Chapel Lane, Adderbury, Banbury

Tucked away along a peaceful no-through road in the heart of the highly sought-after village of Adderbury, Foresters Cottage is a truly enchanting two-bedroom semi-detached period home, offering an exceptional blend of character, warmth and timeless charm. Having been cherished by just two owners over the past seventy years, the property stands as a testament to the quality of life it offers and the deep affection it inspires in those fortunate enough to call it home.

This delightful period cottage boasts a quintessential village appeal. Positioned in an enviable setting, the no-through road feels tucked away and private, yet remains conveniently located to enjoy all that this charming village has to offer, and connected to wider amenities and commuter links.



Internally, Foresters Cottage is beautifully presented throughout, with interiors that perfectly complement the property’s period origins.

Character features including exposed stonework, timber beams, deep-set windows and an impressive inglenook fireplace create an immediate sense of warmth and authenticity.

The sitting room is particularly inviting — a light and comfortable space centred around the fireplace and wood-burning stove, ideal for cosy evenings and relaxed entertaining alike.

The accommodation has a natural and highly practical flow. To the rear of the property lies the charming kitchen/dining room, a welcoming space with room for everyday family dining.
The kitchen enjoys lovely views across the garden and benefits from direct access outside, allowing the interior and exterior spaces to connect beautifully during the warmer months.

The first floor has two generously proportioned bedrooms, both enjoying excellent natural light through traditional cottage windows. Bedroom One is particularly spacious, while Bedroom Two offers excellent flexibility as a guest room, home office or additional bedroom.

The bathroom is conveniently positioned between the two rooms and serves the first floor comfortably.

One of the property’s standout features is undoubtedly the garden, which provides a wonderfully private and beautifully landscaped outdoor environment.
Thoughtfully designed with seating areas, mature planting and attractive stone walling, the garden feels like a true extension of the home itself. Whether enjoying morning coffee beneath the trees, summer dining with friends or quiet evenings outdoors, the space offers a rare degree of tranquillity and charm.

In addition, the property benefits from useful outbuildings and a detached shed, providing valuable storage and practical versatility.

Foresters Cottage is far more than simply a charming period property; it is a much loved home that has only changed hands twice in seven decades speaking volumes about both the cottage itself and the exceptional lifestyle afforded by its peaceful Adderbury setting.


Adderbury itself is regarded as one of North Oxfordshire’s most attractive and well-connected villages, renowned for its historic stone cottages, thriving community and excellent amenities.

The village offers a wonderful balance between rural charm and modern convenience, with a selection of pubs, cafés, a village shop, post office and highly regarded schooling all within easy reach.
For commuters, connectivity is excellent; Banbury railway station is only a short drive away and provides fast direct services to London Marylebone, while the nearby M40 offers straightforward access to Oxford, Birmingham and beyond. This combination of countryside tranquillity and superb transport links continues to make Adderbury one of the area’s most sought-after village locations.
