2 bed semi-detached house for sale

Pear Tree Cottage, Barnard Gate OX29

Set within approximately half an acre of mature gardens, this charming period cottage in the hamlet of Barnard Gate combines a rural setting with excellent road and rail connectivity, as well as exciting potential for further enhancement.
The property has been thoughtfully refurbished by the current owners, creating a welcoming and well-balanced home that blends modern comforts with the character and proportions expected of a traditional cottage. A stable door opens into a generous dining kitchen, with a comfortable sitting room and additional reception space beyond.
Upstairs, two well-proportioned bedrooms are arranged off a central landing and are complemented by a modern bathroom.
A particularly appealing feature of the property is the approved planning consent for a two-storey side extension together with a detached double car-port and associated works. Planning Reference 23/02669/hhd was formally approved on 25 March 2024 by West Oxfordshire District Council. The approved scheme presents an excellent opportunity to significantly enlarge the accommodation and enhance long-term value, with full documentation available via the council’s planning portal.
The gardens extend to around half an acre and are attractively planted with mature trees and established shrubs, offering a high degree of privacy and a wonderful setting for outdoor living, while still providing scope for further landscaping and enhancement.
Barnard Gate enjoys a rural setting while remaining conveniently positioned for access to the A40. Nearby Hanborough, Charlbury and Oxford Parkway stations provide regular rail services to Oxford and London, making the property ideally suited for both country living and commuting.
