Set within the heart of the conservation village of Farthinghoe, this substantial and beautifully presented residence offers approximately 3,262 sq ft of accommodation arranged across four floors, combining historic character, generous proportions and a wonderfully flexible layout. The current owners were originally drawn to Oak Cottage for its rare blend of period charm, spacious rooms, natural light and adaptability. They were also looking for a village setting with a public house and strong transport connections, and Oak Cottage offered all of this in abundance. Over the past 12 years, they have enhanced the home thoughtfully, creating a property that feels both full of history and well suited to modern family living. The house has a wonderful sense of atmosphere throughout, with characterful details that reflect its age and heritage. The original Hornton stone fireplace within the living room is a particularly beautiful focal point, adding warmth, texture and authenticity to the space. Across the home, the proportions are generous, the rooms are full of personality, and the layout allows for a variety of uses depending on the needs of the next owner. The kitchen is a standout feature of the home, having been fitted with a bespoke Wren kitchen by the current owners. Designed to be both practical and elegant, it offers an inviting space for everyday family life, cooking and entertaining. An Aga adds to the country home feel, while the surrounding layout provides excellent flow and flexibility. The owners have also added a new staircase leading to the kitchen, further improving the way the home is used day to day. Additional improvements include a remodelled utility room and pantry, creating valuable storage and practical working space, along with the installation of a new bathroom on the second floor. These upgrades have been carefully considered, enhancing comfort and functionality while remaining sympathetic to the character of the property. The reception spaces provide a wonderful choice of rooms for relaxing, hosting and working from home. Whether used as formal sitting rooms, family spaces, dining areas or quiet retreats, the accommodation offers the kind of flexibility that is increasingly rare to find, particularly within a home of this age and scale. Across the upper floors, Oak Cottage offers four well-proportioned bedrooms and three bathrooms, making it ideal for families, visiting guests or those wanting additional space to work from home. The arrangement across multiple levels gives the property a lovely sense of separation and versatility, allowing different parts of the home to be used independently when required. The Garden Outside, the garden is one of the features the owners have particularly loved. Arranged in two distinct parts, it has a wonderful sense of character and individuality, offering separate areas for outdoor dining, relaxation and enjoying the changing seasons. With a west to north-west aspect, the garden benefits from attractive morning, afternoon and evening light. The mature feel of the outside space complements the age and charm of the house beautifully. To the front, there is driveway parking for up to three vehicles, a valuable feature within such an established village position.
