House For Sale £1,200,000
Dating back to the 17th century and adjacent to a converted water mill, this charismatic thatched property started life as three millers cottages and has since been combined to provide two cottages (No.1 and No. 2/3), although it can also be utilised as one dwelling (subject to planning permission). The accommodation offers immense flexibility with potential for an income stream, and as a whole is laid out to provide six bedrooms and five reception rooms.
Some of the splendid original features on display include exposed timber beams and brickwork, and original fireplaces, which combine with elegant modern fittings and understated styling to create attractive, comfortable living space. There are five comfortable and flexible reception rooms on the ground floor including the 27ft dining room at the heart of the home. The ground floor also benefits from two kitchens at opposite ends of the house, one of which has an electric Aga, while the other has modern integrated appliances. The ground floor further comprises a bathroom, utility room and cloakroom.
There are four well-presented double bedrooms on the first floor (one with en suite bathroom), accessed via two separate staircases, as well as two bathrooms, and a sitting room located on the spacious landing area. A further two double bedrooms are located on the second floor, each accessed via their own staircase.
Agent’s note: Cottage No. 1 is tenanted until January 2024
The cottage has a delightful garden to the front and rear, with lawns, paved pathways and terracing, meadows, a small orchard, colourful border flowerbeds and established hedgerow. The rear garden is host to a greenhouse and several brick-built outbuildings, which are useful for storage and/or workshop space.
The property lies uniquely within a gated canal-side yard, in an idyllic setting beside the River Cherwell and surrounded by stunning countryside, close to the large Oxfordshire village of Kidlington. From the property, pleasant walks may be enjoyed through woods and across fields, or along the canal towpath.
Kidlington village is situated two miles north of Oxford, and offers a wide range of amenities, including a post office, a medical practice, shops, supermarkets and both primary and secondary schools. Oxford, with its excellent shopping, leisure and cultural facilities, plus a further range of superb schools, is within easy reach, while Bicester, with its popular designer outlet mall, is eight miles away.
The area is well connected by road, with the M40 (Jct 9) just over 7 miles away, while Oxford Parkway mainline station, 3.5 miles away, offers direct services to London Marylebone.
