Grade II listed 18th-century ironstone cottage with original features
Clematis Cottage is a Grade II listed 18th-century ironstone cottage on Adderbury High Street, offering abundant period character and surprisingly generous living space (about 1,539 sq ft). Wide flagstone hallway, exposed timbers and original fireplaces give the house strong historic charm, while two reception rooms, a usable cellar and a downstairs wet room add everyday practicality. The west-facing walled garden is a private suntrap, ideal for relaxed outdoor dining and low-maintenance planting.
The accommodation includes two good double bedrooms, a third room currently used as a dressing room with fitted wardrobes, and a family bathroom featuring a roll-top bath. The fitted kitchen with larder, cellar with natural light and convenient utility area make the layout flexible for families, home workers or those seeking a characterful village home.
Buyers should note the property’s listed status: repairs, alterations or extensions will be subject to listed-building constraints and may incur specialist costs. The cottage appears to need internal modernisation in places; services and appliances have not been tested. The plot is modest with limited outdoor space and no on-site parking mentioned, typical of village high-street cottages.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, mains gas central heating, very low local crime and very fast reported broadband speeds. The house sits in an active village with strong amenities, good primary and secondary schooling options nearby, and easy road and rail links to Banbury and Oxford — a characterful home in a desirable Oxfordshire village but one that will suit buyers comfortable with listed-property ownership and some updating work.
