Summary - THE THATCHED COTTAGE NORTH STREET ASTON BAMPTON OX18 2DJ
5 bed 5 bath Detached
No chain, flexible layout and generous gated plot in a sought-after village.
Five double bedrooms and five bathrooms across house and annexe
A rare combination of historic charm and contemporary convenience, this substantial five-bedroom home sits in a peaceful village setting. The heart of the property is a Grade II listed thatched cottage dating from 1625, newly refreshed and retaining authentic features such as exposed beams, fireplaces, flagstone floors and a triple Aga. Adjoining is a modern two-bedroom annexe offering flexible accommodation or income potential, with bifold doors opening to the garden.
The generous plot includes lawned areas, gravel seating, space for a greenhouse and hot tub, two outbuildings, and a gated gravel driveway providing off-street parking for several cars. The house has gas central heating, double glazing and was comprehensively updated around 2000; planning permission for a separate studio has been approved (application 22/01781/HHD) though work has not started.
Important practical points: the property’s Grade II listed status and thatched roof will bring higher maintenance, insurance and consents for alterations, and may complicate future works. Council tax is expensive. The setting in a conservation area and the listing preserve historic character but limit structural changes. Broadband is fast, crime is very low and local schools are well regarded, making the location appealing for families seeking village life with good commuter links.
Offered with no onward chain, the house will suit buyers wanting a distinctive family home with immediate flexible living (including separate annexe), a tranquil garden and development upside from the approved studio. Buyers should be comfortable managing a listed thatch property and the responsibilities that brings.
