Property description
A period stone under tile four bedroom detached cottage with gated driveways, gardens and an attached stone barn with a first floor in part, in a village location.
Lilac Cottage extends to approximately 1,850 sq. ft. in the main house, not including the over 400 sq. ft. barn. The cottage accommodation includes an entrance hall, a sitting room, a study, a kitchen/dining room and a ground floor cloakroom. There are three first floor bedrooms with a family bathroom and a ground floor vaulted principal bedroom with en suite bathroom. The property retains many original features, including exposed beams and a stone fireplace. Vaulted bedroom one overlooks the central paved courtyard and has a modern four piece en suite comprising a WC, a wash basin, freestanding bath, and walk-in shower cubicle. There are three further double bedrooms on the first floor and a family bathroom with a three piece suite including a corner bath.
Reception Rooms and Kitchen
The triple aspect sitting room has exposed beams, a stone window seat, and an inglenook style fireplace with an inset canopy and a lintel above. There is a walk-through study area as you approach bedroom one and an open plan kitchen/dining room, with a range of base and wall units, an electric oven, and a hob with an extractor fan over.
Outside
At the back of the property, two sets of double gates lead to gravelled and blocked paved driveways, providing off street parking for three cars. This also gives access to the stone barn which has potential for further development, subject to the necessary consents. There is an existing staircase to a mezzanine floor in part. The gardens are low maintenance with a combination of gravel and paved areas, and borders.
Situation and Schooling
Farthinghoe has a parish church, village hall, a pub, and a primary school which was rated outstanding by Ofsted at its last inspection. Other local schools include Winchester House School and Magdalen College School, both in Brackley, Akeley Wood School in Buckingham and Stowe School. Brackley is nearby and there is a range of shops including Tesco and Waitrose. Leisure facilities include play parks and a library and there are also GP and dental surgeries.
