A five-bedroom cottage with views of the River Ray is on the market for £1.35 million.

The link-detached cottage sits on Wheatley Road in Islip, Kidlington, near Bicester, and is said to 'capture the very best of English country living'.

The house is in an elevated position and is framed by roses around the front door.

Inside, the cottage has a 'large' kitchen, dining, and family room.

The kitchen is said to be 'well appointed' with units painted in Farrow & Ball shades of Oval Room Blue and Inchyra Blue, newly laid porcelain flooring with underfloor heating, quartz worktops, and a 'large' central island hand-built with an oak worktop.

There is also a large walk-in larder, bookshelves, a dining area, and a built-in drinks cupboard.

Folding sliding doors open directly onto the patio.

The larger family room is 'spacious' and 'light-filled' with a fireplace and wood burner, alongside bespoke built-in bookshelves and storage cupboards.

French doors lead out to the patio.

There are five bedrooms and two bathrooms on the first floor.

Outside, the large garden includes two orchard areas with fruit trees including figs, plum, damson, cherry, quince, apple, and pear.

Beyond the patio and lawn, there are orchards and wooded green space.

The property is on the edge of Islip, one of Oxfordshire’s 'most desirable and historic' villages, and is around six miles from Oxford.
