A charming detached home with 19th century origins, lovingly maintained by the current owners for nearly 30 years, set in a generous 0.27 acre plot with mature garden and brick outhouse. The property benefits from a self-contained annexe, perfect for multi-generational living or guest accommodation.

The property:

At the heart of this delightful home lies a 19th-century double-fronted stone cottage, sympathetically extended during the 20th century to create a distinctive and beautifully balanced property. The result is a characterful yet highly versatile residence that blends period charm with modern comfort - including a self-contained annex offering its own private outdoor space.
The main house features an impressive L-shaped reception room, where French windows open directly onto the wonderfully private south-facing garden - a tranquil, mature outdoor space ideal for entertaining or quiet relaxation. A substantial brick-built outhouse and detached garage provide excellent storage and workshop potential, while ample parking is available behind a traditional timber five-bar gate.

The kitchen has a breakfast area ideal for informal dining. The principal bathroom is luxuriously appointed, with both a separate shower and a deep bath for indulgent soaking.

Upstairs, two charming bedrooms are accessed via separate staircases, affording rarely found privacy. One benefits from an en-suite shower room and is reached via a quirky space-saving staircase (this stairwell is spacious enough to accommodate a conventional staircase if preferred).
The adjoining annexe is accessible from the main house but also has its own entrance - ideal for multigenerational living, visiting guests, or those working from home. Its private outdoor area makes it a true asset and will appeal to those who like the idea of an income from renting or holiday letting.

Situated within easy reach of Long Hanborough’s mainline railway station, this enchanting home offers the perfect blend of village community and commuter convenience. With its abundance of character, versatile layout and beautifully mature gardens, it represents a rare opportunity to acquire a quintessential country property with the convenience of gas central heating and double glazing. No wonder the present owners have been in residence for nearly 30 years!

situation:

Nestled amidst the picturesque Oxfordshire countryside, the charming village of North Leigh, affectionately known as "Nor Lye" by locals, offers a delightful blend of history, community spirit, and modern convenience. Located just three miles from the bustling market town of Witney, North Leigh is a quintessential English village with roots tracing back to the post-medieval period. It boasts a vibrant community life centred around its amenities, including two welcoming pubs-one of which is renowned for its authentic Mexican cuisine-along with a quaint village shop, post office, and library. The village has an excellent primary school and local cricket and football teams make it an ideal location for families seeking a supportive and engaging environment. Nearby Estelle Manor, formerly Eynsham Hall, offers luxurious leisure experiences.

The village's strategic location provides excellent travel links, with regular bus services to Oxford and Witney, and exceptional train connections from Long Hanborough and Oxford Parkway stations. Commuters will find it particularly appealing, with direct trains from Hanborough whisking passengers to London Paddington in approximately 69 minutes and the dreaming spires of Oxford in just 10 minutes. Additionally, the M40 motorway, located approximately 14 miles away, offers convenient road access to London and beyond.

We are required by law to conduct anti-money laundering checks on all those selling or buying a property. Whilst we retain responsibility for ensuring checks and any ongoing monitoring are carried out correctly, the initial checks are carried out on our behalf by Lifetime Legal who will contact you once you have agreed to instruct us in your sale or had an offer accepted on a property you wish to buy. The cost of these checks is £75 (incl. VAT), which covers the cost of obtaining relevant data and any manual checks and monitoring which might be required. This fee will need to be paid by you in advance of us publishing your property (in the case of a vendor) or issuing a memorandum of sale (in the case of a buyer), directly to Lifetime Legal, and is non-refundable. We will receive some of the fee taken by Lifetime Legal to compensate for its role in the provision of these checks.
