4 Bed Terraced House, Park Street, OX7

Welcome to my lovely Cotswolds home! I recently refurbished it, keeping the original beams and stone walls and adding a cosy wood burner. Enjoy the patio, the lawn and the quiet! It can sleeps 5 or 6 adults plus 2 children in 4 bedrooms. Total 8 but more comfy with fewer if you need to spread out.

It's available from January 2025 but I'm very flexible on duration/dates etc so just get in touch.  

The price listed is without bills but if you'd rather not put bills in your name I can add them on to the rent.

With easy access to Oxford, Blenheim Palace, Soho Farmhouse, Daylesford and the rest of the Cotswolds, the house is a perfect base for families, friends and sightseers. 2 mins walk to 2 gastro pubs (the Bull + the Bell), the bus, cafes and Co-op. It's a 7-minute walk to  Charlbury train station and lots of people commute to London/Oxford Reading etc from here.

The house sleeps 7 or 8  in 4 bedrooms - 2 x superking bedrooms, 1 x small double bedroom, and 1 tiny bunk bed room with two fullsize bunk beds.
