Welcome to Number 2 Rose Cottages!

A Charming Modern Cottage with Timeless Appeal

Don’t be fooled by the pretty period exterior! This delightful “roses-around-the-door” cottage may look like a centuries-old gem, but it was actually built in 2005 by a local small developer with an eye for design and quality. One of just two cottages, Number 2 Rose Cottages offers all the charm of a period property with the practicality and comforts of a modern home.

Step Inside

The spacious interior, totalling 1433 sqft, has been thoughtfully planned to maximise every corner. The front door opens into an airy hallway, setting the tone for the rest of the house. Off the hallway, you’ll find a sitting room, a bright space with a front-to-rear aspect, featuring an open fireplace with a cosy wood-burning stove. French doors lead directly out onto the patio. The dining room is big enough to host lively dinners and gatherings and could also double as a downstairs bedroom. A bonus is the large downstairs cloakroom nearby, which might accommodate a shower setup although, you might need a builder to check this. The kitchen is modern and well-equipped with Shaker units, complemented by an adjacent utility room that’s practical for everyday chores.

Upstairs, the cosy cottage vibe shines through with slightly sloping ceilings and lovely views down onto the garden from every window. There are three bedrooms: Two spacious doubles that are bright and welcoming, and a smaller third bedroom that could still fit a small double bed (190cm x 190cm) if required.

Meticulously Maintained

This home has only ever had one owner, who has kept it in tip-top condition since it was built. You’re ready to move in!

Outside Space

The property is set back from the quiet village road, offering privacy and peace. The front garden, facing south, has been beautifully landscaped and is surrounded by high hedges making for a private retreat. Over the last twenty years, the owner has gone to so much effort to create the most beautiful garden. There really are so many different species of plants - far too many to mention but this non gardening writer can tell you there are apple trees, a Christmas Fir, a mountain Ash and of course - the roses.... So many roses!

At the rear of the house, there is a smaller, practical area with a shed, greenhouse, and space for working projects. For parking, there is a large garage along with additional parking for three vehicles, ensuring plenty of space for visitors or family.

Before we explore further, a word or two from the vendor who has been fere for the last 20 years:

"From the very first moment, I felt safe and ‘at home’ here. It wasn’t just the calm feel of the house or the pretty village location, but the unassuming warmth and friendliness of my neighbours - who were ‘there’ if I needed them and at a discreet distance if I didn’t."

Sutton Village: The Heartbeat of Community

Sutton is a lively and welcoming community, offering a variety of activities and amenities. The village hosts groups such as walking, a monthly Village Market, Mothers and Toddlers, a Book Club, sports at the Village Hall, dancing, Keep Fit groups, and a Breakfast Club at the pub, all adding to the vibrant atmosphere. Facilities include two large play areas, a cafe at the chapel, Parish Council meetings, and the Cricket Club. The annual Village Festival, held every June, is a highlight that brings neighbours together for fun and festivities.

Stanton Harcourt, just a mile away, adds further convenience with a small shop at the village hall selling essentials and newspapers, open daily from 8–10 am, perfect for grabbing milk and a paper before breakfast.

Transport Links

Getting around is easy from Sutton. A local bus service, the ‘First and Last, ’ connects to Eynsham and Witney, with onward routes to Oxford and local hospitals. Short drives give access to the A34, A40, M4, and M5, making Sutton an excellent base for commuting or weekend trips.

Places to Explore

You’re a short drive away from the stunning Blenheim Palace and the picturesque Cotswolds, ideal for day trips and adventures.
