Property Description

Waterside Cottage is a beautiful period cottage teeming with personality and characterful features. Set alongside the village brook, and with The Lion eatery and public house in view, the location is excellent for those who enjoy village life but wish to remain connected.

Property Details

Waterside Cottages comprises a terrace of traditional village houses of Georgian origin. The characterful end of terrace property offers three double bedrooms, a study/dressing room, two/three reception rooms, a kitchen, private front and rear gardens and large garage.

The ground floor has an open-plan feel with vintage glazed doors and large windows giving natural light from multiple aspects. The main reception room serves as a sitting room, accessible via the front door and newly fitted rear patio doors and gives views of both front and rear gardens.

The property benefits from oil central heating and radiators throughout and a vintage fireplace houses a log-burning stove for additional heating. Natural Slate flooring extends throughout the ground floor complimenting its natural slate roof. The second reception room faces the front of the property and currently functions as a dining room with integrated storage. The kitchen overlooks the rear garden and provides space for appliances, base and wall units, and counter surfaces.

The landing provides access to all upper-floor rooms and access to a boarded loft with light. There are three double bedrooms and a study/dressing room with a quirky port hole window located upstairs, with two front facing bedrooms, one offering potential for a further dressing area. The bathroom features a four-piece suite and dual windows.

The property sits back from the road with established trees providing privacy. Access is via Church Lane and a shared pathway serving four front gardens. A private front garden leads to the main entrance. Rear pedestrian access connects to Church Lane and large garage with side pedestrian access. The rear garden features a stone wall to one side and newly fitted timber fence to the other and includes a lawned area culminating in a seating area, gravel path with further seating area, raised timber beds, and mature planting including established trees and shrubs.
The property features a mature Bay tree near the back door suitable for culinary use, with evening primrose flowering beneath it. A damson tree is located near the designated dog area. The raised beds contain various herbs, shrubs, and fruit trees including apples, plums, pears, and quince, alongside heritage roses that produce rosehips. All plantings are maintained organically and many varieties are selected for their edible properties, supporting home production of jams and chutneys.

The garden supports diverse wildlife including nesting birds of various species, with the front garden regularly visited by hedgehogs, foxes, squirrels, doves, and occasional deer. The village offers allotments at approximately £50 annually and maintains an active community centred around the village hall, which hosts Women's Institute meetings, gardening club activities, and other social events. Residents receive a monthly community magazine featuring local news and activities.

Wendlebury is a quiet and established village featuring a 13th century church and 17th century public house that is highly regarded for great food. While the village is tucked away it offers exceptional access to many places via both road and rail, especially Bicester with its 40-minute mainline London service as well as world-renowned retail outlet at Bicester village.
