Sympathetically converted from two cottages some years ago, The Common Cottage lies at the end of a long shared driveway. Built of stone under a tiled roof, the house has lots of good period features and character, and would make an excellent family home or a holiday cottage.
The ground floor sitting/dining room has a bay window and a cast iron fireplace with a wooden surround which opens onto the kitchen, which is vaulted and well fitted-out with wooden units and worktops. Other reception rooms include the smaller sitting room and the study. Upstairs the large landing gives access to storage cupboards, four double bedrooms and a family bathroom.
Accommodation in total comprises: entrance hall, cloakroom, sitting/dining room, kitchen, inner hall, second sitting room, study, shower room, four double bedrooms and the family bathroom.

Nearby Langford and Clanfield provide excellent pubs, primary schools and parish churches, while Burford is nine miles, and Oxford 22 miles away.
The guide price is £675,000. For further information please contact Jackson-Stops & Staff on 01993 822661 or visit www.jackson-stops.co.uk.
