Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold
  • Kitchen
  • Open plan dining and living room
  • 2 double bedrooms
  • One bathroom
A charming, detached 2 bedroom period stone cottage in the picturesque and well-connected Oxfordshire village of Islip. Set at the rear of a gated, shared pebble-stone courtyard at the village end of North Street, this former farm storehouse was sensitively renovated in 2001 to be fully-modernised and yet retain its traditional character. The cottage offers two good-sized bedrooms with pitched ceilings and dormer windows; an adjoining, modernised shower room; an open-plan living/dining room with wood flooring and feature fireplace with electric "wood-burning stove"; and separate, bright galley kitchen with fitted appliances and built-in cabinetry. A rear door opens onto a secluded patio area with useful outside storage space, and links the cottage to the communal courtyard which provides secure off-road parking for one car.
Well-maintained throughout, a new hot water cylinder and pump were fitted in 2021, controlled through Hive, along with a new dishwasher and dryer. The property naturally offers the exciting potential to extend, subject to the usual planning consents. Can be sold part-furnished or unfurnished. Currently rented until mid-August 2023 but can exchange prior to this with tenant in situ. No onward chain. Ideal for a professional or retired couple, a young family, or as a pied à terre/weekend home. Perfect lock up and go.

Storehouse Cottage sits in behind electric gates in a discreet setting. The cottage benefits from a lovely sun trap private patio area which is situated off the galley kitchen. This extends to a communal courtyard.

Surrounded by beautiful open countryside, the pretty village of Islip is highly sought-after due to being conveniently located just five miles from Oxford and having a number of excellent popular commuter links. The village offers easy access to the A34 and the M40 (J9). Islip benefits from a railway station and Oxford Parkway, with regular trains to Marylebone, is an 8 minute drive. The community is vibrant and supportive, offering a village primary school, church, village hall with a general store, pub and an NHS medical practice.
More comprehensive amenities can be found in nearby Summertown and Kidlington, where secondary schooling is available. There are also many excellent private schools in and around Oxford.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on May 19, 2022

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on May 19, 2022

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
