ORCHARD COTTAGE

Orchard Cottage is a very special cottage, tucked away in the heart of Milton Under Wychwood in Oxfordshire. This superb property has been brought to life by the current owners, who have put their heart and soul into renovating and upgrading the property to create a truly stunning family home.

This superb 5-bedroom home is perfectly placed on a no-through lane, set back from the road, yet just a short stroll from everything the village has to offer. From your doorstep, you can immediately enjoy beautiful circular countryside walks, as well as being able to walk to all of the amenities the village has to offer, including the village shop, a lovely independent café, village pub, vets, hairdressers, dentist, Church and the primary school.

When the owners bought the property, it was clear that it had been loved and enjoyed over the years but needed someone with the vision to create an exquisite family home. Orchard Cottage still has all of the charm and character of its past but has now been thoroughly and beautifully upgraded to create an exceptional home, that is both stylish and practical but also full of Cotswold charm.

The cottage is surprisingly large, and the ground floor space is fantastic and flexible, with a super kitchen / diner, two large reception rooms and two smaller reception room, which could be ideal as offices, a snug or playroom. This property has been beautifully designed with a wonderful flow between the rooms, with open spaces for family and friends to gather and quieter corners to work or study. Externally the private South-facing Garden is the perfect extension to the home, a peaceful yet manageable space to enjoy throughout the year. Additionally, the gated driveway, garage and summer house offer ample storage and parking.

This truly is a wonderful family home that has been sensitively and extensively upgraded in every room to create a property that is easy to live in and enjoy whilst still bursting with character.

Ground Floor

As you step through the front door, this property will charm you instantly. There is a welcoming entrance hall with flagstone floor and a glimpse of one of the smaller reception rooms beyond, with beautiful vaulted ceiling, exposed stone wall and view of the garden.

From the entrance hall, you also access a larger reception hall, which could be an ideal formal dining room, with stairs rising to the first floor and access to the sitting room and kitchen / diner.

There are so many great spaces on the ground floor but the impressive kitchen/dining room is bound to be the heart of the home, a stylish yet practical space and the prefect blend of traditional farmhouse kitchen and high-quality modern appliances, with space for a large table to gather around while food is prepared on the Everhot Range Cooker. There is also a super sitting room at the rear of the property, with large bay window and French doors leading to the patio in the garden. This room is both elegant and large and has been beautifully and sympathetically restored so that it is bright and fresh, but with a real warmth to it, with a wonderful wood burning stove.

Beyond the kitchen, there is also practical pantry leading to a utility / cloakroom and another smaller reception room, which could be a fantastic office, snug or playroom, with a door leading to the garden.
