A rare Grade II listed thatched cottage on the north‑western edge of Oxford, set within wholly private 0.31‑acre gardens. The house blends preserved period character — inglenook fireplace, exposed beams and artisan windows — with a stylish, comfortable interior and generous proportions (c.2,383 sq ft).
The ground floor offers four reception rooms including a large drawing room with inglenook fireplace and a social kitchen that opens onto well‑planted walled garden 'rooms'. Upstairs are three atmospheric bedrooms and two bath/shower rooms, the principal offering a beautifully detailed vaulted space. A detached double garage and wide driveway provide secure parking.
Practical considerations are clear: the property’s listed status will restrict alterations and can complicate maintenance; the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated and council tax is described as quite expensive. The thatch has been recently renewed, but thatched roofs require specialist upkeep and insurance considerations.
Well placed for commuters and families, the house is about 3.7 miles from Oxford city centre, close to Oxford Parkway and local shops. It suits buyers seeking a substantial, characterful family home within easy reach of top schools and city amenities, who are comfortable with listed‑building ownership responsibilities.
