Stonewalls is a substantial period family house dating from 1827, offering about 5,000 sq ft of adaptable living arranged over multiple floors. The main house delivers formal reception rooms, a large kitchen with breakfast area, a garden room and a mix of bedroom wings that suit multi-generational living. Double glazing has been installed since 2002 and the property retains many character features such as an inglenook fireplace and exposed timbers in the annexe.
The grounds extend to just over an acre with established lawns, mature fruit trees and a paved terrace for al fresco dining. A triple garage with a self-contained bedroom and en suite above provides a useful annexe, while a separate single garage and generous driveway give ample off-street parking for visitors and family.
Practical considerations are straightforward but important: heating is by an oil-fired boiler and the original stone walls are assumed to be uninsulated, which will affect running costs and potential improvement works. Council tax is described as quite expensive. These factors, combined with the property’s age, mean buyers should allow for ongoing maintenance and optional refurbishment to modernise services.
This home will suit a family seeking rural space and period character, or buyers wanting a large house with annexe potential. Its village location places it close to Deddington and within commuting reach of Banbury and Oxford, making it equally attractive for countryside living with access to regional services.
