Church Enstone, Chipping Norton, OX7

Tucked away in the Oxfordshire village of Church Enstone, Old Monts is a charming three-bedroom cottage with a wonderful sense of warmth and character.

The accommodation unfolds naturally across three floors. On the ground floor, a welcoming dining room features a wood-burning stove, while the adjoining sitting room provides a comfortable space for relaxing. A bright garden room offers a quieter setting from which to enjoy the garden. Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms and a family bathroom, with a third bedroom occupying the second floor. This versatile arrangement lends itself equally well to family life, visiting guests or weekends in the country.

Outside, the property benefits from a delightful mature garden, in addition to a private driveway and garage, offering useful parking and storage rarely found with a village cottage.

Active planning permission and listed building consent have been granted for a thoughtfully designed scheme to enhance and extend the existing property. The proposals include a single-storey rear extension, additional accommodation above the existing garage, a rear dormer and a new entrance canopy, together with a range of external and landscaping improvements, providing an exciting opportunity to further develop the cottage while retaining its period character.

Church Enstone is an attractive village on the edge of the Cotswolds, surrounded by rolling countryside and a network of footpaths and bridleways. The village is home to the historic Church of St Kenelm and 14th-century Tithe Barn, with the neighbouring village of Enstone providing a shop, post office and primary school. The Crown in Church Enstone, The Fox in nearby Middle Barton and Quince & Clover in Great Tew provide a selection of well-regarded places to eat and gather locally.

The property is also exceptionally well placed for some of the Cotswolds’ most sought-after destinations, with Soho Farmhouse, Daylesford Organic Farm Shop and Estelle Manor all within easy reach. Chipping Norton is approximately 5 miles away and offers a wider range of shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities, while Oxford and the surrounding market towns are also readily accessible. Charlbury station provides direct services to Oxford and London Paddington, with further rail connections available from Oxford Parkway and Bicester.

With its period charm, generous accommodation, active planning consent and enviable village position, Old Monts offers a rare opportunity to create a beautiful country home in one of Oxfordshire’s most desirable settings.
