Beckley, Oxford, OX3 9SR

A semi-detached cottage, approached via a private driveway shared with just four neighbouring properties, 1 Lodge Farm Cottage sits in a peaceful, secluded position alongside a woodland.

As the ground rises, the large garden and well-kept lawn, bordered by mature trees and hedgerows, gives way to views overlooking fields and woods where wildlife is abundant.

The gravelled driveway provides parking for several cars with a garage below which, whilst not used for some years, offers scope for restoration or additional storage.

This home is offered with no onward chain.

The house has been thoughtfully maintained throughout and presents beautifully both inside and out, offering light, airy accommodation that makes the most of its rural outlook.

Sash and casement windows throughout the ground floor open on to the garden filling the principal rooms with natural light. The accommodation is arranged with flexibility in mind.

On the ground floor a small but welcoming entrance hall leads through to a separate dining room, a generous living room beyond benefits from two separate sets of French doors overlooking the garden.

The well-proportioned kitchen/breakfast room with French windows leads to a small courtyard.

A ground-floor bedroom with adjacent shower room offers valuable flexibility, ideal as a guest suite or home office.

There are two double bedrooms upstairs, one of which has an en-suite bathroom and a small single bedroom brings the total to four bedrooms across the house.
