Witney Road Finstock Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, OX7 3DF 3 bed cottage for sale - £695,000 (2024)

Heath Cottage is a very special cottage, perfectly placed on the edge of Finstock in Oxfordshire. This superb property has been brought to life by the current owners, who have put their heart and soul into renovating and upgrading the property to create a truly wonderful family home.

Perfectly positioned on the edge of the Wychwood Forest in the Oxfordshire village of Finstock, this superb three-bedroom home has beautiful circular countryside walks from its doorstep and access to the centre of the village with its highly regarded Primary School and popular local pub, as well as a lovely walk in to the neighbouring village of Ramsden.

This detached cottage was originally two dwellings for Cornbury Estate workers, complete with attached barn (now the kitchen). The property was first sold into private ownership in 1855 (but most likely dates from the 18th century) and still has all of the charm and character of its past. When the owners bought the property, it was clear that it had been loved and enjoyed over the years but needed someone with the vision to create an exquisite family home. Heath Cottage has been thoroughly upgraded and reconfigured to create a stylish and practical home but original features like exposed wooden beams and traditional fireplaces have been lovingly preserved to ensure every room is still full of history and Cotswold charm.

The cottage is surprisingly large, at over 1,800 sq. ft, with a flexible layout and a detached outbuilding, currently used as an office. This property has been cleverly configured with a superb kitchen with vaulted ceiling, two traditional reception rooms with stunning original features, and a charming sun room to enjoy the garden. Externally, the sheltered cottage garden is the perfect extension to the home, a private and colourful space to enjoy throughout the year, with a wonderful raised terrace and barbecue area to enjoy the evening sun. Additionally, the driveway and outbuildings offer ample parking and storage. There is further potential with existing planning permission for a double storey extension to the front of the property.

This truly is a very special and tranquil family home that has been sensitively and extensively upgraded in every room to create a property that is easy to live in and enjoy whilst still bursting with character.

Finstock is a delightful Cotswold Village, peppered with unique and characterful homes and with a thriving community.
