2 bed detached house for sale

Horton-Cum-Studley, Oxford, Oxfordshire OX33

Dating back to what is believed to be the 17th century, with modern additions, The Old Village Hall has abundant character and charm, which stands out from the moment you enter through the gate. The original part of this home houses many original features, including exposed beams, brickwork, and an open fireplace. This well-presented home has been extended and significantly modernised to offer spacious living and adding contrast between new and old, creating a light and airy space.

The delightful gardens are incredibly private and are a significant feature of the property, with far-reaching views towards Otmoor and the popular Studley Wood Golf course. There are extensive outbuildings, including a triple garage, workshop, and store. The 800 sqft of garaging and workshops has been thoughtfully created so that it is not visible from the road. It has a separate power supply to the cottage, making it ideal for car storage or similar.
