The property has been sympathetically enlarged and refurbished by the current owners, yet still provides scope for further extension if so desired.

Period features include exposed stone walls, original fireplaces and quarry tiled floors. The recent refurbishment includes a handmade kitchen with granite work surfaces, feature cherry wood staircase, travertine flagstones and contemporary bathroom fittings. A 27 foot fully converted attic room, currently used as a home office but suitable for a variety of uses, completes the accommodation. A detached, stone double garage also provides scope for development.

DESCRIPTION    The mature cottage garden is a highlight, with feature planting and a flagstone dining terrace. Enclosed by stone walls and woven hazel fencing, the garden is not overlooked and enjoys a south westerly facing aspect, perfect for summer entertaining.

SITUATION    Frilford is a prestigious, semi-rural village with superb road and transport links via the A420 and A34 (leading to M40/M4) approximately three miles from Abingdon and eight miles from Oxford. Excellent rail links are accessed from Oxford and Didcot Parkway with fast trains to London Paddington in under 45 minutes. Additionally, superfast fibre optic broadband is available to the area.
The village includes practical shopping, excellent schooling and leisure facilities. A recently refitted Budgens store and petrol-station offers convenience shopping whilst Millet's Farm Centre - a renowned visitor attraction - features a farm shop with specialist grocery, bakery, fishmongers, butchery, wine and delicatessen concessions. The complex also includes a garden centre, gift shop, two restaurants and extensive children's playground/animal farm.
Independent schooling can be found at 'Josca's', Abingdon Preparatory School, located in the centre of the village. Alternatively, Frilford also falls within the catchment for the highly regarded Marcham Primary school, rated 'good' by Ofsted. The two villages are connected by a designated footpath, located almost opposite the property.
Nearby attractions include the university city of Oxford and the historic riverside town of Abingdon. The Cotswolds, Kingston Bagpuize House and gardens, Cothill National Nature Reserve and Farmoor reservoir for sailing, water skiing and fishing are within a short drive.
