The Property

The Cottage is an enchanting detached stone-built home which successfully combines the warmth and individuality of a period property with a beautifully considered, high-quality refurbishment.

Its attractive natural stone elevations, traditional tiled roof and cottage-style windows create an immediately appealing first impression. Internally, exposed timbers, latched doors and carefully chosen finishes preserve the character of the building, while the contemporary kitchen, modern fittings and tasteful decorative scheme ensure the accommodation is perfectly suited to present-day living.

The heart of the home is the wonderfully inviting kitchen and dining area. Refitted to an excellent standard, the kitchen features elegant cabinetry, contrasting work surfaces, a ceramic sink and integrated appliances. The open arrangement provides space for dining and flows naturally into the adjoining sitting area, creating an especially sociable and welcoming living space.

Exposed beams and structural timbers provide a striking reminder of the cottage’s heritage, while the considered use of natural colours and textures gives the interior a relaxed and cohesive feel. The sitting area offers an intimate place in which to unwind, with cottage windows drawing in natural light and adding to the room’s undeniable charm.

The first floor provides two bedrooms, each continuing the property’s balance of traditional character and understated contemporary styling, together with a beautifully appointed bathroom.

Outside

To the rear is a private and enclosed garden, providing a secluded outdoor space for dining, entertaining and relaxation. Areas of natural stone paving offer space for outdoor furniture, while the lawn, mature boundaries and stone walling create an attractive cottage-garden setting.

The property enjoys a particularly picturesque position close to the village church, with the surrounding period buildings contributing to its quintessential Oxfordshire village atmosphere.
