A Quintessential Country Cottage in the Heart of Village Life

Set within the picturesque village of Little Bourton, this enchanting period cottage blends traditional character with modern comfort, offering the perfect retreat for those seeking the charm of countryside living. Constructed primarily in natural stone with a tasteful later extension, the property provides generous and beautifully balanced accommodation across two light-filled floors.

At its heart, the inviting sitting room features solid oak flooring, exposed beams, and a dual-aspect outlook that floods the space with natural light. From here, stairs rise to the first floor, while a door leads to an inner hallway providing access to a versatile study or second reception room. The kitchen/breakfast room is a standout feature—impressively proportioned with a vaulted ceiling, oak-fronted units, integrated appliances, and space to dine in comfort. A separate utility room and ground floor cloakroom complete the practical living spaces.

Upstairs, the first floor comprises three well-proportioned bedrooms, including a spacious principal bedroom with vaulted ceiling, and a bright, modern bathroom fitted with a white suite.

Outside

To the side, a gravelled driveway offers tandem parking for two vehicles. The rear garden is a peaceful, private haven—ideal for enjoying long summer afternoons. With raised planters, fencing, outside lighting, and a charming brick-built garden store, the space is thoughtfully arranged for both relaxation and utility.

Location

Little Bourton is a delightful North Oxfordshire village, home to a popular local pub and a children’s play park—perfect for families or those seeking a friendly community. Despite its rural feel, the village offers exceptional connectivity: Banbury’s mainline station provides a direct link to London Marylebone in under an hour, while the nearby M40 (Junction 11) offers swift access to Birmingham, Oxford, and beyond. Banbury’s thriving town centre, retail parks, and leisure amenities are just minutes away, with other regional centres including Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwick, and Leamington Spa also within easy reach.
