BurdropBanbury, Oxfordshire, OX15 5RJ

Occupying an elevated position within the charming north Oxfordshire village of Burdrop, Shepherds Knoll is a quintessential Grade II listed ironstone cottage with a thatched roof offering the rare opportunity of deceptively spacious accommodation with further potential.

Approached via a covered carport and internal courtyard, the cottage has undergone sympathetic enhancement by the current owners, including replacing the thatch on the rear elevation, the boiler and carpets. There are still further improvements that could be undertaken, giving a purchaser the chance to put their own stamp on a charming, historical home: tailored to modern living, whilst preserving its historic integrity.

The accommodation retains a wealth of character, including exposed beams and parquet flooring. The well-proportioned sitting room enjoys an abundance of natural light, as well as featuring an impressive parquet floor, window seat and fireplace with gas fire. The kitchen is located at the rear of the house and with fitted units, views onto the garden and a back door into the courtyard.

Beyond the sitting room and adjoining the kitchen is a conservatory, which opens onto the garden. Subject to any necessary consents, there could be further potential to combine this with the kitchen or further extend the property.

On the first floor there is a dual aspect principal bedroom with in-built wardrobes; two further bedrooms and a family bathroom, while the attic room above provides valuable ancillary space and further versatility, for instance as a playroom or study.

The covered carport and internal courtyard to the side of the property lead to a generous single garage, which has further potential, subject to any necessary consents, for use as a studio, workshop or home office.

At the rear of the property is a generous, enclosed garden with stone walling. Steps lead from a patio next to the conservatory via steps up to a large terrace area, ideal for alfresco dining and entertaining. This opens onto a level area of lawn with trees. There is also a small stone outbuilding within the garden.
