3 bed cottage for sale

Merrivales Lane, Bloxham OX15

Tucked away on a quiet lane in the heart of Bloxham, this three-bedroom cottage is full of character and charm, with flagstone floors, exposed ceiling beams, stripped wooden doors, deep window seats and a welcoming open fireplace at its centre.

The sitting room is the heart of the home, anchored by a large open fire with a wood-effect floor laid over the original tiling and a useful understairs cupboard discreetly tucked away. From here, the space flows naturally into the garden room - a light-filled space with glazed doors opening onto the rear garden, terracotta-style ceramic tiling and a lovely sense of connection to the outdoors throughout the year.

The kitchen and dining room is dual aspect and thoughtfully arranged with shaker-style cream units, a traditional Belfast sink and a gas-fired Alpha Aga set within an impressive inglenook fireplace. A separate built-in electric oven and hob provide everyday convenience alongside, while ample space for a dining table makes this a sociable room well suited to both daily life and entertaining.

Upstairs, three well-proportioned bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom complete the first floor. The principal bedroom benefits from a dual aspect, while the remaining two bedrooms feature exposed beams adding to the cottage's individuality. The bathroom is attractively appointed with a freestanding roll-top bath, a separate fully tiled shower cubicle, WC and wash hand basin - classic style with modern comfort.

Outside, a fully enclosed cottage garden is laid mainly to lawn with well-stocked flowering borders and a paved patio perfect for outdoor dining. A brick-built outbuilding with power and light connected offers excellent potential as a home office, studio or workshop - an increasingly sought-after feature for those working from home.

On-street parking is available outside the property.

Bloxham is one of North Oxfordshire's most popular ironstone villages, offering a genuine sense of community with a range of amenities including a choice of public houses, local shops, and both primary and secondary schooling as well as the highly regarded Bloxham School. Banbury, with access to the M40 at Junction 11 and mainline services to London Marylebone in under an hour, is just 3.5 miles away.
