End Cottage Church Street, Wootton, Woodstock

Situated in the heart of the highly sought-after village of Wootton, near Woodstock, this charming two-bedroom period cottage offers an abundance of character, beautifully balanced with thoughtful modern improvements and a wonderfully welcoming village community.

Believed to date back to the 1700s, this attractive cottage enjoys a fascinating history, with local folklore suggesting that Shakespeare himself once walked through the village. The property has been owned by the current vendors since 2023 and benefits from surprisingly high ceilings for a cottage of this age, creating a wonderful sense of space throughout.

The ground floor has previously been opened up by former owners to create a sociable open-plan living arrangement, perfectly suited to modern lifestyles whilst retaining a wealth of period charm. The kitchen and living space features original beams, attractive solid wood flooring and quartz composite worktops, creating a stylish yet characterful environment. The kitchen is centred around an electric Rangemaster cooker, which will remain, whilst additional appliances may also be available by separate negotiation.

A particularly unique feature is the converted cellar, where the floor has been lowered to create a highly usable additional reception space. Currently used as a cosy snug, this versatile room benefits from mains power and wool carpeting, making it ideal as a cinema room, home office, hobbies space or occasional guest accommodation.

To the first floor, the second bedroom is a generous double room bursting with character, featuring exposed beams, a charming window seat with stone surrounds and a working log burner. The family bathroom is also located on this floor and is well-proportioned, offering a bath with shower over and a useful airing cupboard housing the hot water cylinder.

Occupying the second floor is an impressive principal bedroom, a bright and spacious double room with exposed beams, extensive built-in storage, useful eaves storage, and a large skylight window. A useful washroom with WC and basin serves this floor.

The property benefits from an electric heating system installed in 2011, designed to operate in a similar manner to a traditional wet central heating system. Double glazed windows were installed in 2013, while a small loft space provides limited storage.

Externally, the cottage benefits from a detached garden, located just around the corner behind the garage. This area provides a delightful private retreat, featuring a combination of a paved seating areas alongside wild planting and established beds. There is also a useful shed and log store.

The former garage has been thoughtfully converted and insulated by the current owners, now providing an excellent additional space with power, replastered walls, double glazed windows and an EV charging point. The property also benefits from allocated parking.

Wootton itself is renowned for its exceptional village atmosphere, and community feel. There is a thriving community shop, a highly regarded pub with rosette-awarded dining, regular comedy nights and talks, a popular community-run Bridge Bar every Friday evening and excellent access to beautiful countryside walks, including routes to nearby Blenheim Palace.

This delightful period home presents a rare opportunity to acquire a character-filled cottage in one of Oxfordshire's most desirable villages.
