5 bedroom house

Red House Farm is a handsome Grade II listed farmhouse within easy striking distance of Oxford and Witney. The front elevation is red brick under a tiled roof built in the 1820s. The rear is older and was built in 1740.

The property has been a much-loved family house. The owners have lived at the property for over twenty years, and the house feels incredibly welcoming. Internally, there is a delightful entrance hall with a drawing room to one side and and a large farmhouse kitchen on the other side. Both rooms are well –proportioned with lovely windows overlooking the garden to the front. The kitchen has multiple base and wall units as well as an Aga and nearby walk in larder. To the rear of the house is a dining room and further sitting room, which is cosy in the winter months. Adjoining the kitchen is a wonderfully generous utility room and a wet room with a Giberit self-flushing toilet.

Above, the accommodation is arranged over two floors. The first floor has five bedrooms and two bathrooms, leaving a further bedroom and a box room/7th bedroom on the second floor. To the side of the house is a two bedroom cottage that generates a healthy
income. Behind the house, there is a charming walled courtyard, triple garage, plenty of parking, and a workshop.

The grounds run to approximately 0.6 acres and the house sits central to its land and enjoys a splendid rural outlook.

Red House Farm is surrounded by open countryside, approximately 3 miles from the city of Oxford. Botley is even closer with a range of shops and cafes. There is a Co-op, Tesco, Iceland, library, chemist, medical surgery, optician, florist, butcher, post office and dental
practice. In the other direction is the village of Farmoor, which has Farmoor Stores and the Oxford Sailing Club on the Reservoir.

The city of Oxford and the market towns of Abingdon and Witney provide further shopping, leisure, and recreational facilities. Communications in the area are excellent, with access to the A420, A40 and A34 linking the M4 and M40. Additionally, it is on a bus route into Oxford with 4 buses an hour.

It is well served by schools: State schools such as Matthew Arnold and St Bartholomew's. Independent schools such as Radley, Abingdon, St Edward's, Magdalen College School, Oxford High, Cokethorpe and many leading prep schools such as Summer Fields, St Hugh's and the Dragon.
