Farthynge Cottage is a Grade II listed thatched home dating back to c.1650, full of period charm yet updated for modern living. The property also includes a versatile self-contained two-bedroom annexe, ideal for guests, multi-generational living, or as a potential income stream.
The main house features a vaulted kitchen/dining room with inglenook fireplace and log burner, a study/snug and a spacious lounge with dual aspect and a second inglenook fireplace. A utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a family bathroom with separate shower.
The annexe provides a fitted kitchen, utility, cloakroom, garage with underfloor heating, a ground floor double bedroom, and an upstairs double bedroom with en-suite and walk-in wardrobe.
Electric gates open onto a driveway lined with flowering cherry trees. The garden includes level lawns, apple and pear trees, and a sheltered dining area with views across open fields.
Located on a no-through road in Newington, the cottage enjoys a peaceful rural position yet is just 9 miles from Oxford, with the M40 within 11 minutes drive providing convenient links to London, the Midlands, and the North.
What The Owner Says...
"The house really offers the best of both worlds – a quaint, pretty cottage with an open fire, combined with spacious living and dining areas, tall ceilings, and an open-plan feel. Tucked away at the end of the lane, it’s private and enjoys wonderful countryside views."
