£ 500 Year Old Country Cottage with Royal Connection - Stowhill Estates

CHARLES COTTAGES | CHILDREY | OXFORDSHIRE Guide Price: £1,500,000 We’re delighted to introduce Charles Cottages, a stunning four-bedroom country residence in the sought-after Oxfordshire village of Childrey, that comes complete with its own little piece of history. This Grade II Listed country house is an amalgamation of a terrace of cottages, the former village blacksmith’s forge and the wheelwrights barn. In 1644, at the height of the English Civil War, King Charles I rested in Childrey for several days while travelling between Oxford and Marlborough and had his horse shod at the smithy. The name Charles Cottages commemorates the royal patronage. Now a comfortable and stylish home, the 500-year-old Charles Cottages is a wonderful example of period restoration with extensive and spacious living areas. Magnificent beamed ceilings, lime-plastered and panelled walls, original fireplaces and flagstone floors are among its prime vintage features. For more information or to view
