On the market for the first time in nearly 25 years, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a sizeable, four-bedroom cottage in a lovely rural setting, with mature grounds of approximately 2/3 acre. Significant possibilities for extension (subject to consents).
Early vacant possession available.
THE PROPERTY:
Accessed via a sweeping gravel drive, this fine detached home is well positioned on its 0.64 acre plot with a sunny southerly rear aspect and idyllic pastoral views.
The grounds have been lovingly planted with a wide variety of trees (including mature fruit) that afford both privacy and delight.
An elegantly proportioned drawing room features an open fireplace with cut stone surround and opens into a timber framed conservatory that the seller considers to be at the end of its useful life. To the front is the dining room that is linked to a light double aspect fitted kitchen with Belfast sink. The boot room beyond houses the floor mounted oil-fired central heating boiler.
Down the corridor at right angles to the main hall are a study and two bedrooms (the smaller of which has a French window to the rear terrace and been used as second home office). A sizable shower room completes the accommodation on this floor.
Upstairs, there are two sizeable double ensuite bedrooms at opposite sides of the galleried landing.
The drive has a parking area to one side and a detached garage with useful loft storage to the other. A wrap around terrace fringed by a low wall is adjacent to the property at the rear and is the ideal spot to enjoy the best of any sun and the view across open countryside.
The garden is predominantly lawn interspersed with carefully chosen specimen and fruit trees with some planted borders.

We are required by law to conduct anti-money laundering checks on all those selling or buying a property. Whilst we retain responsibility for ensuring checks and any ongoing monitoring are carried out correctly, the initial checks are carried out on our behalf by Lifetime Legal who will contact you once you have agreed to instruct us in your sale or had an offer accepted on a property you wish to buy. The cost of these checks is £60 (incl. VAT), which covers the cost of obtaining relevant data and any manual checks and monitoring which might be required. This fee will need to be paid by you in advance of us publishing your property (in the case of a vendor) or issuing a memorandum of sale (in the case of a buyer), directly to Lifetime Legal, and is non-refundable. We will receive some of the fee taken by Lifetime Legal to compensate for its role in the provision of these checks.
SITUATION:
Set within lush countryside, Yelford is an exclusive, secluded yet remarkably accessible hamlet with a small medieval church. Its fine Grade II* Listed 15th century manor house has recently been expensively restored to its glory. Average sale price in the hamlet in 2021 (last recorded sales) was £1.31m.
The community lies approximately 16 miles west of the dreaming spires of Oxford. It is 5 miles south of the thriving market town of Witney that offers a cosmopolitan range of shops, street cafes, and excellent sporting facilities coupled with higher order services that include a community hospital and tertiary college.
Several of the nearby villages have public houses and Burford, ‘The gateway to the Cotswolds’ with its golf course and acclaimed garden centre is within about 10 miles. The respected Cokethorpe independent co-educational school is 4 miles away by road.
