Summary - Willow Cottage, Mill Lane, Alvescot, BAMPTON OX18 2QJ
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Large garden, studio and generous parking in a quiet village lane.
Three-bedroom Victorian stone cottage with period features
Willow Cottage is a stone-built Victorian semi detached cottage set at the head of a private no-through lane in Alvescot. The house offers traditional character throughout — exposed beams, stone fireplace with wood-burning stove, built-in cabinetry and large windows — and sits on a generous plot with lawns, mature hedging and a gravel driveway providing ample off-street parking. A detached timber studio, served by the house boiler, provides two offices, storage and mezzanine space ideal for home working or hobbies.
Practical essentials are in place: oil-fired central heating to radiators, mains electricity, and private water and drainage. The property is offered freehold and chain free with vacant possession. Local amenities include a primary school, pub, playing field and tennis court; Burford secondary school is within easy reach, making the cottage well suited to family life in a prosperous rural village.
There are clear improvement points to note. The EPC is band E (46) and the stone walls are understood to be uninsulated, so energy efficiency and running costs could be improved. The property has a single family bathroom, and some elements (double glazing install dates unknown, oil fuel) reflect the house’s age and may need updating. Buyers seeking a ready-to-move-in modern energy profile should factor refurbishment work into plans and budgets.
In short, this is a characterful village cottage with a large garden, good parking and a useful detached studio, offering strong scope for sympathetic updating to improve comfort and efficiency while retaining period charm.
