North Leigh, East End, OX29

East End is an idyllic hamlet just outside the village of North Leigh surrounded by countryside yet it’s just a short drive to the bustling town of Witney or historic Woodstock which offers access to Blenheim Palace. 

In the same ownership for over 30 years Roman Cottage is an attractive stone built family home offering a wealth of period charm including exposed stone walls, beams, fireplaces and flag stone flooring. Across the years the current owners have carried out extensive works some of which include a new boiler, pointing, new doors, new roof, new windows, extension to the property and driveway and a summer house with patio area.

The fantastic sitting room enjoys a fireplace at either end, one open and one with stove, and the large leaded light windows, one with a seat allow swathes of natural light to fill the whole living space. The separate dining room is dual aspect, has parquet flooring and opens to the cottage kitchen with a good range of units and Flavel Milano stove. A ground floor bedroom and shower room provide flexibility for multi-generational living.

On the first floor there are four good size bedrooms and bathroom.

Generous, south-easterly facing gardens are enclosed and afford a high degree of privacy with large lawn, mature trees, shrubs, and a vast array of flowering plants. The whole of this wonderful outdoor space is enhanced by the surrounding countryside. A covered seating area is a superb space to enjoy alfresco dining with family and friends. Ample driveway parking plus double tandem garage and a courtyard to the rear are additional attributes. Subject to planning the garage offers the potential to extend the property incorporating this space. Properties of this nature are seldom seen for sale in this desirable location and this pretty family home is a delight both inside and out.
