connections, making this a practical base for commuting or days out while still enjoying the peace and views that make the setting so appealing.

If you're looking for a home that feels personal, comforting and full of potential, The Cot stands out. It offers the charm of a cottage, the flexibility of two reception rooms, generous bedrooms, parking, and an outdoor space that invites you to slow down and enjoy your surroundings. This is the kind of property that doesn't just tick boxes, it creates a lifestyle.
