A beautifully renovated Grade II listed village house, discreetly tucked away in one of Oxfordshire’s most prestigious villages. The property retains a wealth of original character features, including flagstone flooring, period fireplaces and exposed beams and stonework. The current owners have also installed woodburning stoves in several of the reception rooms, enhancing both warmth and atmosphere. The house has been stylishly and sympathetically restored using traditional craftsmanship and locally sourced materials, successfully combining historic charm with modern comfort.
The accommodation comprises a welcoming reception hall, formal dining room, cosy snug and an impressive 25-foot kitchen/breakfast room. Additional ground-floor space includes a drawing room opening to the garden, a cloakroom and a separate laundry room. Upstairs, the principal bedroom suite benefits from a dressing room and a spacious en-suite bathroom, while two further bedrooms each feature their own en-suite facilities.
Outside, the property enjoys a superb walled garden, mainly laid to lawn with well stocked flower borders, green house, raised vegetable beds, outside store and a semi-detached outbuilding currently used as a generous storage space, offering versatile potential. There is also luxury garden room that would make an ideal home office. At the front of the property there is a pretty front garden and a mature Wisteria plant, adding to the charm of the property, and a gravel parking bay for two cars.

Considered one of the most unspoilt villages in the Cotswolds, Taynton is beautifully positioned within the Windrush valley, surrounded by rolling countryside designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village offers a peaceful and private setting, characterised by attractive period homes and a strong sense of community. The historic market town of Burford, known as the Gateway to the Cotswolds, lies just a short distance away and provides a charming high street, local schools, independent shops, public houses and everyday amenities. Despite its idyllic rural setting, Taynton is well connected via the A40, with Oxford, Cheltenham and London accessible by road and rail, including regular services from Charlbury to London Paddington. Taynton combines timeless Cotswold charm with exceptional accessibility in one of Oxfordshire’s most desirable locations.
