54 Freehold Street, Lower Heyford, OX25 5NT Guide price £295,000
Situated near the centre of the village, this is an attractive cottage "as is" but with great potential (STPP) to become something more.
Lower Heyford is a delightful village. Nestling in a valley with the River Cherwell parallel to the Oxford canal, farmland surrounds the village and the local scenery is wonderful. There is a good local school, a lovely old pub, local store, and access to all points of the compass is exceptional with the M40 and A34 close by and the Cherwell Valley railway line Heyford station within the village. For those looking for a rural existence combined with nearby access to all amenities, there are few better villages in North Oxfordshire.

Since the last tenant left the property has been comprehensively upgraded and modernised, hence today it is in lovely order, with well proportioned rooms. In particular, the house is well placed to take advantage of one of the best views in the area, overlooking farmland to the rear that extends for miles to the South. It's an extremely affordable solution to finding a character house in this premium village; it is also our strong suspicion (supported by our friendly architect) that the house could be extended to provide a significant amount of extra space, subject to planning - if you would like to investigate further please ask and we will be glad to help. The entrance to the house is on the right side, opening into a small inner hallway off which are the stairs. The door ahead leads directly into the living room. The instant impression is of a larger space than expected. At nearly 12 feet square with a large window to the front, it's a light and also practical room, and the fireplace is an attractive feature. To the rear a door leads into the recently refitted kitchen, which at 15 feet long also provides ample dining space, a rarity in this sort of property. Behind the kitchen a small inner porch leads out to the rear garden as well as a separate utility room, a great bonus in a cottage of this size. Upstairs there are two bedrooms. The view from both is splendid, with the smaller of the two at the rear overlooking the fields and the far-reaching views beyond. The larger at the front looks out across the tops of the lovely character houses of the lane opposite. Serving the pair is a surprisingly roomy, and immaculate, modern bathroom with a white suite. Outside, the house sits well back from the sleepy lane outside, in an elevated position. A path leads up between the stone front walls and hedgerow to the door, and to the front and side are quite large areas of lawn. This extends round to the rear of the house, where there is also a small stone outbuilding ideal for storing garden tools/ mower etc in addition to a wooden shed. At the rear, the land is enclosed with a small stone wall, beyond which is a wonderful Southerly view over farmland, currently hosting a flock of sheep. It's a delightfully peaceful location.
Approximate gross internal area: 3304 sq.ft (307sq.m)
