Set in one of Oxford’s most sought-after eastern villages, this two-bedroom Victorian cottage pairs period character with practical modern upgrades. The sitting room centres on a wood-burning stove, and double glazing (installed after 2002) helps retain warmth. A compact, well-equipped kitchen, utility space and a main bathroom complete the living accommodation across two storeys and a loft storage area.
Outside, a private courtyard-style garden and a substantial outbuilding provide genuine added value. The outbuilding has electricity and underfloor heating and has been used as a heated studio/office — ideal for remote working, creative use or extra storage. The property is chain free and sits under two miles from Headington, giving quick access to Oxford while retaining a semi-rural village feel with local shops, a pub and nearby Rectory Farm.
Important practical points are stated plainly: the overall internal size is small (approx. 575 sq ft) and the plot is modest, so the home suits buyers seeking a compact, characterful cottage rather than expansive living space. There is a covenant requiring that any rear extension must be approved by neighbouring owners (Wynburgh), which will affect extension plans. Images shown are from a prior tenancy.
Technically the house is well served — mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, low local crime, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. Constructed before 1900 with solid brick walls and internal insulation, the property has an EPC rating of C and affordable council tax, making it a practical, characterful choice for a first home or a downsizing couple wanting village life with easy access to Oxford.
