In every respect, this gorgeous 2 bed cottage is in delicious decorative order, with beams and exposed stone aplenty. Tucked away through a stone arch, it is set off a pathway leading only to this and a handful of other cottages. Exquisite in every way! And NO CHAIN.

With history dating back 900 years, Souldern is one of North Oxfordshire's best kept secrets. While it is only 7 miles from Banbury, and a few minutes' drive from access to London and Birmingham, the village lies on a no-through-road in the heart of the countryside. The famous Bicester Village shopping venue is a short distance away together with further amenities in Bicester itself, from where there is a 45 minute rail service to London Marylebone. This unique village enjoys a caring community spirit, a popular pub, a church and a thriving village hall. It has its own pleasant wood a few minutes from the property and many other countryside walks nearby.

Chapel Row cottages are probably some of the oldest houses in the village. Blink and you might miss their location on the away past, so well hidden are they. A small entrance over cobbles brings you down a pedestrian walk between half a dozen cottages and their gardens. Once there the rest of the world melts away, as if traffic never existed. Number two is in particularly fine order, successive owners making it their obsession over recent years and consequently wherever you look the attention to detail is a joy. From wall timbers to stone floors, a range cooker to a large wood burner, all the lovely things are here! Just move in, and relax...

The front door opens into an elegant hall, wide enough for a table for keys, phone etc. Ahead to one side the stairs rise away from you, pleasingly well lit by the window on the landing above - and further natural light floods in from the window at the end. The stone floor under foot and beams overhead both draw you in, tempting with their character just as much as proving the standard of this property is high. On the left the cloak room is an example of excellent design, integrating exposed stone and an original window aperture with a stylish modern suite.

At the end of the corridor there are doors to either side. On the right, the kitchen is delightfully presented, with a comprehensive range of units on three sides that also include wood work surfaces. The range cooker and Belfast style sink really set the tone too - this room has been beautifully executed in a fashion that a consummate chef will appreciate. And with space for a breakfast table at the end, it is also practical for day to day life.
