High Street, Bampton, Oxfordshire, OX18

DESCRIPTION
Occupying a prime position within the conservation area in the heart of this sought-after village, Grange Cottage is an elegant and historic home, constructed of Cotswold stone beneath a traditional Stonesfield slate roof. Dating back to the 17th century, with a later Georgian frontage, the property beautifully blends character and proportion with excellent scope to improve.

A welcoming reception hall with flagstone flooring sets the tone for the accommodation beyond. The principal reception rooms are well proportioned and filled with natural light. The double-aspect drawing room features a central working fireplace, generous ceiling height, and a large bay-style window overlooking the garden. The formal dining room provides easy access through to the kitchen. The kitchen/breakfast room has stone flooring, exposed timbers, and fitted with a traditional gas Aga alongside integrated appliances.
Beyond, a practical rear hallway provides access to the garden and side lane, along with a cloakroom and shower. A particularly versatile addition is the garden room/home office, with adjoining storage and further WC facilities.
The first floor offers three spacious double bedrooms, a single bedroom and two bathrooms. The second floor provides a fifth bedroom and access to extensive attic space. The layout offers excellent flexibility for family living, guest accommodation, or workspace requirements.

The gardens are a particular highlight - to the front, beautifully landscaped borders frame the property, enhancing its period charm. To the rear, a private south-facing walled garden provides a peaceful and sheltered setting, complete with terrace.
A former stable offers valuable storage or potential for conversion (subject to consents).
The property further benefits from a single garage, alongside two parking spaces on Chapel Lane, plus additional shared guest parking.
