5 bedroom house

Situated at the end of a no-through lane at the edge of the village, Mead Farm has origins dating to the mid-seventeenth century and has evolved over the years. Constructed of stone below a pitched stonesfield slate roof, the property is Grade II listed and retains a wealth of period features. Tastefully updated to a high specification by the current owners works include re-wiring, re-plumbing and a new central heating system/boiler. The bathrooms have been refurbished, as has the kitchen with granite work surfaces, gas range oven and work island, with matching units and work surfaces in the utility room. The property today combines all the charm of a period property with the comforts of modern living.

Approached through wooden gates to gravel parking, there is an impressive detached, thatched barn providing garaging for 2/3 vehicles and adjoining store. With space in the eaves, it offers scope for conversion for other uses subject to relevant consents.

Situated about 4 miles to the north of the city of Oxford, the village of Yarnton has amenities which include a primary school, village hall, two public houses, doctors surgery, post office/shop and garden centre.
