Share of freehold & no chain Bletchingdon is a well regarded North Oxfordshire village, set on a plateau overlooking Oxford and Kidlington.

Its roots date back to Norman times, as evidenced by St Giles parish church.

The village strikes that rare balance between local amenities, a good community, lovely countryside and also easy commuting.

A recently built school and village hall are both well used by the community. The hall hosts a café plus a range of clubs and classes, and there's also a village grocery store.

Access is excellent with Oxford and Bicester close by. The village is also less than 10 minutes drive from the Oxford Parkway rail station, offering trains to London Marylebone.

And for those working from home, the broadband provided by Gigaclear in this area is one of the fastest services in the UK.

For several hundred years, the local store was, like the nearby pub, the epicentre of village life - and probably much of the village gossip.

In the late 20th century the store was converted to three rather fine apartments. Every possible scrap of character has been retained.

But in parallel, the spec now includes double glazing, efficient modern gas heating and plumbing, making it easy to use.

And as the property was originally purchased as a secondary home, most if not all the furnishing could be purchased along with the property, if desired.

As you look at the front of the building, just to the right is a gravel driveway that leads down to parking for the three apartments and their neighbour.

A few yards along, on the left there is a glazed door, inside which stairs lead to two apartments, including this one.

At the top, the entrance opens into a welcoming hallway that immediately impresses with very good natural light, and much more spacious than you might have expected.

To your left, the smaller of the bedrooms is an ample single, but with no external window, we suspect this would be more an occasional or guest room, and probably mostly used as a home office or possibly dressing room.

The larger bedroom next door is another pleasant surprise. Its proportions are impressive, and the decor is very stylish.

In addition the view through the leaded glass window to the front out across the village green is particularly attractive.

Serving both rooms, the bathroom is fitted to an impressive spec and style, and presented in excellent condition.

From this landing, stairs rise to the top floor, with a large store cupboard beneath them.

The fact that the property was once thatched is confirmed by the original timber trusses that criss-cross the vaulted ceiling of this open-plan kitchen/living space.

It is an impressive size, offering more than enough room for a suite of easy chairs to one end, a dining table in the middle, and kitchen at the opposite end.

In the kitchen part, units are intelligently arranged on three sides, yielding a lot of storage and ample preparation space from a relatively compact area.

It never feels small, and the quality of units and fitting make it all the more pleasing. And that same lovely view over the village green is ever-present through a dormer window to the front.

Outside, the building sits well back from the road, with the fine village green its main focus.

The parallel access road immediately in front only serves these few properties, hence while there is a dedicated parking space behind the building, there is also ample further parking available on the road.

It's a peaceful spot, walkable to the stores, school, and a delightful church. Mains water, gas, drainage Cherwell District Council Council tax band D £2,522-40 p.a. 2026/27 Share of freehold
