Snowdrop Cottage is a spacious Cotswold stone family house which has recently been refurbished to an incredibly high standard. Situated in an idyllic edge-of-village setting in a quiet location, it is just one of five individual detached properties constructed on a former farmyard in 2017, designed to echo the surrounding traditional period buildings in the area yet offering contemporary levels of space and comfort.

This four bedroom detached house is complemented by a stone outbuilding used as an annexe or home office, offering extremely versatile accommodation ideal for modern family living. The main reception rooms are light and spacious, with generous ceiling heights. A welcoming hall with new crittal glazed Fabco doors opening to a formal drawing room and adjoining dining room, creating an impressive first impression. Hidden around the corner is a cinema room with full sound insulation and acoustic boarding. To the rear, a 28ft kitchen/breakfast/family room with French doors to the garden has a more convivial feel. The house has been skillfully designed for today's requirements and desires. The owners have tastefully incorporated an impressive bi-ethanol fireplace linking the drawing room and cinema room. The fabulous kitchen/breakfast/family room is the hub of the house, with delightful views over the garden and fields beyond. The stylish kitchen has multiple wall and base units under a Silestone worktop. There are state-of-the-art appliances, including a double oven, gas hobs, an integrated fridge freezer and a dishwasher.

Above are four bedrooms and three bathrooms, plus plenty of additional storage. The principal suite is exceptionally generous, with a dressing room and bathroom with a separate shower. The fourth bedroom has also been known to double up as a second home office.

To the side of the house is a double garage with plenty of parking in front. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn whilst framed by a Cotswold stone wall and herbaceous border. To the rear, a dining terrace adjoins the kitchen and dining room, almost making the garden another room. There is a separate detached annexe or home office for those looking for a short commute.


Snowdrop Cottage is situated on the edge of Shipton-under-Wychwood, a thriving village set in the rolling Cotswold countryside of the Evenlode Vale, between Burford and Chipping Norton. Within the village are three excellent public houses (including the popular Lamb Inn only 200 yards away), a post office with a shop, a large modern village hall, and a doctors' surgery with pharmacy and dispensary attached. There are sports clubs for bowls, football, cricket and tennis and several social clubs, societies and volunteer groups. The new village hall was opened in 1998 and actively hosts anything from badminton to bridge clubs and yoga lessons. Regular bus services are from within the village and a local train station. More regular services are available on the same line from Charlbury and Kingham.

Schooling in the area is excellent, with a primary school serving both Shipton and Milton-under-Wychwood and a further well-regarded independent preparatory school in the nearby village of Ascot-under-Wychwood. Many public and private schools are nearby, including St. Edward's, Magdalen College and Headington Girls at Oxford, Radley near Abingdon and Cokethorpe near Witney and Kitebrook. Daylesford Organic Farm Shop, Soho Farmhouse, and Estelle Manor are close by.
