Sitting in the picturesque hamlet of Taston, Chipping Norton, just two miles from Charlbury, Firkins is a charming four-bedroom detached cottage that blends historical charm with modern convenience. Built in the early 1800s, this Grade II listed property has been thoughtfully extended over the years to enhance its living space and functionality.
A welcoming porch with original doors, invites you into the heart of the home. The living room with oodles of warmth and character, features a beautiful fireplace with stone surround, and exposed wood beams.
Adjacent to the living room, the garden room is a bright and airy room with windows covering two sides, offering views of the gardens. Doors lead you into the well-appointed kitchen which is a perfect blend of traditional style with modern appliances, boasting a range master oven, and an integrated dishwasher. The windows flood the space with natural light, creating a delightful environment for cooking and dining.
Additionally, the ground floor includes a cosy snug which would also make a perfect space for a study, a practical boot room with space for a fridge freezer, a utility room equipped with plumbing for a washing machine and dryer, and a sink. A convenient WC and a side door complete the ground floor.
Carpeted stairs split and one way leads you to a double bedroom with built in storage and the other to a spacious and light landing, with beautifully crafted storage cupboards featuring handmade doors and iron fixings. There are three further generously sized double bedrooms, each with their own unique charm. A family bathroom and a separate shower room cater to the needs of a modern family.
The outside space is equally impressive with a gravelled gated driveway leading to parking for several vehicles, and a three-bay garage that includes a room above with lighting, power and internal data cabling for wi-fi, perfect for a home office or studio. The beautifully maintained gardens feature lawns and terraces, rose gardens and a vegetable patch. There is space for a greenhouse and a shed, and the gardens are enclosed by traditional Cotswold stone walls, with views of open countryside and benefit from exceptional privacy.
