3 bed detached house for sale

Bampton, Oxfordshire OX18

A charming and historic Cotswold stone house in the heart of Bampton with off street parking and views of the Church spire.

Tudor Cottage is a delightful period property in a beautiful location. Built of Cotswold stone under a tiled roof, the house has been sympathetically extended over the years and evolved with family requirements. Situated in the historic heart of the village, the property is not Listed and is ready for the next owner to make their own mark.

Internally there are many period features and, unusually for a property of this character, has high ceilings throughout. The formal sitting room fronts the property, and the more modern kitchen/breakfast room is to the rear overlooking the walled garden with views to the church spire. Upstairs there are three double bedrooms and a family bathroom.

Outside is a detached garage and off-street parking for several cars, a major bonus in the oldest part of Bampton. There is a delightful, generous, terraced walled garden with deep herbaceous borders and a real feeling of space and privacy.

Tudor Cottage is a short walk from the shops and local attractions in the historic heart of Bampton, surrounded by period properties near the Church.
