Set on the northern edge of Weston-on-the-Green, this detached Grade II listed cottage combines genuine period character with practical outdoor space. Exposed stone walls, timber beams and a wood-burning stove create an authentic, cosy interior; the garden, paved terrace and gravel driveway provide easy low-maintenance outdoor living and parking for multiple vehicles.
The property is arranged over two floors with a sitting room, separate dining room and kitchen/breakfast room, plus two bedrooms and a fitted bathroom. Double glazing was installed after 2002 and broadband is fast, making the house comfortable for modern living. Planning permission has been granted to convert the detached outbuilding into an office and WC (application 25/00582/F), adding useful workspace or ancillary accommodation.
Important practical points: the building is listed, which will restrict alterations and can add cost and complexity to renovations. Walls are likely uninsulated (original sandstone/limestone construction) and heating is via electric storage heaters, so running costs and comfort may need attention. Rooms are generally modest in size with standard to lower ceiling heights; there is also a noted potential for damp in parts, which should be inspected.
This cottage will suit buyers who value historic character, a strong village location and straightforward outdoor space — either as a downsizer seeking a compact, comfortable home near Oxford, or as someone wanting a character holiday let or weekend retreat. The already-approved outbuilding conversion and off-street parking add clear practical value, but any purchaser should budget for listed-property constraints and possible energy-performance upgrades.
