There’s nothing Muddy loves more than a cheeky nose around a lust-worthy home, and this one’s hotter than a patio in the current heatwave. Fresh to market and fully primed for a knees-up (wait until you clock the garden), this come-hither cottage is anything but twee. Pour yourself something cold, eye up the original features, have a punt at the price – then go shake the piggy bank.

First impressions? That chalet-style entrance in <a href="https://bucksoxon.muddystilettos.co.uk/travel/uk/travel-guides/insider-guide-best-things-to-do-oxford/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Headington</a> whispers cosy period charm, all beams and storybook good looks. But step inside and boom – a cleverly laid out ground floor hides a vast private garden out back. We’re talking full-on secret-garden energy: green, secluded, and practically begging for corks to be popped on the lawn.

The large basement has Champagne-cellar potential (or, for the more generous host, a crash pad for overnight guests). A farmhouse kitchen with range, exposed beams and warm wooden floors ticks the cottagecore fantasy box, while three generous doubles (one en-suite), a family bathroom and a bonus bedroom-slash-office mean no one’s fighting for space.

The light-filled breakfast room is made for early caffeine fixes, while the elegant dining room’s French doors lead straight to the garden for instant al fresco action. And should the heavens open (this is the UK), the conservatory offers a calm, private nook for work, play or a guilt-free afternoon nap – no neighbours peeking in.
