Hare Cottage is a rare, character-rich Grade II listed thatched cottage in the heart of Hook Norton, offered with a generous converted barn and sizable plot. The main cottage retains original features — flagstone floors, exposed beams, inglenook with wood-burning stove and oak floorboards — giving immediate period charm while providing comfortable, modern fixtures in the kitchen and shower room. The detached barn conversion adds flexible, self-contained space ideal for guests, home office or multi-generational living.
Externally the property benefits from substantial off-street parking for multiple vehicles, an integral garage in the barn, and a private rear garden with mature borders and an apple tree. The combination of historic cottage and versatile barn creates strong lifestyle appeal for families or buyers seeking separate accommodation close to Banbury, Chipping Norton and regional transport links.
Important practical points: the home’s Grade II listed status protects its character but brings restrictions on alterations and can complicate repairs or upgrades. The thatched roof and older construction mean higher ongoing maintenance and insurance considerations versus a modern property. Accommodation offers three bedrooms and a single main bathroom (plus en-suite in the barn), so families should assess bathroom provision against their needs.
In short, this is a distinctive village home that blends historic character with adaptable living space. It will suit buyers who value provenance, village community amenities and flexible accommodation, and who are comfortable with the responsibilities of owning a listed thatched property.
