Summary - CURLEW COTTAGE FENCOTT KIDLINGTON OX5 2RD
2 bed 1 bath Cottage
Cosy, characterful home near Oxford with parking and good broadband.
Two-bedroom character stone cottage with private courtyard garden
A compact two-bedroom stone cottage in the peaceful village of Fencott, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking countryside living with strong transport links. The house retains period character and natural light in a cosy through lounge, with a practical kitchen/diner and a private courtyard garden for low-maintenance outdoor space. Two allocated off-street parking spaces are included — a rare convenience in village locations.
Practical details suit a buyer prepared to make modest updates: the property uses electric storage heating and walls are assumed uninsulated, so energy costs may be higher than modern homes. Double glazing was fitted post-2002, and council tax and the small resident-run service charge (£300/year) are affordable. There is a medium flood risk in the area that should be checked with insurers and surveyors.
At about 613 sq ft on a small plot, the cottage is best for those wanting a manageable home rather than extensive gardens or large rooms. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support working from home, while local schools and nearby towns (Kidlington, Oxford, Bicester) add convenience. The property offers genuine village charm with scope to improve energy efficiency and personalise interiors.
