Rose Cottage is an unlisted, stone-built period house recently and thoughtfully renovated to combine traditional character with contemporary living. The heart of the home is a large, open-plan kitchen/breakfast room with hand-built units, a substantial island, AGA, stone floors and a lantern skylight that opens onto a Mediterranean-style terrace ideal for entertaining.
The ground floor offers two principal reception rooms — a sitting room with inglenook and wood burner and a well-proportioned dining room with open brick fireplace — plus a sunken TV room beneath a vaulted stone ceiling, utility room and cloakroom. Upstairs the accommodation includes five bedrooms across two upper floors: a main bedroom with en-suite and garden access, further doubles and a modern family bathroom; top-floor rooms enjoy views over Hook Norton.
Outside there is generous off-street parking, an attached garage and an attractive, landscaped garden with lawns and paved terraces. The property sits in a sought-after village location close to local shops, pubs, primary school and good road and rail links to Banbury and Charlbury. Recent renovation works include full rewire, new heating system, and hardwood double glazing installed about two years ago.
Notable practical points: the house is oil-heated via boiler and radiators, has stone walls assumed to lack modern cavity insulation, and sits in a medium flood-risk area. Council tax is described as expensive. These factors are important to budget for ongoing running and insurance costs despite the property's strong finish and character.
