About this property

Charming village living enjoying beautiful gardens. Rarely available having been under the same ownership for nearly a century. Homes of this calibre are rare and seldom come available.

Held within the same family for nearly a century, The Nest is a wonderfully authentic English village cottage positioned towards the upper end of Steeple Aston—one of North Oxfordshire’s thriving rural communities on the edge of the Cotswolds. Quietly tucked away yet central to the village, the property offers charm, history, and an exceptional garden setting.
