Crowell Road, Kingston Blount, OX39

Property

A recently refurbished three-bedroom character cottage, situated in the desirable Oxfordshire village of Kingston Blount.

The house has a lovely balance of period character and practical everyday living, with bright accommodation and a surprisingly generous amount of space both inside and out.

To the front of the cottage is a large open-plan living and dining space, with an electric stove-style fire providing an attractive focal point. The room works particularly well as a sociable space for family life and entertaining, with plenty of flexibility in how the seating and dining areas are arranged.

To the rear, the kitchen has been refitted in a stylish manner, with marble worktops and an outlook across the garden. A useful hallway provides access to the garden and incorporates additional utility space, while a downstairs cloakroom adds further practicality.

Upstairs, the landing is particularly light and generous for a cottage of this style, with doors leading to three bedrooms and the family bathroom. There are two double bedrooms and a good-sized single, with built-in storage helping to make the accommodation feel particularly well considered.

The current owners have carried out a number of improvements in recent years, including new windows and doors throughout, a replacement boiler within the last five years, boarding to the loft and additional built-in storage both upstairs and down.

The result is a characterful home that retains a traditional feel while working particularly well for modern day-to-day life.

Outside

The gardens are more generous than might first be expected and have been thoughtfully arranged to provide a good balance of entertaining space and more productive garden areas.

To the front, there is off-road parking for two cars together with an attractive front garden.

To the rear, a sunny patio provides a natural place for outdoor dining and entertaining and enjoys sunlight through much of the day and into the early evening. Beyond this is a well-established garden with plenty of space to enjoy, together with a small kitchen garden that has been used for growing seasonal vegetables.

The overall outside space feels both practical and inviting, with enough room to entertain, garden and enjoy the setting.
