Description

Hidden away along a private driveway off Church Street, is this remarkable stone-built home dating back over 400 years, originally a former dairy and now transformed into an individual residence extending to approximately 2,049 sq. ft.

At the heart of the home is an impressive 28 ft living room full of period character, featuring exposed oak beams, Gothic arches, a traditional stone fireplace, and timber flooring. The accommodation flows into a beautifully appointed kitchen/dining room with contemporary cabinetry, a range cooker, and skylights allowing for excellent natural light. A separate sitting room provides additional reception space, while three ground floor bedrooms enjoy views over and access to the rear garden.

The first floor is dedicated entirely to an exceptional principal suite, creating a peaceful private retreat. The bedroom is enhanced by a dramatic vaulted cruck-beam ceiling, highlighting the property’s historic character. The suite also benefits from eaves storage, a walk in glazed dressing area, and a luxurious en-suite bathroom fitted with a roll-top bath and quality fittings.

The rear garden is beautifully enclosed and inspired by Japanese design, offering exceptional privacy within mature stone walls. Features include original stone paving, hardwood decking, bamboo planting, a flowering cherry tree, a pond, and a cedar-wood hot tub discreetly positioned amongst the greenery.

To the front, a shingle driveway provides parking for several vehicles and leads to a detached garage with further potential, subject to consent.

Nestled along historic Church Street in the heart of Sutton Courtenay—one of Oxfordshire’s most picturesque and sought-after riverside villages—Kinecroft offers an idyllic country lifestyle without compromising on connectivity. This vibrant, character-rich community features traditional village pubs, a local shop, beautiful Thames-side walks, and incredible historic heritage as the final resting place of George Orwell. Perfect for commuters, the property sits just three miles from Didcot Parkway, offering a direct rail link to London Paddington in 45 minutes, and is within easy striking distance of historic Abingdon-on-Thames, Milton Park, and Oxford city centre, beautifully bridging the gap between a peaceful village sanctuary and effortless modern accessibility.
