Manor Farm Cottages is a spacious four-double-bedroom period home set on a large plot in quiet Baulking, offered with no onward chain. The house sits fronting the village green and backs directly onto paddocks, giving a strong sense of rural privacy and sweeping south-west facing gardens. Interiors retain character with exposed beams, a log burner and generous reception rooms; the kitchen/dining space extends to 24ft and flows to utility and versatile ground-floor rooms.
The plot includes multiple outbuildings with some services connected, a gravelled driveway with gated off-street parking and scope to create ancillary accommodation or a dedicated home office (subject to necessary permissions). There are two lofts — one with a window — which, like the neighbouring property, may offer loft-conversion potential STPP. For families, the property is well placed for local primary and secondary schools and has good road links to the A420 and mainline rail connections beyond Faringdon.
Buyers should note this is an older, pre-1900 stone-built house with presumed uninsulated granite walls and oil-fired central heating. Upgrades to insulation, heating and possibly glazing may be desirable to improve energy efficiency and running costs. Planning permissions will be required for any loft conversion or change of use of outbuildings. Council tax is above average, and the property is a hamlet location, so some services are rural rather than urban.
Overall this is a rare countryside family home offering immediate liveability combined with clear scope for sympathetic improvement and enhancement of accommodation, ideal for buyers seeking space, character and long-term potential in an affluent rural setting.
