Oak Cottage is a rare, substantial village home combining historic character with generous, flexible living across four floors. Formerly a coaching inn and public house, the house retains authentic period features — exposed beams, fireplaces and vaulted cellar spaces — while offering a large, modern open-plan kitchen/living hub and well-presented accommodation throughout.
The property extends to approximately 3,262 sq ft and includes four good-sized bedrooms and three bathrooms, making it well suited to a growing family or buyers wanting generous entertaining space. The lower-ground level provides atmospheric additional reception space (former cellar/dining), and a small garage/store plus private driveway offer practical parking in the village centre.
Outside, the mature, secluded rear garden with rear access is a strong selling point for outdoor entertaining and family life. The village location provides an attractive rural community, outstanding primary schooling nearby and straightforward access to Banbury and Brackley for wider services and rail links.
Important practical points: the house is stone-built and predates 1900, with traditional stone walls that appear uninsulated (assumed). The EPC is D and council tax banding is high (expensive); buyers should budget for ongoing running costs and possible energy-efficiency upgrades. The property is presented well but, as with older stone buildings, purchasers may wish to survey for maintenance and retrofit requirements.
