Lavender Cottage is a substantial detached family house in an enviable position with no passing traffic at the end of a small bespoke development of only five properties. Built of Cotswold stone under a tiled roof, the house enjoys an idyllic and quiet edge of village setting. One of just five individual detached properties constructed on a former farmyard in 2017, designed to echo the surrounding traditional period buildings in the area yet offering contemporary levels of space and comfort.

This four bedroom family house has versatile accommodation with a fifth bedroom or annexe /home office/gym above the double garage. The main reception rooms are light and spacious with generous ceiling heights. The layout out is not only welcoming with a wide hall, but the drawing room is 19 ft long with an adjoining garden room, which is a further 9ft wide leading into the garden and revealing the view from the drawing room. Also leading off the hall is a separate dining room with French doors to the garden. There is a study adjoining the impressive kitchen/ breakfast room which is open plan to the family room, in total this area is 36ft long creating a marvellous space.

The fabulous kitchen/breakfast/family room is very much the hub of the house with delightful views over the garden and fields beyond. The stylish kitchen has multiple wall and base units under a sandstone worktop. There are state-of-the-art appliances, including a gas range cooker, double oven, an integrated fridge freezer and dishwasher, plus a generous number of wine coolers. The current owners have made several improvements to the kitchen and other parts of the house.


Situated on the edge of Shipton-under-Wychwood – a thriving village set in the rolling Cotswold countryside of the Evenlode vale, between Burford and Chipping Norton.

Within the village are four excellent public houses, a post office with a shop, a large modern village hall, a doctors' surgery and a pharmacy with a library.

There are sports clubs for bowls, football, cricket and tennis, as well as several social clubs, societies and volunteer groups. The new village hall, opened in 1998, actively hosts everything from badminton to bridge clubs and Yoga lessons.

There are regular bus services from within the village, and a local train station. More regular services are available on the same line from Charlbury and Kingham.

Schooling in the area is excellent, with a primary school serving both Shipton and Milton-under-Wychwood and a further well-regarded independent preparatory school in the nearby village of Ascot-under-Wychwood. There is a range of public and private schools within easy access, including St. Edward's, Magdalen College and Headington Girls at Oxford, as well as Radley near Abingdon.

Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
