Thame Road, Warborough

Set in a tucked-away position within the highly regarded village of Warborough, The Old Cottage is an attractive Grade II listed cottage with origins believed to date back to the 15th century. The house is rich in period character, with exposed timbers throughout, an impressive inglenook fireplace and unusually high ceilings for a property of its age. The property has been beautifully maintained by the current owners, whilst offering the opportunity to make some further improvements, particularly to the kitchen and bathrooms, or enlarge subject to the necessary permissions being obtained. The ground floor provides a comfortable sitting room centred around a substantial fireplace, together with a small office/hobby room, a separate dining room, kitchen and toilet. The generous ceiling heights and exposed timberwork give the accommodation a wonderful sense of character while retaining a surprisingly light and spacious feel. On the first floor, the large principal bedroom is particularly impressive, enjoying a double aspect and excellent proportions. There is a further double bedroom with an en suite, together with the family bathroom. Two additional bedrooms are situated on the second floor, providing flexible accommodation for family and guests. Outside, the house enjoys a secluded front and rear garden providing an attractive and private setting. There is a single garage with a useful garden office positioned to the rear, while the driveway provides off-road parking for several cars.
