Impressive family home in sought-after village.
Cotswold House is a striking, five bedroom, Grade II listed home of Horton Stone construction and understood to date from the 1730's. This substantial family home has undergone a transformation in recent years to provide well-presented, versatile accommodation, whilst retaining a wealth of character and period features.
Set in the heart of the much sought-after village of Deddington, close to amenities, whilst benefitting from views over open countryside, the house has a huge amount to offer.
The popular village of Deddington is characterised by the delightful market place which hosts a monthly farmers' market. With origins believed to date to Saxon times and the village is rich in history including an early 13th century church.
With generous accommodation over three floors, Cotswold House makes an ideal family home, as well as offering holiday let potential, particularly being only 7 miles from Soho Farmhouse and 3.5 miles from Restoration Hardware at Aynho.
The sitting room benefits from high ceilings and a wealth of period features, including original tile floor, ceiling rose and brick fireplace with wood burning stove. In the centre of the house is a charming music room, which is suitable for a variety of uses.
This leads through to an impressive kitchen / breakfast room, which has been created by the current owners and forms a real focal point for the house. This generous space includes ample room for dining and seating, a door leading onto the terrace and fitted kitchen with base and wall units, Belfast sink and integrated appliance. The kitchen also features a charming historic range.
A boot room area leads through to a dining room with a vaulted ceiling and double doors on to the terrace and a further play room area, providing a versatile space. There is also a ground floor WC.
The first floor landing has been set up to provide a useful study area with far reaching views of open countryside.
The generous principal bedroom is wonderfully light with an impressive vaulted ceiling and an en suite room, which could be finished to provide a shower room / dressing room. The plumbing is in place for the en suite shower room, but appliances need fitting.
There is also a spacious second double bedroom with cast iron fireplace and a generous family bathroom, with free-standing bath, separate shower and plumbing for a washing machine and a tumble dryer.
The second floor provides further versatile space with three good sized bedrooms and a shower room. The property also includes a boarded loft.
To the rear of the property is a charming, south west facing walled garden providing the ideal space to unwind and entertain. The garden includes a large terrace, which can be accessed from the kitchen, boot room and dining room; lawn and mature flower beds.
The property benefits from a right of way to provide access to the garden.

Deddington is one of my favourite villages and Cotswold House is a very rare find. I love what the current vendors have done to create a wonderful family home. The fact you can nip to the shops, whilst having countryside walks a stone's throw away is an added bonus.
