5 bedroom house

A beautiful 5 bedroom farmhouse of immense charm and character, sitting in attractive gardens of approx. 1.3 acres, with a swimming pool, tennis court and listed 100 ft barn, situated in an attractive rural setting.

The house is Grade II Listed and dates from the 16th Century. There are exposed timbers with the sitting room having an open inglenook style fireplace. The elegant drawing room has a marble fireplace, two bay windows and French doors out to the garden. The dining room has a fireplace, French doors out to the garden and a door leading through to the conservatory. The kitchen is a good size with fitted appliances, and a larder. There is a utility room and cloakroom.

The master bedroom has an extensive range of fitted wardrobes, and a walk-in cupboard and an adjoining bathroom. There are four further bedrooms, served by the family bathroom.

The house is approached via a right of way, over a gravel track, leading to a private drive, and is set in a mature garden with formal lawns and beds. Next to the kitchen and conservatory is a south facing York Stone terrace, with a brick and flint wall providing access to the swimming pool and pool house. Adjoining is a games room. From the pool there is an area of open lawn leading to the tennis court (in need of repair). There is a greenhouse, productive vegetable patch and fruit trees. Within the grounds is a 18th Century, Grade II Listed, timber frame barn, which has potential to provide ancillary accommodation, subject to the necessary planning consent. Next to the drive is a listed granary providing useful storage. Beyond the formal garden is land rented from Queens College Oxford.
