Summary - Pear Tree Cottage, Lower End, Shutford OX15 6PA
3.65 acres of paddock land with countryside views
Pear Tree Cottage is a characterful late-19th-century stone cottage set on the edge of a sought-after village, offering immediate rural charm and substantial outdoor space. The house retains period features and comfortable living rooms while sitting within 3.65 acres of paddock, ideal for small-scale equestrian use, hobby farming or simply enjoying wide countryside views. Four useful outbuildings and a detached garage provide storage, workshop or conversion potential (subject to consent).
The layout provides three bedrooms and one bathroom across a deceptively generous 3,661 sq ft overall footprint including outbuildings and former agricultural spaces. Practical strengths include off-road parking, a detached garage and fast broadband for a rural location. Local primary schools are rated Good and independent senior schools are within reasonable reach, making the property suitable for families seeking a rural lifestyle.
Buyers should note material facts plainly: heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators, and the stone walls are recorded as having no insulation (assumed), so energy performance will be lower than modern builds and running costs may be higher. There is a single bathroom and some internal rooms have relatively low ceilings, which may limit reconfiguration or upstairs comfort without renovation.
This is a freehold semi-detached cottage that will suit someone looking for a peaceful rural home with substantial land and scope to improve energy efficiency and internal layout. The property is presented as a solid, characterful base with practical outbuildings; any plans to modernise heating, add insulation or extend should factor in the age and construction of the building and any necessary consents.
