Summary - SOUTHVIEW WHITE OAK GREEN HAILEY WITNEY OX29 9XP
Cotswold stone house, origins circa 1600, sympathetically extended
Southview is a substantially extended Cotswold stone home dating from the 1600s, newly renovated to combine original character with contemporary living. The heart of the house is a large open-plan farmhouse kitchen with Aga and island, opening to landscaped gardens and far-reaching countryside views. Ground-floor accommodation includes a double bedroom with ensuite and separate external access, useful for guests or multigenerational living.
Upstairs are four further double bedrooms, each showing original beams and pleasant outlooks across the 2.1-acre grounds. Outside the property benefits from formal lawns, productive vegetable beds, an outdoor kitchen and barbecue area, a timber garage and workshop, games room with home office, woodland with paths and a wood-fired hot tub — excellent for family life and entertaining.
Practical details: freehold tenure, total internal area about 3,707 sq ft, and no flooding risk. The location on a quiet no-through lane places the village pub within a short walk and offers easy access to Witney, nearby rail links to London, and prestigious local schools. The property has also attracted significant national press coverage, underlining its high design quality and broad appeal.
Notable drawbacks: council tax is described as quite expensive. Mobile signal is average despite fast broadband, and the large grounds and period fabric will require ongoing maintenance. The size and rural setting suit those seeking space and character rather than low-maintenance city living.
