Packhorse Cottage is an early 17th-century stone home that balances period character with practical family living. The ground-floor orangery floods the open-plan kitchen and dining area with light, creating an inviting social hub. A cosy sitting room with a feature fireplace and wood burner adds warmth and charm, while three bedrooms upstairs suit children, guests or a home office.
Outside, a mature, wrap-around garden and a dedicated grill cabin provide private space for outdoor entertaining. The paved driveway accommodates two vehicles and the village location places everyday amenities, a good primary school and countryside walking close to hand. Transport links to Abingdon, Didcot Parkway and the A34 make commuting straightforward.
There are some practical points to note: the Energy Performance Certificate is a D, and parts of the house may benefit from updating to improve efficiency. Although ultrafast broadband coverage is available in the area, on-property speeds are reported as slow; buyers should confirm current service with providers. As with many older homes, hidden maintenance and modernization costs can arise, and any pre-1999 work may contain low levels of asbestos that should be managed if disturbed.
For buyers seeking a characterful cottage with light-filled living spaces and a private garden in a well-connected village, Packhorse Cottage offers immediate charm and clear potential to personalise and improve over time.
