Telephone Box Cottages are two truly unique and stunning new homes that have been individually designed by a boutique developer who puts quality at the heart of everything they do.

Situated in the heart of the achingly pretty Oxfordshire village of Kingstone Winslow, these gorgeous houses have been designed to blend in effortlessly with the ‘chocolate box’ character of the village and take their place at the heart of the community. Traditional brick and flint construction with cedar and larch cladding ensures these homes fit in with the character of the village, whilst the luxury interiors with high quality fixtures and fittings are perfectly designed for easy, modern living.

The two homes: Apple Tree Cottage and Telephone Box Cottage, are mirror images of each other, yet each has been individually designed to create two unique homes. Downstairs has been designed to offer effortless open plan living with an easy flow to the rooms. The family will congregate around the large central island in the stunning kitchen for drinks and dinner, and you’ll throw open the bifold doors onto the patio in the summer to enjoy the sunshine in the south facing garden. When it comes to cupboard space, appliances and layout, this kitchen offers all you could wish for including a double oven (including steam oven) with induction hob, huge American-style fridge/freezer, and integrated dishwasher. There’s also a spacious utility room just off the kitchen with a back door you can enter through with muddy boots and children.

The cosy sitting room also offers access to the back garden through patio doors, elegant wooden floors and a traditional wood-burning stove. Heating is provided through zoned underfloor heating throughout the house.

Walking up the stunning glass central staircase you’ll find a wide and light landing with four incredibly spacious double bedrooms leading off it. The master bedroom suite is our absolute favourite: Designed to make the most of the uninterrupted views over open countryside, the master bedroom has a feature ‘cathedral’ style window that will take your breath away. We can only imagine how wonderful it would be to wake up to that view every morning! There’s acres of space for all your clothes and a wonderfully private ensuite bathroom with huge walk-in shower.

There is a generously sized double guest room with ensuite bathroom, plus two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom upstairs.

Each cottage has its own, private gravel driveway and double garage with wooden doors. To the rear, both properties have pretty south facing lawned gardens with patio area leading off the kitchen.

Location

There’s a lovely rural feel to this village, and a great community, yet you’re not too far from access to Oxford, Swindon, the M4 and the towns of Shrivenham with its lovely tree-lined high street, and the market town of Faringdon with its shops, restaurants and leisure centre, plus a new Waitrose supermarket!

Faringdon Community College is rated ofsted ‘Outstanding’ and there’s a great choice of private schools nearby including St Hugh’s, The Dragon, Cokethorpe, St Edward’s Headington and Radley.
