A cosy four-bedroom period cottage, which looks like the home from the Christmas film The Holiday, has just gone on the market in Oxfordshire for £699,000.
This Grade II listed property is situated in a prized Oxfordshire village, oozing character and charm.
Originally built as two separate cottages, this beautiful characterful home has been renovated over the years to create a place that's perfect for new homeowners to move in. Built of stone under a Stonesfield slate roof, the property still clings onto its historical roots while also feeling modern in some places too.
The reception room is worth making a fuss about. With a wonderful wood-burning fireplace, traditional wooden floors, stone walls and space for large sofas, it's inevitably the hub of the home — and a place we're sure guests will quickly fall in love with.
The first and second floors are accessed via two separate staircases from the sitting room and dining room, which was built before the renovation.
Head towards the rear of the home and you'll find a wonderful light-filled open plan kitchen and dining room. The conservatory-style dining space overlooks the lovely garden, while the glass roof gives you every reason to look up (just imagine how good the stars would look come nightfall).
As for the interiors, you can expect to find clean, white walls, exposed wooden beams, traditional stone flooring and a fascinating cream-coloured brick feature wall in the kitchen.
Outside, there are glorious flower beds, shrubs and a raised decking area that's great for entertaining in the summer. To the rear of the gardens, you'll also discover a paved patio which leads up to the walled garden area.
Right in the heart of Combe, this property is close to a parish church, public house, village primary school and a selection of lovely locally-run shops. You'll be right in the heart of the countryside, and with a house this pretty, it's completely worth it.
This property is currently on the market for £699,000 via Savills.

This is a bestseller for a reason. This lovely gift set from The White Company includes the Seychelles signature candle, room spray and diffuser for a home that will smell truly delightful.

This antique-style candle holder is a brilliant gift for the person who appreciates a good tablescape. They can use it to dress their dinner table or simply style on a sideboard.

Is it a vase? Is it a book? This rather beautiful ceramic vase, shaped like a hardback book, is perfect for displaying dried flowers. Decorated like a classic novel with pretty floral details, this would ideally look at home on a bookshelf or mantel.
Championing consciously designed interiors, Nkuku is one of our favourites for quality, crafted pieces that will stand the test of time. A perfect new home gift, this decanter made from recycled glass has a lovely etched detailing on the base. If you've got a generous budget, buy the set of four tumblers to match.
Peonies are fleeting beauties and this lovely coffee table book captures this beloved flower in abundance.

Make every coffee break a bright one with this cup and saucer set, just like those used across all the Grind cafés. We love the rich red glossy glaze and contrasting white trim on the plate and inner cup. You can choose from espresso (80ml), flat white (180ml) and cappuccino (200ml).
Organisation is key when creating a streamlined home, so we think this Kate Spade letter tray would make the perfect gift. It can be positioned on a console table or desk to collate letters and ensure everything remains in one place.
Even for those who prefer a neutral, pared-back home, the kitchen is an ideal space to introduce colour. We love these vibrant salt and pepper grinders by Alessi (sold separately) that will perfectly transition from a kitchen worktop to a dining table.
Another kitchen essential, budding or keen cooks will no doubt appreciate the viral Always Pan. No meal is off-limits with this colourful duo.
A kitchen staple, you can never have too many tea towels in our opinion. We've added these to the list because any style-conscious lover will appreciate the beauty of William Morris prints!
