About this property

Quiet Spacious Cottage with garden- A comfortable base to explore the City

Tucked away from the hustle and bustle, Midsomer Cottage is a charming and comfortable end of terrace Victorian cottage, situated in the delightful riverside village of Iffley. With easy access to the city centre & ring road, the cottage is an excellent base for exploring Oxford and the surrounding area.

The space
This three bedroom village dwelling offers comfortable and welcoming accommodation for up to six guests.

An entrance hall leads to a light and airy living room with smart TV and comfortable furniture. A desk area and downstairs WC.

The living room leads down a step to the fully equipped kitchen and dining area. Facilities include a washing machine , dishwasher, fridge freezer and large gas stove.

The kitchen spills out onto a terrace with open views, BBQ, table, chairs and an umbrella for outdoor dining. Continue on to a gravelled garden bordered by tall trees, and featuring wonderful bird song in summer months.

The first floor has two bedrooms, the master bedroom sits at the front of the house and has an en-suite bathroom with enclosed shower. A super king bed with comfortable bedding has the option to be split into two single beds upon request. The second bedroom is a double and has views onto the gardens. The family bathroom has a large bath and overhead shower.

A quirky paddle staircase leads up to the charming top bedroom which has two single beds and great views of the surrounding area. There is also a basin in this room. We recommend that this room is not suitable for children under the age of 7 or the elderly based on the nature of the staircase.

Midsomer cottage is a private property and you will have access to the whole house during your stay.

We can provide stair gates for children, plus a high chair & cot upon request

Iffley village is a hidden secret. It is gorgeously relaxing, offering a slow pace of life, but also has the advantage of several pubs, hotels, take away services, and a village shop. You can wander through the village, and across Iffley Lock, which is a pleasant ten minutes walk away. Turn right to head along the tow path for the joys of the city, or right to follow the river to Sandford-on-Thames and Abingdon .

St Mary's Church, Iffley is situated at the end of Church Way, past the village shop.. When you visit you will not only be inspired by the beauty and wonderful works of art, but you will also go away enriched by the quiet spirituality of this ancient house of prayer.. Sunday morning service is at 10am, with coffee in the church hall afterwards. Everyone is welcome.
