Bampton Road, Black Bourton, Bampton, Oxfordshire, OX18

A wonderful Grade II listed, three-bedroom semi-detached cottage situated in the very desirable village of Black Bourton. The property was formerly owned by one of the Oxford colleges and has been tastefully decorated throughout with a beautiful garden backing on to a brook.

The ground floor accommodation comprises an entrance hall with stairs to the first floor. There is a bright, dual-aspect sitting room with fireplace and wood burning stove, and a kitchen/dining room, which includes a dual fuel cooking range and Belfast sink. Completing this floor is a utility room and a bathroom.

On the first floor, the master bedroom has lovely views over fields to the front with a quirky porthole window above the bed and benefits from fitted wardrobes. There are two further bedrooms on this floor.

Outside, the property has driveway parking for multiple vehicles to the front. The rear garden is enclosed, predominantly laid to lawn and backs onto a stunning stream.

The current owners have added a 5m x 5m patio area which is ideal for al fresco dining and soaking up the summer rays. The vendor has obtained planning permission for internal and external alterations to include the erection of side and rear single storey extensions and alterations to internal layout and the planning application can be found under West Oxfordshire District Council with the planning reference - 23/02627/LBC.

The small village of Black Bourton lies 14 miles west of Oxford and 5 miles south-west of Witney, on gently rising ground some three miles north of the river Thames. The village retains a markedly rural character.

There is a small hotel/restaurant and a parish church, St Mary the Virgin, in which a number of late 13th century wall paintings were discovered and restored during its renovation. The village is ideally situated for several very good primary schools: Clanfield, Bampton, Alvescot and Filkins. The village also benefits from having the school bus pick up to Burford Secondary School.

The nearby larger villages of Carterton and Bampton and market towns of Faringdon and Witney have many amenities, such as doctors’ surgeries, supermarkets, shops and galleries.
