An evocative 17th-century thatched cottage, sympathetically extended and newly renovated, positioned on a very large plot backing directly onto the River Thames. The house combines considerable period character — inglenook and open fireplaces, exposed beams and wooden floors — with updated bathrooms, a replaced thatch (2015) and two modern kitchens, lending flexibility for family living or multigenerational use.
Accommodation spans two principal staircases and around 2,902 sqft: five bedrooms, three reception rooms and three bathrooms provide generous space for home working, play and entertaining. Double doors and French doors open the principal reception rooms onto landscaped lawns and planted borders, creating easy indoor–outdoor flow to the riverside garden. Off-street parking and an integral garage add practical everyday convenience.
Important practical points: the property sits in a high flood-risk zone and lies within a conservation area, which will affect future alterations and insurance. The house historically comprised two cottages with separate gas and electric supplies, so services and billing arrangements should be checked. Council tax is described as quite expensive.
Set in sought-after Iffley Village, the location is well placed for Oxford’s schools, city centre and transport links. The towpath to central Oxford, nearby village amenities, and the attractive local schools make this a rare riverside family home offering immediate move-in comfort with clear scope to personalise and adapt in line with conservation constraints.
