This is Florrie's Cottage, a truly stunning and unique, Grade II listed, detached stone cottage, thought to date back to Tudor times. Standing in the Conservation Area of this coveted village in South Oxfordshire, the cottage sits within an award-winning walled garden, adding to the wonderful sense of charm and tranquillity that the property exudes throughout.

From the entrance porch you enter the beamed main reception room with its inglenook fireplace and wood-burning stove. This flows into the quaint dining area and the spacious modern kitchen. A generous utility room also offers the benefit of a downstairs W.C, sink and shower. A charming cosy snug completes the ground floor. The stairs lead up to two good bedrooms, a freshly-refurbished bathroom, and above, to two areas of loft storage.

Across from the house, the original garage has been converted into a fabulous sun-filled vaulted office which could equally be used as a studio or garden room. The outdoor space also offers a sheltered patio area, a garden store with additional loft, and off-street parking behind electric gates. A charming gazebo catches the afternoon sun, surrounded by roses and lavender.

Florrie's Cottage is bursting with historic character and original features throughout, like its exposed beams, former village bake-oven and garden well. Yet it has been carefully brought into the modern world, and meticulously cared for and presented by its current owner. It is ready to move into and enjoy!

Set in the valley of the River Ock, Marcham offers the best of both worlds: Easy access to Abingdon and Oxford as well as close proximity to delightful countryside. Marcham itself is a thriving village, known for its friendly sense of community; local amenities include a primary school, an active church, a volunteer-run Post Office and village shop, open 7 days a week, and Denman College. A new village community and sports centre is currently under construction.

Abingdon and Oxford are the nearest towns for secondary schools, leisure facilities and high street shopping. Both are known for their excellent schooling and history. For those commuting daily or weekly, Marcham is well placed for stations at Didcot Parkway, Oxford, Radley and Culham. There is an hourly bus service from Marcham to Abingdon and Oxford. The village also enjoys fast broadband speeds.
