4 Bed Detached House For Sale

THE OLD SMITHY A delightful four-bedroom detached family home, The Old Smithy offers spacious, well-proportioned accommodation set within a generous plot in the sought-after South Oxfordshire village of Little Milton. The property is set back from the village road behind the original 19th-century stone smithy from which it takes its name.

Ideally located within walking distance of the popular village pub and restaurant, The Lamb, as well as the local primary school, post office and shop, the property also benefits from excellent transport links - Junction 7 of the M40 is just a five-minute drive, and Oxford city centre is around 20 minutes away.

The accommodation is arranged over two floors and flows from a welcoming entrance hall with guest cloakroom through to a light-filled sitting room featuring a log burner and French doors opening onto a conservatory overlooking the rear garden. Across the hall, the kitchen is fitted with a breakfast bar, range cooker, integrated dishwasher, and provides side access to the garden. Two further reception rooms - currently a dining room and snug - provide flexible living space, ideal for a playroom, home office, or family room.

Upstairs, the generous landing leads to four bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en suite shower room and views over the rear garden. One of the additional bedrooms includes a dressing/study area, and there is a recently updated family bathroom with bath and separate shower.

Outside, the property is surrounded by a front lawned garden and a particularly generous enclosed rear garden with established shrubs and hedging, creating an ideal setting for children, pets, and outdoor entertaining with two terraced areas.

To the front, the property is accessed via a shared driveway providing ample parking. The detached stone outbuilding (The Old Smithy) extends to about 630 sq. ft and is currently used as a double garage/workshop, offering excellent potential for conversion (subject to the necessary consents).

The Old Smithy is a great village home - ideal for families, upsizers, or downsizers seeking village life within easy reach of Oxford and London.
