Summary - SPRINGHILL HOUSE SPRING HILL ROAD BEGBROKE KIDLINGTON OX5 1RX
7 bed 6 bath Detached
Grade II country house with detached cottage, 1.74 acres and strong Oxford links.
7 bedrooms across main house and detached 2‑bed cottage, ideal for family or income
Springhill House is a handsome Grade II listed Tudor‑style country home set in about 1.74 acres of private Oxfordshire land. The main house (circa 2,763 sqft) and a detached two‑bedroom cottage (1,013 sqft) form a versatile multi‑unit property that has been carefully maintained and tastefully presented throughout. Views from nearly every window, a sheltered patio, orchard and traditional stone features give the place strong countryside appeal.
The layout suits a large family, multi‑generational living or a combined home-and-income model: four reception rooms, four bedrooms and four bathrooms in the main house, plus a self‑contained cottage that currently trades as a holiday let. An attached former office with mezzanine (c. 669 sqft) offers flexible space for storage, a studio, media room or conversion subject to listed‑building and planning constraints. Parking is plentiful and grounds include a hen coop, well and a sheltered entertaining patio.
Practical considerations are straightforward but important: the house is Grade II listed so alterations require specialist consent; heating is by oil with Calor gas serving the Aga and hot water; drainage is to a septic tank. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is average, reflecting the secluded rural location. Access involves a single‑lane rough track and the nearby airfield means occasional light aircraft noise.
Location is a major asset for buyers who value rural privacy with good access: about 15 minutes’ drive to Oxford, ten minutes to Woodstock and local schools of strong repute. This property will suit those seeking a characterful country home with income potential and generous grounds, and who are comfortable managing the responsibilities that come with listed status and rural services.
