Modern bathroom and mains gas central heating throughout
Wood-burning stove and stone fireplace for ambience
Two gardens: small front lawn and south-facing rear garden

Rose Cottage is a compact, characterful Cotswold stone cottage ideal for someone looking to downsize without losing charm. Exposed beams, original stonework and a wood-burning stove create an immediately cosy living space, while a modern bathroom and gas central heating provide everyday comfort.
The property makes efficient use of its 506 sq ft with an open-plan living area and a peaceful bedroom retreat. Outside there are two gardens — a small front lawn and a south-facing rear garden — plus a useful outbuilding currently used as a utility and store room.
Practical points are clear: the house is an unlisted period property built before 1900 with traditional stone walls (likely little or no insulation), mains gas heating and freehold tenure. The cottage sits in a popular Cotswold village with fast broadband, very low crime and good nearby amenities and schools, while Witney and rail links at Charlbury/Finstock are within easy driving distance.
Consider that the layout is small (one bedroom, approx 506 sq ft) and original stone walls may mean higher heating costs unless improved insulation is fitted. The house is best suited to someone seeking a low-maintenance, characterful home rather than extensive living space.
