About this property

An utterly charming period cottage in a private walled garden hidden in the heart of the village.

This charming Grade II Listed detached cottage dates in origin from the 17th Century and is a fine example of rendered and colour washed Witchert construction unique to the locality. The property is completely hidden from sight in a delightful walled garden and must be one of the best kept secrets in the village. The cottage was the home of the Rose family until the late 19th Century, who were prominent Quakers. The current owners have spent the last 15 years meticulously restoring the cottage, creating a truly exceptional home which has clearly been a real labour of love. There are notably good ceiling heights throughout for a cottage of this era.

The agent hasn't said which band this home is in; you can look it up on GOV.UK. In South Oxfordshire, 2026/27 bills run from £1,732 a year in band A to £5,195 in band H.

Figures from MHCLG (Open Government Licence v3): the average bill for each band across South Oxfordshire, including the typical parish precept, so a parish's own bill can differ a little. Discounts lower the bill, such as 25% off for an adult living alone.
