Description

This property, formerly the village Post Office, offers a unique opportunity for renovation or investment in a quaint cottage setting. With its stone construction and tiled roof, this historical gem is 360 years old and retains much of its original character. While it has undergone careful updates in recent years, there remains significant potential for further expansion and customization to suit modern living. Inside, the home features three main reception rooms that exude charm and warmth, alongside a centrally located kitchen/breakfast room that serves as the heart of the home. Practical additions like a study and utility room enhance functionality on the ground floor. The arrangement of four bedrooms across two levels provides ample accommodation, with bath or shower facilities conveniently located on each floor. The exterior includes a walled garden that boasts a private terrace, a designated barbecue area, and a versatile outbuilding ripe for conversion into an office space or studio. The garden is primarily laid to lawn with mature trees lining the property, offering serene outdoor space along with ample parking options. The potential exists here for adding structures like a garage block or even creating separate accommodations, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions. Nestled in the heart of South Newington, this location is surrounded by historic properties and accessible via a quiet entrance off the main road. The village itself is well-equipped with amenities including a local pub featuring a restaurant and a notable 13th-century church. Community activities thrive at the village hall where seasonal events are held regularly along with various clubs catering to different interests. Nearby Bloxham provides additional services such as medical centers and grocery shopping while local primary schools are available within Great Tew, Bloxham, Hook Norton, and Deddington. Secondary education options include Warriner School in Bloxham and Chipping Norton School. For families considering private education, established institutions like Bloxham School and Tudor Hall are within reach. Overall, this property not only embodies historical charm but also presents an exciting opportunity for future development in an appealing rural community setting.
