Shepherds Cottage is a delightful Grade II listed Cotswold stone property dating back to the 17th century, set in the picturesque village of Shipton-under-Wychwood in the heart of the Cotswolds. Thoughtfully and sympathetically renovated, it retains its historic character while offering modern comforts. With exposed stone walls, substantial beams, and accommodation arranged over three floors, the cottage exudes warm rustic charm.

The front door opens into a tiled entrance hall with a door to a shower room. From here, you enter the dining room which is at the heart of the property featuring engineered oak flooring and French doors leading to the rear garden. Open to the dining room is a versatile family room with fitted bookshelves and a niche and a door that opens to a generous sitting room with a traditional fireplace housing a wood-burning stove, a panelled built-in cupboard, recessed shelving, and a window seat beneath a period Crittall window that is complemented by traditional wall panelling. To the left of the dining room, the oak flooring continues into a bespoke handmade Evie Willow kitchen, complete with a built-in storage bench, solid wood worktops, and a Belfast sink. Appliances include a Rangemaster dual-fuel oven with extractor, integrated dishwasher, two fridges, and a cupboard with space for a microwave. Steps rise from the kitchen to a utility room with doors to both the front and rear gardens. This room also features Evie Willow cabinetry, an integrated fridge/freezer, and an alcove with plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer.

A staircase from the family room leads to the first floor, which offers three double bedrooms, including a spacious dual-aspect principal bedroom with a fitted wardrobe and window seat. All bedrooms share a family bathroom with a shower over the bath. The top floor comprises a large attic divided into three rooms with exposed beams offering scope, subject to planning, for additional bedrooms and an en suite bathroom or shower room.

Outside, to the front of the property is a small paved off-street parking area and a raised stone border. To the rear is a beautifully maintained south-facing walled garden which enjoys sunshine throughout the day and features a paved terrace, manicured lawn, well-stocked flower beds, a timber shed, and a gate providing pedestrian access over neighbouring land. There is a gated gravel area with bin storage.
