The Property - Sold with no onward chain
A charming three-bedroom Grade II Listed cottage, situated in a lovely position on The Slade in Charlbury. The property combines the character and charm expected of a period Cotswold cottage, including exposed beams and stonework, with a number of modern improvements made by the current owner. There is also scope for further updating and modernisation in parts of the property, allowing a new owner to put their own stamp on it.
From the pretty front garden, a door opens into the entrance hall, where exposed beams and Cotswold stone immediately set the tone. There is useful space for hanging coats and, directly ahead, a downstairs cloakroom.
To the left of the hall is the more recently modernised side of the cottage. The kitchen has tiled flooring and is fitted with a Neff oven and gas hob, with space and plumbing for a washing machine and dishwasher, as well as space for a fridge freezer. A particularly attractive floor-to-ceiling window looks through into the adjoining living space, bringing plenty of natural light into the room.
Beyond the kitchen is a wonderful open-plan dining and sitting room, with a vaulted ceiling, underfloor heating and double doors opening directly onto the rear garden. A spiral staircase rises from here to one of the bedrooms, which is a good-sized double with built-in storage and its own ensuite shower room.
To the right of the entrance hall is the older part of the cottage, where a cosy sitting room/snug provides a lovely second reception space. There is a log-burning stove, exposed character features and a door leading to the first floor.
On the first floor is a double bedroom with built-in wardrobe, together with the family bathroom, which has a shower over the bath. From the landing, a further staircase leads directly into the third bedroom, a charming room with exposed stonework and beams.
Outside, the rear garden is a particular feature of the property. Long and relatively narrow, it has been thoughtfully planted and offers a succession of different areas to enjoy. Immediately outside the house is a small patio, with side access leading through to the front. A pretty pathway winds its way through the garden, bordered by mature planting, fruit trees and established borders, with areas of lawn, further seating terraces and a charming stone seat built into the garden wall. There are also useful sheds and additional patio areas towards the far end of the garden.
To the front, the property has a delightful cottage garden with established planting and off-street parking.
Blenheim Cottage offers a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful Grade II Listed home in Charlbury, with a mixture of beautifully preserved period features, modern improvements and scope for further enhancement according to individual taste.
