Walnut Tree Cottage, Wootton Village, Boars Hill, OX1 5HP

The heart of the home is the expansive living room, defined by a brick inglenook fireplace and timber beams. A large bay window floods the space with light, flowing naturally into the extended kitchen and dining area. This contemporary hub features a wraparound breakfast bar and integrated appliances. At the rear, a versatile sitting room serves as a snug or office, doubling as a practical utility space with direct garden access.

The first floor hosts three bedrooms centred around a landing with a linen cupboard. The primary bedroom is a well-proportioned double featuring a private ensuite shower room. Two additional bedrooms showcase historic timber framing, offering unique charm. These rooms are served by a modern family bathroom with a contemporary suite that beautifully contrasts the home’s aged textures.

A staircase leads to a versatile attic room, currently used as a large fourth bedroom. Stretching nearly 20 feet, this space is tucked under the eaves with striking exposed beams. While head height is restricted in areas, its generous proportions make it an ideal teenager’s den, hobby room, or secluded study.

The property sits on a substantial plot emphasizing its rural setting. The front garden is a picturesque lawn enclosed by a stone wall with a weeping willow. A side driveway provides parking for four vehicles. The west-facing rear garden is a true highlight, backing onto uninterrupted fields for exceptional privacy. This space is designed for entertaining, featuring a lawn, timber pergola with lighting, and a hot tub area.

Nestled in the heart of the Oxfordshire countryside at the foot of Boars Hill, Wootton is a sought-after village that perfectly balances quintessential rural charm with modern convenience.

Its prime location offers the best of both worlds: immediate access to stunning woodland walks and panoramic views across the Oxford skyline, while remaining just three miles from the historic market town of Abingdon.

For the modern commuter, Wootton’s connectivity is unrivalled. The village provides swift access to the A34, linking easily to the M4 and M40, while nearby Didcot Parkway offers high-speed rail links reaching London Paddington in under 40 minutes.
