High Street, Culworth, Banbury, Northamptonshire, OX17

Charming, deceptively spacious village living.

Description

Historically three cottages, which have been combined and further extended, Milton Cottage provides deceptively spacious and well presented accommodation set in the heart of the village of Culworth. This much loved home, which dates back to the early 1600's, has been sensitively improved over recent years. The versatile ground floor accommodation has plenty of charm and a wealth of character features, whilst upstairs provides light and well-proportioned bedrooms.

A dual aspect living room features a large stone inglenook fireplace with multi-fuel stove and double doors on to the decking and garden. A charming sitting room features an impressive open fireplace, window seat and in-built storage. There is then a further snug / study with a window seat and in-built storage and desk.

To the rear of the property is an impressive, bespoke design kitchen / dining room, which was fitted in 2022, with integrated appliances and quartz tops. The kitchen also features ample room for dining, a walk-in pantry and double doors to the garden.

The property also benefits from a separate utility room with in-built units and downstairs WC. A useful side passageway provides an ideal place for storage and access to the garden.

First floor provides a generous dual aspect principal bedroom with in- built wardrobes and window seat, three further double bedrooms one of which has an en suite shower. There is also a family bathroom, with a roll top bath, shower, WC and basin and a separate WC. The property also features generous attic space which is boarded and part of which has been converted to provide further usable space.

To the rear of the property is an enclosed garden with a large area of decking, ideal for alfresco dining. This leads to an area of lawn with raised flowerbeds and further decking at the end of the garden with wonderful views over open countryside.
