Summary - ASHDOWN COTTAGE, FARINGDON, HINTON WALDRIST SN7 8RR
4 bed 4 bath Cottage
Spacious family home with period charm and countryside views.
Grade II listed thatched cottage with historic character and exposed beams
Ashdown Cottage is a picturesque Grade II listed thatched home set in a peaceful Oxfordshire village, combining historic character with sympathetic contemporary additions. The flexible layout offers four potential bedrooms and four bathrooms, arranged over multiple levels to suit family life and guests. The main reception features a dramatic inglenook fireplace and exposed beams, while a large, well-equipped kitchen and an oak-framed vaulted garden room provide generous everyday living space.
Accommodation links over the twin open-bay garage include a hobbies room and additional bathroom, useful for a home gym, studio or guest suite. Two first-floor bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms and the principal suite includes a study/dressing area, giving useful separation for working parents and teenagers. Outside, mature gardens, far-reaching views towards The Ridgeway and ample parking support active family living and entertaining.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the property is Freehold with mains services connected and no recent flooding. However, Grade II listing means alterations and repairs will be subject to listed-building consent; the thatched roof and older fabric will require specialist maintenance. Council Tax is band F, reflecting running costs for a large period home. Overall, this is an attractive country family house for buyers seeking character, space and rural privacy, who understand the responsibilities of owning a historic property.
