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.

It's available from the end of November but I'm very flexible on duration/dates etc so just get in touch.  

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.

Do get in touch if you'd like to discuss discounts for stays longer than a week.

The house sleeps 7 in 3 bedrooms - 1 x superking bedroom, 1 x small double bedroom, and 1 tiny bunk bed room.

More about the house

My house is a pretty, stone cottage (built around 1900). It's in a terraced row of similar stone cottages. It has three floors/levels.

The living space is perfect for entertaining a group or family. It's large and open plan (have a look at the floor plan), with a lovely cosy wood burning stove, large oak table with seating for 8 (actually, we've managed 10) and two large sofas.

From the house it's also more or less 5 minutes' walk to:
- the 3 local pubs, including the lovely Bull Inn (recently bought and refurbished by Pelican from Notting Hill, London), the Bell Inn (recently bought and refurbished by Lady Bamford (of Daylesford Organics fame), and the award-winning Rose and Crown pub (for ales etc - not for food)
- Charlbury train station (trains to Oxford and London in just over an hour, and Malvern, and in the other direction to Moreton-in-Marsh, Worcester etc)

Upstairs you'll find 4 bedrooms:

- three double bedrooms. Two have superking beds, i.e. 6 ft (183cm) wide zip-and-link, and the third is a smallish double bed (4 ft 6") so that's very cosy for a couple or very comfy for single person.

-one bunk bed room, so that sleeps 2 children or light adults

- The bathroom has a large walk in shower, basin, WC and underfloor heating (porcelain floor).

- bathroom 2 is a WC on the ground floor.
