4 bed cottage for sale

Church Road, Great Milton, Oxford, Oxfordshire OX44.

Located in the sought-after village of Great Milton, 5-6 Priory Bank was originally two cottages that, in recent years, has been lovingly transformed into a spacious, luxurious home with a wealth of traditional features, including exposed beams, oak, stone and welsh slate flooring, and wood-burning stoves. As you enter this stone-built, Grade II listed thatched home, you are greeted by a good-sized reception hall with flagstone flooring and a sizeable wood-burning stove. Off the hall is a utility room, cloakroom, and the hub of the house, a large flexible sitting/dining room, which has been extended to create an impressive and versatile family room with double-height pitched ceilings, as well as floor-to-ceiling oak-framed windows and bi-fold doors on to the courtyard terrace. The high-end, contemporary fitted Tom Howley kitchen with integrated appliances has been excellently finished. It benefits from a built-in seated area and pitched ceilings. Additionally, on this floor, there is a snug and access to the cellar and secondary access stairs leading to the bedrooms.

Upstairs there are four double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a bright and airy space, benefiting from an en suite and the height and windows of the extension, with views of the mature walled garden. There is also a family bathroom and hall with seating.

Externally, the lower terrace is surrounded by walled gardens and borders filled with colour. Steps lead you to the secluded upper garden, which has been landscaped, providing areas for quiet relaxation and al fresco dining complemented by wellstocked borders and lawn. There is a detached and well sized double garage which is accessed by a lane to the rear of the property. The garage includes a room above and the detached building could be converted into a separate annex, subject to planning consent. Well stocked borders are located along the front elevation of the property with side access leading to the rear garden.
