Two double bedrooms with original doors and exposed beams
A cosy two-bedroom Cotswold cottage blending period character with recent upgrades, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking village life. The home retains exposed beams, original doors and a stone façade, while benefitting from a modern kitchen (refitted c.2022) and a bathroom updated in 2020. A certified log burner was installed in 2022, creating a warm living room focal point.
Practical improvements include double glazing, loft insulation for storage, travertine and limestone flooring, and fast broadband for working from home. The property sits down a private lane with one allocated parking space and an additional rented space nearby. A small front garden and stone shed provide outdoor space with scope to enclose if desired.
Buyers should note a few ongoing responsibilities: the cottage shares a septic tank (approximately £60 every two years) and contributes to shared lane maintenance. The house’s solid stone walls are assumed to lack cavity insulation and the main heating is electric storage heaters, so heating costs can be higher than gas alternatives. The plot is small and the property is mid-terrace, which limits extension potential.
Overall this newly renovated period cottage offers character, ready-to-move-in accommodation and village convenience close to Carterton and Witney. It will suit a buyer wanting a manageable, characterful home with sensible running-cost considerations and modest outdoor space.
