Description

Nestled in the serene hamlet of Taston, near Chipping Norton, the lovely detached cottage known as Firkins is a blend of historical allure and modern amenities, perfect for those looking at a comfortable lifestyle amidst the tranquility of the countryside. This four-bedroom property, constructed in the early 1800s and now a Grade II listed building, captures the essence of rural charm with its architectural features and scenic surroundings.

Firkins offers a sizeable living space of 263 square meters, making it an ideal residence for families or anyone seeking a spacious country home. As you enter through the original porch doors, you are greeted by a welcoming living room brimming with character. The room features a stunning fireplace with a stone surround and rich exposed wooden beams that echo the cottage's historical roots. Adjacent to this space is a garden room, a delightful area with windows on two sides, providing enchanting views of the lush gardens and flooding the space with natural light.

The heart of this home is its kitchen, a harmonious blend of tradition and modern functionality, equipped with a Rangemaster oven and an integrated dishwasher. This space is perfect for family meals or entertaining guests. Also on the ground floor, you'll find a cozy snug that could serve as a quiet study, a practical boot room suitable for additional storage needs, a utility room, and a conveniently located toilet.

Ascend the carpeted stairs, and the split landing opens to a double bedroom with built-in storage and further leads to three more generously-sized double bedrooms. Each bedroom features unique characteristics adding to the home’s quaint charm. The availability of both a family bathroom and a separate shower room meets the needs of a bustling family life.

The external features of Firkins are just as impressive. A gravelled drive leads to a gated parking area alongside a three-bay garage with an upper room, ideal for a home office or studio. The surrounding gardens are meticulously maintained, featuring rose gardens, a vegetable patch, and space for a greenhouse. Sheltered by traditional Cotswold stone walls, these gardens offer privacy and stunning views of the adjacent countryside.

Living in Taston means embracing the quiet life, with all the essentials still conveniently close by. The neighboring town of Charlbury, just two miles away, provides local amenities like shops, a medical practice, and even direct train services to London Paddington. The community is vibrant with local pubs and proximity to attractions like Soho Farmhouse and Daylesford Organic Farm Shop & Spa.

For families, the area is not short of educational opportunities with primary schools available in nearby towns and prestigious secondary schools in Oxford, which is also laden with cultural and historical significance.

The climate here presents a typical English weather pattern, with pleasant, mild summers offering the perfect weather to enjoy the outdoors and cold, sometimes snowy winters that transform the landscape into a picturesque winter scene.

Firkins presents as a delightful family home with a suggestion of renovation to tailor the spaces to personal preference or modernization wants. It's a home that promises the charm of country living without forgoing the conveniences of modern amenities and access to urban life. It is a perfect match for expats or overseas buyers seeking a tranquil lifestyle with a sense of community and heritage.
