Set on a mature 0.74-acre plot on the edge of Leafield, this late-19th century stone house and self-contained annexe deliver classic Cotswold character, wide countryside views and substantial outdoor space. The main house has generous rooms — including a triple-aspect drawing room with open fireplace, conservatory and a breakfast kitchen with Aga — alongside practical boot, laundry and cloakroom facilities. Solar cells and gas central heating help reduce running costs; broadband and mobile signals are strong for a rural location.
Upstairs offers five bedrooms, separate bath and shower rooms and an upstairs study. The layout, accessed by two staircases, presents clear potential for reconfiguration or modernisation to suit contemporary family life. The detached two-bedroom annexe currently provides rental income and sits discreetly within the grounds; a large garage and several stone/timber outbuildings add useful storage and workshop space.
This property will particularly suit families seeking countryside lifestyle, buyers wanting an onsite annexe for relatives or income, and purchasers interested in further improvement or possible subdivision subject to consents. Important practical points: some elements will benefit from updating (kitchen/bathrooms and general redecoration), exterior stone walls are assumed to have no insulation, double glazing install date is unknown and the seller has not applied for any planning to create a separate dwelling (no consent confirmed). Council tax is high and EPCs are currently C for both house and cottage.
The house’s rural setting in the Cotswolds AONB, large gardens with orchard and productive kitchen garden, and proven privacy make this a rare country opportunity — but buyers should budget for planned refurbishment and any planning process if pursuing changes or separate dwelling status.
