" An attractive period cottage with four bedrooms and two receptions, in one of the area's most unspoilt hamlets, just a few miles from Bicester/ London rail/ M40.

Caulcott is unspoilt and tucked away, and very little ever comes up for sale. This is a delightful and affordable way into the hamlet. Naturally as we are based in Caulcott, we are biased! But it's hard to argue with our reasons for enjoying the village. Surrounded by farmland, it's one of the last unspoilt villages off the beaten track, which is a surprise as it is so well located with two London-bound stations and two M40 junctions within a ten minute drive. The local pub is also a delight, small and charming, serving great food and drink to an exceptional standard (voted CAMRA pub of the year, and nominated for the Parliamentary Chef of the Year award) - check out http://www.horseandgroomcaulcott.co.uk. The local walks and scenery are wonderful, the community lovely and relaxed, and there are few if any downsides as any amenities not within the village can be found within just a few miles drive. 86 South street started off life in the 19th century as one of a terrace of three traditional stone cottages. It subsequently grew with the addition of an extension that has made all the difference to the accommodation. Our clients have continued to improve it, opening up the kitchen as well as improving bathrooms. Today it's a really very roomy cottage with good natural light and an excellent flow, making it easy to use while still retaining the beams and fireplace so beloved of those of us who relish character houses. The main door is to the left of the house, the rear of the parking. This opens into a light, open and characterful kitchen and dining space which is instantly inviting. To the left the units stretch round two sides, modern and stylish and also equipped with integrated electrical goods including a stainless double oven and a fridge/ freezer. With bifold doors onto the terrace this room encourages summer dining outside in the garden, and the light from here is great, while the sink is placed in front of the rear window that overlooks the garden. At the front of this same space is the dining area. Again, it's light with sources of light on three sides, and being in the older part of the house it features attractive beams overhead. The space is surprisingly good, ideal for a table and chairs with room to spare. Glazed double doors that our clients hardly ever shut open into the living room, which is a generous size. To the rear sliding doors open onto the same terrace as the kitchen, beyond which the garden is also visible. Beams overhead along with a woodburner provide a lovely, cozy feeling, and the space is ample for a large suite. At the foot of the stairs, there is also both a cloak room and a utility cupboard. Upstairs, there are four bedrooms. The master is spacious and light, with ample space for a good suite of furniture. To the rear the outlook across the garden and through the trees to the fields beyond is very pleasant. Bedrooms two and three are both attractive and well proportioned, with the roof eaves gently sloping at the very edge adding further character. The smallest of the four is more than able to accommodate a double bed alongside a chest, as it is set up today, or ideal as a study. Serving all four is a modern, well appointed bathroom with a stylish suite and travertine tiling. In addition there is also a shower room adjacent to the master bedroom. Outside to the front the house is separated from the lane by a small strip of grass with various flowering and climbing plants. The parking to the left is wide and can accommodate one large vehicle, however if desired it should be possible to extend this rearwards if further space were required. Here the side access is paved and provides ideal bin/ bike etc storage, and beyond it the paving runs to the right, round the house and to the terrace between the kitchen and sitting room. The garden is pretty, mature and relaxed with various trees and a planted border running round three sides of a lawn. At the rear the garden is enclosed by a stone wall, and beyond this are trees and fields. Directions Bicester 6 miles
