Property information

Welcome to my charming first floor annexe above my home, nestled in a peaceful village 5 miles from Soho Farmhouse. Head upstairs onto the bright landing with dining/workspace area. The living room with kitchenette has all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay. Relax in the cosy king-size bedroom with separate bathroom completing the picture. Ideal for couples looking for a quiet break or contractors wanting a peaceful work stay with access to local attractions and transport links. The apartment is accessed via your own private entrance located at street level. Head through the front door with stairs leading straight up into the apartment - there's even your own private downstairs loo on the left! Upstairs, the living room features 2 comfy armchairs and Smart TV with all the usual streaming apps (subscriptions required). The kitchenette area is ideal for cooking essentials with a combi oven/microwave, dual electric hob, fridge (with ice box), kettle & toaster. On the landing there's a separate dining area for two with Velux window above, filling the space with natural light, which also makes a perfect spot for home working. At the end of the landing is the cosy king-size bedroom with blackout blinds, offering a chest of drawers and coat rack for storage. There is additional hanging storage in the hallway cupboard for your convenience. The separate full-size bathroom boasts a bath with large rain shower overhead, sink & WC. Although there is no private outdoor space at the apartment, just across the road is a lovely large grassy park with benches for you to sit and enjoy during the day or on warmer evenings. Outside, there's a private parking space for guests directly behind the property in the Village Hall car park. The pretty village of Wiggington is conveniently located close to the A361 with direct links to Chipping Norton, Banbury and the M40. Soho Farmhouse is 5 miles away and there are two fantastic country gastropubs less than 2 miles away.
