Summary - ROSE COTTAGE, 5, CHURCH ROAD OX33 1RU
4 bed 2 bath Cottage
South-east garden, bi-fold family room and gated parking — spacious village living close to Oxford.
Detached four-bedroom cottage, approx 1,327 sq ft
A handsome four-bedroom character cottage in Horspath, set just over 4 miles from Oxford with easy access to the ring road and M40. The property pairs original charm — exposed beams and a wood-burning stove — with contemporary family living: a bright south-east facing family room with bi-fold doors, a kitchen/breakfast room, utility and sensible circulation across two storeys. The generous internal area (approx. 1,327 sq ft) and a decent private garden provide comfortable indoor-outdoor family space and useful outbuilding storage.
Practical strengths include gated off-street parking, mains gas central heating, double glazing installed post-2002 and freehold tenure. The village offers good primary schools, local pubs, community amenities and low crime in a very affluent, largely rural professional area — attractive for families wanting village life with quick city access.
Buyers should note the property is a period build (pre-1900) with solid brick walls assumed to lack modern cavity insulation; upgrading wall insulation would improve comfort and running costs. EPC rating is D and council tax band E, so there are ongoing energy and tax considerations. Overall this is a spacious, characterful family home with clear scope for energy upgrades and cosmetic updating to personalise.
