A rare Grade II listed stone family home dating in part to 1589, offered freehold on a very large plot in central Bicester. This detached five-bedroom house keeps original features throughout: exposed beams, flagstone floors and multiple inglenook fireplaces that create genuine period atmosphere and flexible reception space for family life and entertaining.
The property sits within a secluded, southerly courtyard and a stunning walled garden with mature trees, fruit beds and room for a greenhouse. Practical benefits include a double garage, driveway parking for several cars, and a handy utility with garden access. Commuter links are strong — both Bicester stations are walkable and the M40 is close by.
Important points to note: the house is Grade II listed which will restrict alterations and can increase repair costs; specialist materials or listed-consent works may be required. Probate has been granted and this is a probate sale. The house has two bathrooms serving five bedrooms, which may require reconfiguration for larger families. Council tax is described as quite expensive and local recorded crime levels are high.
This is an opportunity for a buyer seeking a distinctive historic family residence with substantial outside space and strong transport links. It will particularly suit those who appreciate original features and are prepared for listed‑building ownership or sympathetic upgrading rather than a move‑in‑and‑forget modern property.
