This substantial detached farmhouse in Old Kidlington combines authentic 18th‑century character with a full, sensitive renovation. Exposed beams, natural stonework and double‑height living spaces create dramatic, light‑filled rooms that suit family life and entertaining. The property sits within walled, landscaped gardens behind electric double gates and a sweeping driveway with extensive off‑street parking.
The accommodation includes four bedrooms, three reception rooms and two bathrooms across generous floorspace (approximately 2,928 sq ft). Versatile outbuildings and cottage/barn conversion space offer home‑office, studio or ancillary accommodation potential. The location is very accessible — a short walk to the High Street, easy cycle to Oxford Parkway and close to a broad choice of well‑rated schools.
Practical points to note: the house is freehold, newly renovated and has no flood risk, but it sits in an affluent area with quite expensive council tax. As a large period home it will still require routine maintenance typical of older properties, and some buyers should expect higher running and upkeep costs associated with older fabric and extensive grounds.
For families seeking space, character and strong school links, or buyers wanting a distinctive home near Oxford, this property offers rare scale and adaptability. Its position bordering the conservation area and proximity to riverside walks add lasting lifestyle appeal.
