Banbury Road, Woodstock, OX20

Adorned with period character and sympathetically modernised throughout, creating an effortless marriage between old and new, Holly Berry Cottage is a beautiful home, just a short walk from the centre of Woodstock’s historical market town and its plethora of amenities, including shops, cafes, pubs, restaurants, art galleries and World Heritage site, Blenheim Palace and it’s 2000 acres of parkland.

Set back from the road behind a stone wall and a (circa) 60ft front garden, once inside there’s a handy entrance porch leading to the main dual aspect reception where you are immediately greeted by period charm with a modern touch. There’s an AGA woodburning stove, an exposed brick and stone chimney stack, timber beams overhead, modern timber herringbone flooring, cast iron radiators and many sympathetic updates that can be seen throughout the home.

The wonderfully presented kitchen/breakfast room is position to the rear of the plan with underfloor heating, timber worktops, ‘shaker’ style cabinetry, tiled flooring, a butlers sink and Rangemaster induction cooker.  French doors welcome an excellent quality of natural light into the space and open to the attractive rear garden. The underfloor heating and floor tiles continue into the ground floor shower room that doubles as a utility area.

On the first floor, there’s a principal bedroom with vaulted ceilings, oak flooring and exposed stone and timber beams. There are two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom where a large rolltop bath forms a central focus with a Velux window overhead.

Externally, there’s a front garden with large lawn, mature borders, trees and shrubs. The rear garden has side access, a patio area off the house with a timber pergola, a lawn, raised beds and a storage shed.
