Farthynge Cottage is a charming Grade II listed thatched home dating from c.1650, set back from the lane behind electric gates and a long gravel drive. The main house combines period features — inglenook fireplaces, exposed beams and vaulted kitchen/dining — with roomy living spaces that suit family life and entertaining. A large, sheltered rear garden with fruit trees and open-field views extends the living space outdoors.
A self-contained two-bedroom annexe and garage add versatile living: ideal for dependent relatives, long-stay guests, home office use, or a potential income stream. Practical features include a substantial kitchen with range cooker, utility rooms, underfloor heating in the garage, and a large garden store with power and lighting.
Bear in mind the property’s listed status. Grade II listing protects historic fabric and will complicate alterations, extensions or re-roofing; thatched roofs and period finishes typically require specialised maintenance and higher repair costs. Council tax is described as quite expensive.
Located in peaceful Newington countryside with fast broadband and low crime, the cottage sits about 9 miles from Oxford and provides good road links (M40 about 11 minutes by car). The house will suit growing families wanting rural seclusion, multi-generational households, or buyers seeking a character home with income potential — provided they accept the responsibilities of a listed thatched property.
