Magdalen Cottage offers country living in an unspoilt, peaceful surrounding, yet is close enough to larger towns should the desire to leave the idyll arise.
Occupying a quiet spot in the heart of the west Oxfordshire village of Standlake, not far from Witney, Sunny Magdalen Cottage dates to the 14th century, with various later additions.
The pretty, ‘vintage style’ cottage is currently on the market via Jackson-Stops for £895,000 and offers the chance to fully submerge yourself in the best that country living has to offer, whilst still located within great reach of the local market-town of Whitney and the larger towns of Oxford and Abingdon.
The accommodation provides plenty of charm and traditional style, with exposed ceiling timbers, flag-stone flooring, and a woodburner in the sitting room will warm the nights as they start to draw in.
There’s also a conservatory and four bedrooms, including a master accessed via a wooden spiral staircase.
Outside, lawns and patio overlook fields and the vegetable garden is well stocked — all in all, a classic little bucolic dream.
