Rose Cottage is a refined period house set within the heart of Middle Aston, one of north Oxfordshire’s most appealing villages. Enjoying a discreet position and a strong sense of privacy, the house combines architectural integrity with a highly practical arrangement of accommodation. Constructed of natural stone under a slate roof and presented with considerable care, the cottage has an understated presence that sits comfortably within its surroundings. Modern finishes combine well with period features including fireplaces, exposed timbers, window seats and flagstone flooring. The interior has been sensitively arranged to retain the house’s character while providing well proportioned, light filled rooms suited to modern living. Principal reception spaces are both welcoming and composed, offering flexibility for everyday use and entertaining, while the kitchen is well positioned as the functional centre of the house, with views over the garden. From the kitchen is the former washhouse, since converted and extended to provide versatile accommodation with two bedrooms, shower room and study. The ground floor layout is adaptable and would therefore create a granny/guest annexe. Bedroom accommodation is calm and well balanced, creating a quietly comfortable atmosphere throughout. Materials and finishes have been chosen with restraint, allowing the proportions and natural light to define the spaces. The gardens are a notable feature, primarily walled and laid to lawn with mature borders and areas for seating. They particularly provide an attractive and private setting that feels integral to the house, all combining to create a garden of scale and usability, with a distinctly established feel.
