Summary - SQUIRREL COTTAGE SHOTTESWELL BANBURY OX17 1HU
Grade II listed thatched cottage with extensive character features
Set in a sought-after north Oxfordshire village, this Grade II thatched cottage combines original character with sympathetic modernisation. The layout includes three double bedrooms, separate living and dining rooms, a sizable farmhouse-style kitchen, utility room and a study — versatile space for family life or home working. The large enclosed rear garden faces open village views and offers scope for play, planting and outdoor living.
Important practical points are clear: the property is Grade II listed which may restrict alterations, and the thatched roof requires an overhaul (owners’ quote around £15,000). Parking is on-street with a roadside pull-in nearby (not part of the title), broadband speeds are slow and there is a single family bathroom — factors to consider for modern family needs.
For buyers seeking village life close to Banbury (c.4 miles) and commuter rail links, this home balances period charm with usable living space. The utility room, study and generous room sizes provide practical benefits, while the large plot and summerhouse add lifestyle and future potential. Note a buyers’ purchase fee of £300 (inc. VAT) applies on offer acceptance.
