Charming cottage with generous garden and array of sustainable features.
Rectory Cottage is an attractive detached stone period property set in the picturesque North Oxfordshire village of Somerton. This well-presented property offers character features combined with modern specifications and benefits from an enviable garden.
The property has undergone significant improvements, including many sustainable features, such as an air source heat pump, solar panels and under floor heating on the ground floor.
An impressive, dual aspect kitchen with wonderful vaulted ceiling provides a real focal point to the home. This light and spacious room features oak bi-fold doors onto the south westerly facing terrace, as well as reclaimed Hornton stone flooring, fitted wooden base and wall units, a Belfast sink and ample room for seating.
The generous and charming sitting room includes a wood burning stove and reclaimed Elm floorboards. A hallway with useful storage leads to a further family room providing a versatile space with tile floor.
The property also benefits from a downstairs shower room, as well as a useful utility room with hand crafted base units, space for white goods and a side access to a private terrace.
The first floor provides three bedrooms, two of which have views over the garden, and a bathroom, which includes a shower over the bath.
The charming and generous, south west facing garden is mainly laid to lawn with fruit trees, a Hartley greenhouse and vegetable plot. Steps lead down to a terrace adjoining the house, with a water feature from an elevated spring fed pond and a rill, which provides an idyllic spot for unwinding, al-fresco dining and entertaining.
Access via a shared driveway, is a generous off street parking area with electric car charging point and a detached garage. Adjoining the garage is a versatile office space with heating and electricity, which provides an ideal spot for working from home.

I love the fact that this house is so light with south west facing windows and bifold doors,which encompasses the gorgeous gardens.
