Grade II listed 1600s stone cottage with original beams and oak doors
Ashdown House is a substantial Grade II listed stone cottage dating from the 1600s, arranged over three floors with a large main bedroom and en‑suite. Period features — exposed oak beams, original French oak doors and two stone fireplaces including an inglenook — combine with a contemporary Shaker kitchen and generous utility. The house sits on a large plot in Harbury with a mature, well‑planted rear garden and a Himalayan stone patio and gazebo for outdoor living.
Practical family advantages are clear: a wide gated driveway with space for several cars plus separate gravelled parking for a boat or caravan, and a large double garage with power and overhead storage. Living spaces are flexible and generously proportioned, with a characterful lounge and dining room ideal for gatherings, a sizable kitchen/breakfast area and useful ground‑floor cloakroom/utility. Gas central heating and modern kitchen appliances reduce immediate upgrade needs inside.
Buyers should note the property’s listed status. Grade II listing protects historic fabric and will complicate alterations and maintenance — repairs and any extensions will require listed‑building consents and specialist contractors. Council Tax band is high, and the local area records higher crime levels than average; purchasers may wish to review security and insurance costs. Overall, the house suits buyers seeking a character family home with substantial parking, garaging and garden, willing to accept the constraints and running costs of a historic property.
