Set on Harbury’s High Street, Phoenix House is a remarkable Grade II listed detached cottage dating back to the mid 1700’s, offering a rare opportunity to own a home steeped in history and character. From the moment you step inside, there is a clear sense of the building’s heritage, with original features and craftsmanship that have been carefully retained over time. This is a property that tells a story in every room.
The accommodation is arranged across multiple levels and offers a depth of character that is rarely found. On the ground floor, a generous family room sits at the heart of the home, showcasing exposed wooden beams, original brickwork, and a log burner, creating a space full of warmth and atmosphere. A separate living room continues this theme, featuring an inglenook fireplace and further period detailing, offering a more relaxed setting.
The dining room provides a striking and sociable space, with skylights drawing in natural light, Amtico flooring underfoot, and doors opening directly onto the garden, making it particularly well-suited to entertaining. The kitchen is equally characterful, fitted with a Rangemaster cooker, plenty of storage and complemented by stone flooring and further exposed beams.
Upstairs, the property continues to impress. The principal bedroom is a particularly special space, featuring original details and fitted storage, along with a beautifully appointed en-suite complete with a roll-top bath
Across the upper floors, there are three further double bedrooms, each with its own character and charm, enjoying views along Harbury’s High Street and offering a layout full of the quirks and individuality expected from a home of this period.
Outside, the walled garden provides a private and enclosed setting, designed for both relaxation and entertaining. Mature planting, including established wisteria, adds colour and softness, while a historic well, now covered, creates a unique focal point within the space.
Two outbuildings add further versatility, one currently used as a laundry room and the other for storage. Off-road parking for two vehicles completes the property along with EV charging.
Phoenix House is a truly individual home, combining period charm, generous space and a central village location. A rare opportunity to own a piece of Harbury’s history, offering character, lifestyle and a setting that is difficult to replicate.
