Househunters looking for a property with potential may be tempted by a cottage in a rural setting between Chipping and Hook Norton.

Number 1, Walk Farm Cottages, is an end-of-terrace period cottage with views over surrounding countryside.

Max Douglas, of agents Maxwell Douglas Property, said: “The property is charming, with a large garden and stunning views but it needs updating.

“It has large front and back gardens so there is also huge scope to extend, subject to all the usual planning consents.”

The house, pictured left, includes a sitting room, kitchen/breakfast room, four bedrooms and two bathrooms.

One of the bedrooms is on the ground floor and has double doors to the garden.

Number 1, Walk Farm Cottages, is on the market for £300,000.
