5 bed detached house for sale

Grafton, Bampton, Oxfordshire OX18

Set in the heart of the peaceful hamlet of Grafton, just outside the desirable village of Clanfield, Mulberry Cottage is a striking period home built of traditional stone, exuding charm and character.

The property is approached via a gravel driveway, framed by a low dry-stone wall and topiary borders, leading through a wrought iron archway to the front entrance. Climbing greenery and mature shrubs enhance the sense of serenity and privacy from the outset.

The interiors blend rustic charm with elegant presentation. The welcoming entrance hallway features natural limestone flooring, exposed stonework, and a beamed ceiling, setting the tone for the rest of the house. A characterful staircase with painted steps leads to the first floor.

The drawing room is a true focal point, with original beams, painted ceiling panels in bold teal, exposed stone walls, and a wood-burning stove set within a large inglenook fireplace, an ideal space for entertaining or relaxing in cosy comfort. Throughout the property, shuttered windows frame delightful garden views, and the décor carefully complements the historic fabric of the building.
