Summary - THE GRANGE, 12 SHIPTON ROAD ASCOTT UNDER WYCHWOOD CHIPPING NORTON OX7 6AF
7 bed 4 bath Detached
Substantial period house with 1.32-acre garden and two-bedroom annexe.
Nearly 8,000 sq ft of accommodation across three storeys
Set behind a pillared entrance in a highly sought Cotswold village, The Grange is a substantial period country house offering nearly 8,000 sq ft of well-proportioned living space across three storeys. The recent refurbishment has created a large, contemporary kitchen/breakfast room and introduced ground-floor underfloor heating, while original proportions and large sash windows ensure abundant natural light and period character throughout. An independent two-bedroom annexe provides flexible accommodation for relatives or a rental income stream.
The house sits within approximately 1.32 acres of private, drystone-walled gardens with mature trees, lawns, herbaceous borders and a productive kitchen garden — ideal for family life and outdoor entertaining. The plot includes parking, a garage/storage building and an 'in-and-out' gravel drive. There is also scope to extend further, with a substantial loft space offering potential to enlarge (subject to consents).
Practical considerations are straightforward and transparent: the property was built before 1900 and, while newly refurbished in many respects, the stone walls are assumed to lack insulation and the double glazing installation dates are unknown. There is a medium flood risk for the area and council tax is very expensive. Rail connections are good via nearby stations, but services from Ascott-under-Wychwood itself are limited.
For families seeking a large, character-filled home in a tranquil, affluent village location — yet within reach of Oxford, Chipping Norton and local schools — The Grange balances classic period charm with contemporary living. Buyers should account for ongoing maintenance typical of a property of this age and scale and confirm insulation and flood-related measures during survey and conveyancing.
