A spacious Grade II listed thatched cottage with gardens, flexible accommodation and considerable period character, set within the attractive hamlet of Thrupp, close to the Oxford Canal and River Cherwell.
Forming part of a historic building understood to have originated as an early 17th century watermill and miller’s cottage, 2/3 Canal Yard offers approximately 2,364 sq ft arranged over three floors. Exposed beams, brickwork, window seats and fireplaces with wood burning stoves reflect its history, while the varied layout provides space for family living, entertaining and working from home.
The ground floor centres around a particularly generous library, measuring approximately 27 ft in length, which could serve as a main reception room or a versatile family space. A separate dining room connects to the sitting room, creating distinct but connected areas for everyday living and larger gatherings.
The kitchen features an Aga and Belfast sink, complementing the cottage’s traditional character. A utility room, separate study and cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation.
Two bedrooms and two bathrooms are arranged on the first floor, alongside a spacious studio. This additional room offers flexibility as a further sitting room, workspace or potential bedroom, subject to any necessary alterations and approvals.
Two staircases lead to the second floor, where there are two further bedrooms beneath the roofline. Their layout provides options for guest accommodation, older children or separate workspaces.
Outside, the cottage has gardens to the front and rear, with side access. A range of outbuildings provides useful ancillary space for storage and hobbies, with potential for other uses subject to suitability and any necessary consents.
Currently used as holiday accommodation, the property may also appeal to purchasers considering a combination of personal use and short term letting, subject to the relevant permissions and restrictions. The adjoining 1 Canal Yard is also available, allowing purchasers to explore acquiring both properties together.
Thrupp offers a countryside setting with canal towpath walks, two public houses and Annie’s Tea Room. Nearby Kidlington provides a wide range of shops, supermarkets, schools and leisure facilities, while Oxford, Woodstock and Blenheim Palace are within reach. Oxford Parkway provides rail connections to London Marylebone.
A distinctive period home with a flexible layout and space to adapt to a range of needs.
Approximate floor area: 219.6 sq m / 2,364 sq ft.
