A highly attractive stone-built cottage, traditional in style with a thoughtfully designed modern interior, offering light-filled open-plan living in an idyllic, much-loved village location.
On approach, you’ll notice the newly added oak-framed porch, creating a warm and welcoming first impression. Step inside to find a beautifully refurbished hallway, complete with wood panelling, a built-in bench, and open shelving, combining practicality with charm. The hall opens directly into a spectacular 20ft long, triple-aspect living/dining/kitchen space, flooded with natural daylight. This impressive open-plan area showcases a timeless aesthetic, featuring an exposed brick wall backdrop, engineered oak flooring with underfloor heating, and a stylish kitchen with timber worktops and integrated appliances.
Also on the ground floor is a newly refurbished cloakroom, fitted with a classically styled suite including an oversized sink and panelling in keeping with the cottage character. There’s also scope to create understairs storage should the next owner wish to maximise space further.
Upstairs, the landing is lit by a skylight overhead, bringing in additional natural light. The first room to your left is a generously sized master bedroom featuring an exposed brick wall and plenty of space for freestanding or built-in furniture. A sleek and contemporary 3 piece ensuite with natural stone tiling and shower completes this tranquil retreat.
A second double bedroom to the rear enjoys garden views and excellent proportions, while the third bedroom makes an ideal small double, nursery, or dedicated home office. This room benefits from a newly fitted built-in wardrobe, adding to its flexibility. A recently replaced family bathroom to the front of the house is finished to a luxurious standard with full marble-effect tiling and a walk-in rainhead shower, which is oversized for ease of access.
Outside, the south facing rear garden, landscaped as recently as August 2024, offers a private and peaceful oasis. Designed with both beauty and practicality in mind, it features raised railway sleeper beds, integrated drainage, and multiple electrical points. A raised terrace provides the ideal spot for dining or relaxing, surrounded by spotlights that elegantly illuminate the garden, side path, and front elevation of the house. A gated side access leads to a practical suntrap area, perfect for potted plants or enjoying the morning sun and currently accommodates a well-sized shed and outdoor tap.
To the front, the cottage is set well back from the lane behind a generous lawned garden. The outlook is quintessentially English: a peaceful village lane framed by mature trees, a duck pond, and predominantly stone-built homes.
Marsh Gibbon offers a thriving community with a host of amenities, including a well-stocked shop and post office, a primary school, two welcoming pubs, a Parish Church, and village hall. The village also boasts excellent recreational facilities such as a playground, tennis courts, and cricket and football pitches. For wider amenities, the popular market town of Bicester is just a short drive away.
