Tucked away on a quiet lane in the centre of Charlbury, this sympathetically restored two-bedroom stone cottage blends period charm with practical living. The cosy reception room, complete with a wood-burning stove and sash window, creates an inviting focal point for everyday life. The kitchen/dining room at the rear offers a convivial space for family meals and informal entertaining.
Arranged over three levels, the house provides flexible accommodation: a ground-floor reception, first-floor principal bedroom and bathroom with a handy landing that could serve as a small home office, and a whole second floor given over to the generous second double bedroom. Original features such as exposed beams and a feature fireplace have been retained to preserve character and atmosphere.
Outside, a pretty, low-maintenance courtyard garden and a separate storage building add convenience; there is gated rear access and neighbouring access rights across the courtyard. Parking is on-street. Practical details: freehold tenure, EPC grade E, mains gas central heating to radiators and a single bathroom. The property is in the heart of a well-served Cotswold town with shops, pubs, a good primary school and a railway station with routes to Oxford and London.
This home suits buyers seeking a character-filled, centrally located cottage with modest outdoor space and commuter links. Note the property is a historic build (pre-1900) with sandstone walls assumed to have no insulation and an EPC of E, so buyers wanting modern energy efficiency should allow for possible upgrading works.
