Character home with garden, studio and excellent access to Oxford.
Detached converted former chapel with strong character
A former Methodist chapel converted into a charming two-bedroom detached home, set in Beckley’s conservation area and just three miles from Oxford. The ground floor offers an open-plan sitting and dining area centred on a wood-burning stove and exposed parquet flooring, while a vaulted galley kitchen and useful utility room support everyday family life.
Upstairs there is a comfortable double bedroom, a generous single bedroom and a recently refitted family bathroom with encaustic-style floor tiles and brick-bond glazed wall tiles. Outside, off-street parking lies to the front and a raised two-tiered garden to the rear provides a studio/summerhouse and elevated countryside views ideal for entertaining.
Practical details to note: the house uses electric storage heating, has secondary glazing and traditional solid stone walls likely without cavity insulation. Drainage is to a septic tank and there is no gas connection, so running costs and heating upgrades should be considered. The property’s character, conservation setting and proximity to good schools and local amenities make it particularly attractive to families seeking village life with rapid access to Oxford.
