This charming Cotswold cottage presents a rare chance to invest in a property with historical significance, needing refurbishment to tailor it to your personal taste. Originally part of the esteemed Dashwood Estate, this Grade II listed home boasts original features and character that speak volumes about its storied past, likely dating back to the 1600s or 1700s. The structure is built from distinctive Hornton Quarry stone, known for its durability and warmth.
Centrally situated in the desirable village of Duns Tew, renowned for its rich history and proximity to local highlights such as one of Oxfordshire's oldest pubs, this property offers expansive potential. The interior includes notable elements such as inglenook fireplaces and a historic bread oven, waiting for your vision. Although aspects like woodchip-covered walls reveal some wear, they also suggest minimal structural movement over decades.
The layout includes a sizeable main room connecting two inglenook fireplaces and a kitchen extension that appears to be over a century old. The garden space has both access from inside the house and independent entry—ideal for enhancing outdoor living experiences or even considering an extension (subject to planning permission).
As you explore this property’s potential, you'll find opportunities not only to modernize but also to preserve its unique charm for future generations.
