Rare listed home with authentic period features in a picturesque Oxfordshire village.
Grade II* listed cottage, built c.1490, strong historic character
This Grade II* stone cottage, dating from c.1490, is a rare historic home that combines sizeable living space with authentic Tudor features. Expect chamfered and carved beams, stone stairs, leaded windows, original fireplace lintels and the remains of the village bread oven — all presented within about 1,316 sq ft of accommodation across multiple floors.
The house offers three bedrooms (the top-floor bedroom is vaulted), two bathrooms, separate living and dining rooms, and a later kitchen extension. A substantial stone outbuilding with mains power provides a useful home office or studio. The private, thoughtfully landscaped garden, cobbled paths and original well create an attractive exterior setting in a very pretty village.
Practical points to note: the property is Grade II* listed, which will restrict alterations and may complicate maintenance or modernisation. Rooms and ceilings are characterfully compact in places and the plot is small. Council tax is above average for the area. Broadband is reported as fast and there is no flood risk.
This cottage will suit buyers seeking an authentic, historically significant home in a thriving village close to commuter links — those who value original fabric and are comfortable with listed-building responsibilities. It presents immediate charm and comfortable living, plus potential for sensitive enhancement subject to listed-building consents.
