Cottage for sale in Stream Road, Upton OX11

A charming Grade II listed period cottage offering remarkably practical and well-appointed accommodation in a wonderful, peaceful location tucked-away on a no-through lane within this pretty and sought-after village.

Old Stream Cottage is believed to date from the early 19th century (Historic England) and was later extended to create a delightful character home featuring a beamed sitting room with an impressive brick inglenook fireplace, complete with a stylish wood pellet-fired stove/boiler and a good sized dining space, which opens through to a bright, well laid out kitchen with solid timber work surfaces and a slate floor. The property has been thoughtfully updated over recent years in an artisan style with distressed boarded floors and wall features, rustic latch doors and a stocked cottage garden. These elements contrast with contemporary bathroom and en-suite washroom fittings, custom-made double-glazed timber windows and the environmentally friendly high-tech wood pellet central heating system.
