This striking former village pub has been converted into an expansive family home that marries Cotswold character with practical living. Set on the edge of Finstock and backing onto open countryside, the property delivers glorious, long-reaching views from many rooms and retains original features such as flagstones, exposed beams and an inglenook fireplace.
The main house extends across three floors with over 2,800 sq ft of accommodation: entrance hall, sitting room, family/dining room, kitchen with pantry, cellar access and multiple bedrooms including a principal suite with dressing area and window-framed roll-top bath. A detached, newly converted one-bedroom annexe—formerly the shop and post office—offers self-contained accommodation for guests, multigenerational living or potential holiday-let income, with its own entrance and optional private garden.
Practical strengths include fast ultrafast broadband, a very low-crime village setting, and convenient access to Charlbury (about three miles) with rail links to Oxford and London. Nearby schooling is strong, including an Outstanding village primary, making this appealing to families. Buyers should note the property is Freehold and in Council Tax Band G, so ongoing tax costs are relatively high.
The house is presented with abundant period charm but offers scope to adapt or update certain areas to personal taste. For those seeking a distinctive family home with separate annexe, generous space and exceptional countryside outlook, this property offers a rare combination of character, flexibility and connectivity.
