The hamlet sits in a fold of the landscape, between the two hills of Cuddesdon and Garsington, approximately 7 miles east of Oxford and well placed for Js 7 and 8 of the M40 motorway, the city of Oxford and the ringroads. Cuddesdon has a Parish Church and a popular pub The Bat and Ball. It is also the home of the Anglican theological training college. The surrounding area has the benefit of numerous walks and bridleways to enjoy the surrounding countryside. The nearby village of Wheatley provides day to day shopping needs including a library, post office, supermarket and primary and secondary schools; a local primary school can be found at the neighbouring village of Garsington. There is an excellent selection of preparatory and senior independent schools in the area including Abingdon School, Chandlings Manor, Cothill, the Dragon, Headington School, Magdalen College School, Oxford High and St Edwards School. The City of Oxford provides an extensive range of cultural, educational and shopping facilities. DESCRIPTION The White Cottage, which is thought to date back to the early 1700s, has been thoughtfully extended and sympathetically refurbished throughout by the current owners to offer both modern and characterful accommodation. The accommodation comprises a light and bright contemporary dual aspect kitchen/breakfast room with underfloor heating overlooking the garden and French doors opening out onto the paved wrap around terrace perfect for alfresco dining. Separate boot room with Belfast sink and side door access to the garden. Utility room off the kitchen, leading through to the guest cloakroom/ wet room. To the front of the cottage there are two charming reception rooms, which are currently set up as a dining room with exposed painted beams, inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove and window seat and a dual aspect sitting room also with wood burning stove, exposed painted beams and window seat.
