Dating back to the 17th century, this Grade II listed property was once two cottages, now requiring comprehensive modernization to unlock its full potential. Characterized by historical features such as exposed beams and open fireplaces, this unique residence presents an excellent opportunity for investment. The property is constructed from local ironstone with a corrugated fibre-cement sheeting roof and secondary glazed leaded light windows. The layout spans two floors, incorporating two reception areas, a kitchen, three bedrooms, and a family bathroom. Heating is provided by a propane gas Rayburn that also serves the hot water supply via radiators.
The sitting room boasts a concealed fireplace and offers views over the village green. A separate dining room features a raised parquet floor with similar picturesque views. The kitchen is fitted with wooden units and includes space for appliances alongside the Rayburn. Adjacent to the kitchen is a conservatory with easy access to the courtyard area. On the upper level, there are three bedrooms—two equipped with charming window seats—and a family bathroom featuring a traditional three-piece suite.
Externally, the property sits behind a small lawned garden leading up to the front door, while at the rear lies a paved courtyard providing passage to adjoining cottages. Six brick-built sheds under slate roofs offer practical utility for storage or workshop space, each powered with electrical connections.
Located in Shenington on the northern edge of the Cotswolds, this home offers a blend of historical charm and community spirit within close proximity to Banbury's amenities and transport links. This tranquil village setting with its church, pub, and respected primary school makes it an attractive option for families and those desiring peaceful rural living.
