Summary - CROWN BARN FRINGFORD BICESTER OX27 8RQ
Stone-built 5-bed barn conversion with 2,574 sq ft accommodation
A substantial stone-built barn conversion set in just over four acres of landscaped gardens, orchard and level paddocks — a rare rural home that combines spacious contemporary living with genuine outdoor scope. The main house provides flexible open-plan reception space, five bedrooms and three bathrooms across two levels, with large windows and a spiral staircase giving a strong sense of light and flow. A detached stone studio/party barn (approx. 1,518 sq ft) offers ancillary accommodation or entertaining space and could suit a range of uses subject to planning.
The grounds are a key asset: gated, private and level, with post-and-rail and electric fencing, automatic paddock waterers and all‑year turnout infrastructure. There is generous driveway parking and scope for equestrian facilities which are available by separate negotiation. The location sits in a well-served Oxfordshire village with good primary schooling and direct rail links from nearby Bicester for commuters.
Practical considerations are clear and factual. Heating is oil‑fired (boiler and radiators) and not on a community supply; double glazing is fitted but install dates are unspecified. The ancillary barn is currently used for entertainment and will require planning consent for some alternative uses (STPP). The property was converted in the early 1990s and, while well presented, offers scope for modernisation in parts to suit a buyer seeking period character with contemporary upgrades.
Overall this is a family-focused country home for buyers who prioritise space, seclusion and outdoor lifestyle — particularly those wanting room for horses, extensive gardening or multi‑use outbuildings — willing to accept oil heating and to consider any refurbishment or planning needed for change of use in the ancillary barn.
