An exceptionally rare, Grade II listed village house located a short stroll from Botley Square. The property extends to approximately 2,305 sq ft across multiple floors, retaining strong Tudor character — exposed timber beams, mullioned windows and a triple‑aspect sitting room with a brick fireplace and log burner. The current presentation blends sympathetic modern upgrades (notably a well‑appointed open‑plan kitchen/breakfast room) with the home’s original period features.
The house offers four bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a dramatic second‑floor principal room with very large dimensions. Three elegant reception rooms provide flexible space for family living or entertaining. Outside, a private shingled driveway accommodates multiple vehicles and the landscaped rear garden is secluded and south‑facing, with a patio ideal for alfresco dining.
Important practical points: the building is Grade II listed, which restricts alterations and can increase maintenance costs and permissions complexity. The solid brick walls are assumed to be uninsulated, so buyers should budget for potential energy‑efficiency works. Council tax is described as quite expensive. Broadband and mobile coverage are excellent, and the property sits in a very low crime, very affluent area with good local schools and transport links.
This house will suit buyers seeking substantial period character in a village setting — families who value space and privacy, or purchasers looking for a distinctive historic home. Those planning major reconfiguration or extension should factor in the listed status and the likely additional expense of sensitive conservation work.
