A Charming and unique Grade II-listed character stone cottage dating from around 1700 offering a wealth of character features throughout situated in the desirable conservation area of Adderbury.
Grooms Lodge, previously a stables offers the perfect blend of comfort and character including exposed timbers, flagstone flooring and sash windows. The current owners have recently added a wonderful light filled sitting room overlooking the secluded west-facing garden with views of the woodland beyond.
The kitchen/dining room provides a welcoming hub of the home with flagstone flooring and exposed ceiling beams. The windows to the front and rear offer plenty of natural daylight, making it the ideal space for dining. Additionally on the ground floor is a delightfully cosy second snug/sitting room with a high ceiling, wooden flooring, and large sash window. There is also a cloakroom off the main hallway.
Moving upstairs, the main staircase leads to a landing, impressive in itself with original A-framed beams. The principal bedroom is an elegant retreat, also with A-framed beams, views of the countryside beyond, fitted storage and ensuite bathroom. The second bedroom is a light dual aspect room with a vaulted ceiling and shares access with bedroom three to a Jack and Jill ensuite shower room. Conveniently an additional staircase provides access from bedroom three downstairs into the sitting room.
The beautiful rear garden has a patio and generous lawn and enjoys fabulous views over the adjacent woodland. There is parking for 2 cars on the shared drive at the front, and access to the double garage/workshop.
The property benefits from gas central heating and significant roof repairs completed in 2023.
