3 bed property for sale

Heath Lane, Bladon, Woodstock OX20

Dating back in part to the 17th Century, this handsome Grade ii-listed, three bedroom home sits proudly in the heart of the picturesque village of Bladon. Brimming with character, the cottage offers the rare combination of period features with well-balanced accommodation, good ceiling height and a practical layout.

Entry is via the central hall and into the main reception room where a wood-burning stove is housed within a stone fireplace, forming a natural centrepiece. A traditional bay window welcomes in a good quality of natural daylight which softly illuminates the neutral interiors whilst a built in cupboard offers valuable storage space. The partially open-plan kitchen/dining room unfolds across the rear of the plan and allows for a truly sociable experience. A side door provides direct access to the rear garden - a wonderful spot for summertime hosting.

Period features and charm continue up to the first floor where there are two bedrooms and a family bathroom off a bright landing with exposed timbers. The third floor is home to a generous third bedroom with en-suite facilities and bult in wardrobes. Whilst the excellent flow of daylight has meant that the space has most recently been used as a creative studio, the proportions mean that it could comfortably be transformed back into a master bedroom if required.

Externally, the south-west facing rear garden is fully enclosed and easily maintained, providing a private and tranquil setting for relaxation. Offered with no onward chain.
