Description
Set in a conservation area, Black Fire Cottage has been beautifully extended and thoughtfully modernised to provide a characterful home blending period charm with contemporary living. Original features such as exposed beams, an attractive fireplace and a wealth of historic detail create a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout.
The property opens into a large welcoming entrance hall leading to a good-sized kitchen equipped with a gas range cooker and dining area. The sitting room has a wood burning stove and both kitchen and sitting room open into the garden, offering an easy flow between indoor and outdoor spaces.
In the 1990s, the village blacksmith’s forge was converted to create an additional reception room, now used as a dining room. The original chimney provides a walk-in cupboard with access, via a ladder, to a large attic room above.
Upstairs, the property offers three double bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from large built-in wardrobes, providing ample storage space. A well-appointed family bathroom is conveniently located adjacent to the principal bedroom.
Externally, the property offers an enclosed patio area with a brick built BBQ and a stone boiler house/store. A wrought iron gate opens into a mature, secluded, walled garden with established planting and a detached building, formerly the village fire station, now adapted into a characterful studio with power and a wood burner. A further gate provides access to The Walk.
To the front, there is private off street parking for two vehicles along with an electric vehicle charging point.
Rich in history, Islip is a vibrant and well connected village with a strong sense of community. It offers a highly regarded primary school, a medical centre, a community shop, a village hall and a direct rail service to London Marylebone from Islip Station. The village also benefits from local bus routes and excellent road links via the A34 and M40, ensuring easy access to Oxford, London and the wider region.
