3 Baldwins Stables is a charming two-double-bedroom barn conversion set in a quiet courtyard in Upper Tysoe. The cottage keeps much of its period character — exposed painted timbers, a stone-surround open fireplace and traditional brick and timber elevations — while offering well-proportioned living spaces across two floors. The south‑/west‑facing landscaped garden is private and practical, with a paved patio, circular lawn and timber shed.
The accommodation suits someone seeking a low‑maintenance countryside home or a downsizer wanting village life with good local facilities. Practical features include off‑street parking in the gravelled courtyard, a single adjoining carport, and an oil‑fired boiler supplying central heating and hot water. The property is offered freehold and lies within easy reach of the M40 and Banbury station for broader commuting options.
Buyers should be aware of a few material points: the current EPC rating is E (52) with potential to improve, heating is oil‑fired (tank on site), and the plot and garden are modest in size. The cottage has period proportions and some low ceilings in places, which may feel cosy rather than expansive. There is a single family bathroom and limited storage, although bedrooms include built‑in wardrobes.
Overall this is a well‑presented village cottage that combines rustic character with practical outdoor space and parking — a straightforward choice for downsizers or those seeking a traditional village home within commuting distance of larger towns.
