Lots of character, set well back from the village road and looking towards fields opposite.

Middle Barton is one of three linked Barton villages approximately 7 miles from Woodstock, dating back to pre-Norman times. Between them they offer a range of facilities including pubs, a mini-market and cafe, a garage and a post office. The village has extensive sporting facilities and a childrens playground. The primary school is within easy walking distance, and it is exceptionally well regarded. While rural and very much tucked away, the village is well placed amongst other charming North Oxfordshire Cotswold locations such as Great Tew and Duns Tew. Commutability is easy. Lower Heyford station is a short distance away with connections to Oxford, London (Paddington), Banbury and Birmingham (New Street). Oxford Parkway Station, in nearby Kidlington, has direct connections to London (Marylebone) via Bicester. A local bus service circulates around the nearby villages.

Apple Tree Cottage is a surprisingly large three bedroom period cottage still containing many pretty original features. The living spaces are generous, with very good natural light, and the whole house has a very relaxed feeling about it.

The front door opens into an internal porch, leading into the kitchen. This is a bright space, generously stocked with units on four sides - one of which is a peninsula. Farmhouse-style with wood tops, it also features a range cooker and a double butler sink. To the right, the living room is an exceptionally good size at nearly 30 feet long, with beams throughout, and a hidden staircase behind a door on the left. In the pretty Inglenook fireplace there is a wood burner, and the window seat next to it overlooks the front. At the rear, the conservatory/ sun room is large and light, with double doors opening onto the garden. Here there is more than ample space for both seating and dining. Off to the right is a shower room, and on the opposite side is a laundry room.

Upstairs, all three bedrooms are surprisingly generous. The stairs from the living room lead up to a small landing off which is the bathroom. A characterful and generous space, to one end is an easy chair and chest of drawers, and at the other a roll top bath and suite. Next door, a large bedroom features pretty ceiling trusses as well as a window seat. A door to the right leads to another bedroom, this time equipped with fitted wardrobes. Next door, the second staircase rises from the kitchen, providing access to a bedroom either side of the landing, with the third bedroom a good double and overlooking the frontage.

Outside to the front the gravelled parking area is generous, providing space for at least three cars. There is a bin store to the side as well as a range of border plants. Behind the house, the landscaped garden is attractive with a seating area beyond which is a lawn flanked by various mature trees. It's very secluded and peaceful.
