Tucked on The Green in Leafield, The Lancut is a Grade II listed Cotswold stone cottage combining period character with a rare, long private garden. The house offers three bedrooms, two reception rooms, a garden room and a substantial circa 250ft south‑east facing walled garden — an exceptional outside asset for villagers who value outdoor space and privacy.
Internally the cottage feels traditionally cosy: oak beams, a vaulted master bedroom, exposed stone and a sitting room with a wood‑burning stove. Practical spaces include a modern fitted kitchen, useful built‑in storage and a ground‑floor cloakroom. Off‑street parking and a peaceful village location add everyday convenience while still being within reasonable reach of Burford, Witney and commuting rail links.
Buyers should note the property’s listed status. That protects its historic features but will restrict alterations and may complicate planning or upgrade works (for example window replacement). Several windows are single glazed and ceilings are low in places, which may limit full modernisation or require specialist repairs. The house has one bathroom and a Band F council tax rating, important costs for prospective family purchasers.
No onward chain and the large plot provide immediate opportunity: enjoy the established garden and character as‑is, or invest carefully to improve energy performance and interior layout where permitted. This cottage will suit a buyer who values historic charm, generous outdoor space and village life, and who is prepared for the responsibilities that come with listed ownership.
