Set on a quiet lane close to the village green of Barford St. Michael, this stone-fronted terraced cottage blends period charm with straightforward, flexible accommodation. The house offers an open-plan sitting/dining area with a stone fireplace and fitted stove, double-glazed windows, and French doors that open onto a southwest-facing garden with fruit trees and lawn. A single garage in a nearby block provides off-street parking.
The accommodation includes three bedrooms (two doubles and a single/study) and a bathroom with a separate WC. Practical features include double glazing and an externally sited oil boiler, though most buyers should note the property will benefit from updating throughout. The EPC is band D and council tax band C. There is no upward chain, which can simplify timescales for a buyer ready to renovate.
This home suits a small family or professionals seeking village life between Banbury and Chipping Norton who are happy to invest in modernisation. The location offers village amenities — pub, church, hall and community groups — good state and independent school options nearby, and reasonable road and rail links to the wider area. Expect to carry out cosmetic and likely some systems updates to bring the house fully up to contemporary standards.
