3 Pear Tree Cottage, North Lane, Weston On The Green, OX25 3RG Guide price 549,950 Some houses just feel right from the front door to the back fence. That's our feeling here. Lots of modern touches combined with a sense of history. And as for that view... Weston on the Green is a small and pretty village just to the North of Oxford. A drive past gives little hint to its ancient origins which include the local church dating in part to the 12th century. Today it is well known by locals for some lovely architecture, two excellent pub/ restaurants, The Milk Shed, a highly acclaimed cafe/ restaurant, a great local store and the Weston Manor Hotel which is a business venue as well as offering "murder mystery" and other theme nights. The access to all points of the compass is exceptional via both road and rail, with Oxford, London, Birmingham and Milton Keynes all easily accessible. Schooling is also amply catered for with several primary and secondary schools locally which enjoy high Ofsted ratings. Fibre broadband is available in the village Pear Tree Cottage is one of a handful of what were probably farm workers cottages, originally built circa 18th century. In the hands of our vendors the house has been extended significantly, transforming its useability. Today the feeling is of space but with character still very much evident; where the house is original it retains its signature but where it is 21st century its style is modern - and delightfully so. The flow is great, with the old and new cleverly dovetailed, easy to use and easy to furnish. Combine this with the outside office, further outbuildings plus a large garden and great parking, and it's easy to love.

4 Pear Tree Cottage, North Lane, Weston On The Green, OX25 3RG Guide price 549,950 The vast entrance hall is a glazed, timber-framed structure with a thick timber door, the first impression of which is well thought out style. The chequerboard floor is a great feature, contrasting well with the softness of the stone and wood. Ahead, two doors open into respectively a modern cloak room and a utility cupboard space, cleverly plumbed to remove the washing machine/ drier and associated bits and bobs from the kitchen. Turning left, the kitchen opens out as a bright and modern space. Units running down the left and rear walls are topped off with an attractive timber work surface, and contain a wide range of storage, There is a stainless steel oven and hob fitted to the right plus a ceramic sink in front of the window to the garden. On the left, a peninsular incorporating a breakfast bar neatly provides separation between the kitchen and dining areas without losing the light or interaction. Beyond it, the dining space is light by virtue of glazed double doors opening onto the terrace and garden beyond. In the summer these are rarely shut, inviting maximum advantage to be taken of this lovely garden. At the front of the house, the living room occupies the oldest part. At around 18 feet wide it's a larger room than usually found in a cottage, and with windows to front and side it's also surprisingly light. The central focal point is a pretty inglenook fireplace complete with bread oven, within which a large modern wood burner is fitted, and the old window aperture to the rear now doubles as a neat recess for the TV! The stairs disappear off to the left and underneath them is a deep store cupboard. Upstairs, the landing meanders between old and new. At the front, in the older part, the first bedroom is a large double with windows to front and rear overlooking both the lane and the garden, which embellish further the considerable space. There is much character here, with the eaves and chimney breast shaping the room. Storage is amply catered for with a wardrobe in one corner and a broad shelf in the other. Next door, a smaller room is very much a double, this too overlooks the sleepy lane outside. Down the hall the modern part contains two further bedrooms. The larger is an ample double space, and a particularly fun feature is the double aspect layout including roof light windows. Its smaller neighbour is more a study/ child's room albeit with ample room for a chest, wardrobe etc in addition to a single bed. Serving all four there is a bathroom equipped with both bath and separate shower. Outside to the front, the off street parking is generous for two or three vehicles. Next to it, the stone bothy has been cleverly converted to provide a home office space with phone line and power attached. Behind it, the fence securely encloses the rear garden. Through the gate, the garden opens out with a huge feeling of space. Mainly lawned, this is a delightful and wide garden, landscaped with a terrace running the width of the rear of the house. The whole is enclosed on three sides by stone walls, and behind it the field stretches for several hundred yards, a delightful outlook. To the right, the outbuilding is substantial, large enough that it has been split to provide a large tool/ garden implement store in one side and the other could operate as a workshop or studio.
