Description

This Grade II listed detached stone house dates from the 18th century, with later additions, and stands on a plot of about 0.20 acres in Cherington. The accommodation includes two principal reception rooms, a breakfast room and kitchen, together with four bedrooms, a wet room, a shower room and a family bathroom. Period details noted in the particulars include an inglenook fireplace, exposed beams and boarded bedroom floors. The kitchen has fitted cupboards and a built-in double oven, with a utility area and wet room beyond. A single garage with workshop space is incorporated into the house. Outside, the enclosed rear garden is mainly lawn, with a patio, walled garden and an apple tree; there is also off-road parking to the front. The property is freehold and offered with vacant possession. The listing notes that some updating may be appropriate, providing scope to adapt the interiors while retaining the house's historic features. Cherington has a parish church, pub and village hall, and Shipston-on-Stour, Moreton-in-Marsh and Chipping Norton provide wider services.

Confidence: MEDIUM

The Olde House has plenty of character to work with: exposed beams, stonework and an impressive inglenook give its reception rooms a distinctive period feel, while the enclosed garden, garage and workshop add useful appeal. The photographed interiors look usable but dated, so a light refresh of finishes and flooring could lift the presentation without turning this into a major renovation project. Its Grade II listing is worth bearing in mind when considering alterations.

At £750,000, the asking price is about 13% above the local £/sqf benchmark, so price is a constraint rather than a value advantage. The all-in purchase and refurbishment costs also look tight against local benchmarks; the house has character and scope for cosmetic improvement, but the numbers do not currently point to an obvious margin.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh dated carpets and decorative finishes to bring the period rooms into sharper focus.
  • Make the most of the exposed beams, stonework and inglenook fireplace as distinctive features.
  • Improve the patchy lawn while retaining the mature planting, enclosed garden and established outdoor character.

Key risks
