Period cottage in Oakley is sure to charm

Connells are currently selling a charming two bedroom semi-detached period property in the popular village of Oakley, which lies midway between Thame, Bicester, Oxford and Aylesbury.

The cottage has come onto the market for the first time in over fifty years and has no onward chain. Whilst it contains many original features such as wooden ceiling beams, the kitchen also includes those modern day essentials such as fitted electric oven and hob, washing machine, dishwasher and refrigerator. In addition there is a useful walk-in larder. Further accommodation includes a dining area which opens onto a lounge and family room or study, all of which have parquet style wooden floors. As well as a bathroom with a wc, washbasin and shower over the bath, there’s also a cloakroom. Both bedrooms have a built in wardrobe and storage cupboard.

Outside there are a few more surprises. In addition to a spacious, (23’10” x 14’3”) garage and workshop and off road parking for around three vehicles, there is a separate, stand alone room which would make an ideal office or a games room. And to enjoy the promised long hot summer, there is a south facing lawned garden with a patio area and ornamental pond.

Oakley is a popular village with its own excellent primary school, pre-school facilities, a garage, church and two public houses. Golfers will be in their element with no less than four courses within a six mile radius, including the Oxfordshire Golf Club. One of Oakley’s more dubious claims to fame is that in 1963 the Great Train Robbers hid out at Leatherslade Farm, just outside the village. However, on a more illustrious note, it also holds the rare, and possibly unique, distinction of being the birthplace of both a Victoria Cross and a Medal of Honour recipient.

Nearby Long Crendon, just over 3 miles away, has a wider range of facilities including shops, restaurants, a post office, doctors’ surgery and dispensary. For commuters both Haddenham & Thame Parkway station and the Oxford Park & Ride at Thornhill are approximately six miles away with access to the M40 just slightly further.
