This historic Grade II listed detached thatched cottage presents a unique opportunity for renovation in a desirable village setting, located just over nine miles from Oxford and only ten minutes from the M40. Nestled towards the back of its plot, the property offers picturesque views of open fields to the rear, enhancing its tranquil ambiance.
The interior showcases an abundance of original character, with exposed timber beams both inside and out. The property has been cleared by the current owner, preparing it for a new vision and refurbishment. A pre-application planning advice report from South Oxfordshire District Council is available, providing insight into potential development opportunities. Additionally, a full measured survey can be obtained to assist in your planning. For convenience during renovations, a static caravan is on-site for accommodation.
On the ground floor, the layout includes a welcoming hall, sitting room, kitchen/dining area, one bedroom, and a shower room. The first floor features a spacious landing that leads to an additional bedroom—allowing for flexible living arrangements once revitalized.
The gardens span approximately 0.2 acres and are primarily laid to lawn with established trees and shrubs that offer a mature landscape ready for enhancement or reimagining. A driveway accommodates two to three vehicles.
The village itself boasts charming traditional cottages and fosters a strong community spirit. Residents have access to essential amenities including a primary school and an array of delightful countryside walks right outside their door. This location not only enhances the property’s appeal but also its investment potential as demand grows in this picturesque part of Oxfordshire.
With these characteristics combined with its historical significance—named after John Hampden, a notable figure from the English Civil War—this cottage provides a compelling canvas for those looking to invest in property with rich heritage and future possibilities.
