Description

This Grade II listed three-bedroom cottage combines period details with practical accommodation in the village of Adderbury. The ground floor includes an entrance hall with flagstone flooring, a sitting room with a window seat and working shutters, and a separate dining room with a south-facing window seat. At the rear, the kitchen has an electric oven, built-in storage and garden access, alongside a separate WC. A cellar provides additional storage or possible alternative use, subject to the necessary consents. Upstairs are three bedrooms, while a staircase continues to a second-floor roof space that may offer scope for further living accommodation, subject to permissions. The rear garden is accessed through a passageway over which a neighbour has a right of way. The property also has a flying freehold, for which buyers are advised to contact the agent for details. Adderbury has village shops and services, pubs, a library, schools and sports facilities. Banbury is around four miles away, with further amenities and rail services to London Marylebone. The village also has road access to the M40 via nearby junctions.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

80out of 100
Grade AStrong opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

The standout is the asking price: at £244/sq ft, it is 33% below the local average, making this a compelling opportunity to acquire a characterful Grade II listed village cottage. The visible rooms are usable but have dated finishes, so a light refresh to decoration and flooring could bring them up to date while retaining the exposed beams, stone frontage and established garden. The kitchen appears serviceable rather than needing a major overhaul.

The cellar and roof space offer scope to explore further uses or additional living space, subject to the relevant consents. The roof-space conversion is potential rather than guaranteed value, but the existing purchase price and modest renovation range make this a strong overall project.

Key opportunities

  • Acquire at £244/sq ft, 33% below the local average.
  • Refresh dated carpets and finishes while preserving the exposed beams and traditional character.
  • Explore the roof space for potential additional living space, subject to permissions; the cellar also offers flexible-use potential.
