Property description
THE PROPERTY A truly distinctive and individual home, hidden away in one of Oxfordshire's most sought after villages, Warneford Cottage (formerly Warneford House Cottage) is an extension to the original C18th Warneford House and was built around 1850. It has an enclosed, established and beautiful garden, landscaped by the current owner, offering a very private space for entertaining.
The accommodation includes an entrance lobby, leading to a utility room and cloakroom, then opening into the hallway with doors to a warm and inviting kitchen which is open plan to the dining area. Both the hall and the dining area have an attractive, purpose-designed floor of 'weathered elm' with inset fleur de lys pattern. The kitchen, with ceramic tiled floor, has an extensive range of handmade solid oak fronted cabinets under worktops. It includes an Aga and a walk-in storage cupboard.
The sitting room is a generously proportioned space with an attractive open sandstone fireplace and extensive built-in cupboard and shelving areas. It leads through to the slate-floored conservatory which is often used as an artist's studio, overlooking the rear terraced garden.
On the first floor, the large master bedroom has a fireplace, a bespoke limed oak dressing unit with large mirror and oval wash hand basin inset, as well as shelves and drawers. The vendor informs us that plumbing is in place for en suite facilities if required. The second bedroom has a fixed staircase rising to the attic rooms and the third room on this floor, with a built-in bed, is currently being used as a walk-in dressing room. The spacious bathroom has been attractively refitted with a tiled shower cubicle and roll-top bath. The inset oval wash hand basin forms part of a bespoke oak unit with a larger mirror and cupboards.
The attic space comprises three interconnecting rooms which offer considerable potential for bedrooms and a second bathroom, subject to the necessary planning and building regulation consents.
Outside, the property is approached over a gated gravelled driveway providing off-road parking for up to three vehicles, but currently partly set out as a lavender and herb garden. This has access, via stone steps, to a cellar room which has been used as a workshop. The boiler is located in this area which also offers valuable storage space. A secure, stone-built garden storage shed forms an integral part of the rear elevation, with lighting and connection to power and access to water services.
