Description

This long-standing family residence, nestled in a sought-after Oxfordshire village, offers abundant potential for renovation and modernization. Once a quaint cottage from the late 1800s, St Catherine’s has undergone substantial extensions over the years, resulting in extensive living space that awaits reconfiguration to meet contemporary family needs. The ground floor comprises a spacious drawing room and sitting room, both featuring traditional open fires, along with a dining area and a kitchen/breakfast room equipped with a pantry and larder. A striking cut string staircase with an elegant mahogany handrail leads to the upper level where six bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a sizable vaulted attic present opportunities for creating en-suite facilities or additional living space. The surrounding gardens are generous and private, adorned with mature trees, vibrant flower beds, and charming herringbone brick terraces on three sides of the house. This property is perfectly positioned for those seeking a project in a vibrant village rich in history and amenities, including local schools, shops, public houses, and easy access to major transport links. With its impressive square footage of 2,633 sq ft set within approximately 0.75 acres of land, this home is ready for its next chapter filled with updates to enhance its historic charm while catering to modern lifestyles.
