Grade II listed period cottage with extensive historic character
Extremely large interior: approx. 2,852 sq ft across three floors
Needs complete modernisation throughout; full renovation required
Only one bathroom for four bedrooms; plumbing/upgrades needed
Extensive outbuildings and garage with barn conversion potential
Private water source — useful but may require maintenance/modern testing
Pleasant enclosed garden and a decent plot; rural, low-crime village setting
Listed status will cause planning and restoration restrictions and added costs
A rare Grade II listed cottage offering enormous floor space across three storeys, this property is a substantial renovation project for those seeking a historic country home with scope to create a striking residence. The house sits in a prosperous, low-crime village setting between Banbury and Chipping Norton, with good mobile signal, fast broadband and nearby schools and amenities.
Key strengths include wide accommodation (circa 2,852 sq ft), extensive outbuildings and garaging, a pleasant enclosed garden and the unusual advantage of a private water source. The site offers strong potential for a sympathetic restoration or a creative conversion of barns and outbuildings (subject to listed-building consent and planning).
Buyers should be clear this is a full modernisation project. The property requires complete renovation throughout, has only one bathroom for four bedrooms, and the historic, uninsulated stone walls will need careful upgrading within listed‑building constraints. Grade II listed status will complicate and add cost to works and may extend timelines.
This home will suit an experienced developer, investor or buyer comfortable with listed-building processes who wants to deliver a significant country house restoration. Its chain-free status, village location and generous plot make it a compelling long-term project for those prepared to invest time and capital.
