About this property

A handsome stone cottage with space to bring everyone together and room to retreat. Five double bedrooms, three bath/shower rooms and sociable living areas offer space and flexibility for visiting friends and family, or working from home. With village shops and pubs a stroll away and countryside walks nearby, this is Wheatley living with Oxford within easy reach.

Behind its traditional stone frontage, this extended period cottage offers approximately 2,125 sq. ft of versatile accommodation, blending character with sociable living spaces.

A welcoming sitting room with twin bay windows leads through an open-plan kitchen/dining space with a central island and doors to the garden. A separate downstairs WC, utility room and cloakroom add practicality, while a ground-floor bedroom with an en-suite shower room is ideal for guests or relatives.

Two staircases serve the upstairs areas, providing three bedrooms and a family bathroom plus a further bedroom with a dressing room and bathroom. Updated wiring and central heating complement this flexible home, equally suited to entertaining, working from home and accommodating visiting family.

Outside

Beyond the house, local footpaths and bridleways open up countryside walks, while nearby Shotover offers wide-open views across south Oxfordshire, woodland trails and space for dog walks, running and weekend exploring.

Following exceptional rainfall in September 2024, which overwhelmed local flood defences, the property experienced flooding from overflowing drains, resulting in minor damage. The current owners have since completed drainage improvements and reconfigured the garden, with one-way drainage valves being installed to help reduce the risk of recurrence. A local Natural Flood Prevention Scheme has also been introduced, with further schemes planned within the village.
