Description

This charming three-bedroom Grade II listed thatched cottage offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of history in the picturesque village of Stanton Harcourt, Oxfordshire. The property has been sympathetically restored, preserving its original features such as exposed stonework, beams, and lime plaster walls. The inviting atmosphere is enhanced by an inglenook fireplace that includes a historic bread oven, making the living spaces both cozy and characterful. The accommodation boasts dual-aspect views from many rooms, overlooking the south-facing garden and surrounding countryside. The bespoke kitchen features a semi-fitted design with a farmhouse bench that complements the property's curved wall. The sitting room is bright and airy, with an oak-framed double-glazed window and doors leading to the garden. Upstairs, the landing showcases a high ceiling and original Crown glass leaded window. Bedrooms are well-appointed, with Bedroom One benefiting from an en-suite, while Bedroom Two includes a built-in toilet and washbasin. The bathroom and shower room have been thoughtfully improved, offering further potential for additional facilities. The south-facing garden, approximately 0.25 acres, is a highlight, featuring a large patio for entertaining and broad limestone steps that enhance its aesthetic appeal. A substantial garden workshop with electricity offers potential for conversion into a home office or studio, subject to necessary consents. The garden also includes a greenhouse and a small wildlife pond, designed to nurture local wildlife. Notably, there was previously granted planning permission for additional outbuildings, which may be of interest for future development. Situated in a historic village surrounded by open countryside, this cottage provides a tranquil lifestyle while remaining conveniently close to Witney and Oxford. This characterful home seamlessly blends historic charm with modern living.

Confidence: LOW

This charming Grade II listed thatched cottage presents a unique opportunity for buyers looking to invest in a property steeped in history and character. With well-maintained interiors featuring original stonework, beams, and bespoke design elements, this home offers a delightful blend of modern comfort and historical charm. The south-facing garden is an attractive feature, providing a scenic outdoor space that enhances the overall appeal of the property.

While the price is set at £950,000, we cannot assess its value against local £/sqf averages due to the absence of usable floor area data. However, the well-preserved condition of the property, along with its rich heritage, makes it a distinctive option for those seeking a unique renovation project. This is a light/typical project scale, allowing for personal touches that could further elevate the home’s value and comfort.
