Summary - Kings End, Bicester OX26 6DR
Grade II listed stone house, parts dating to 1589
A rare Grade II listed, stone-built family home believed to date in parts to 1589, offered for the first time in over 50 years. The house retains abundant period character — exposed beams, original flagstone floors and multiple large inglenook fireplaces — and provides flexible multi-story living across approximately 3,363 sq ft. Bedrooms are generous and the master benefits from fitted wardrobes and a Jack-and-Jill bathroom.
Set on a very large, well-established plot, the property features a secluded southerly courtyard and a larger walled garden with mature trees, fruit beds, vegetable areas and space for a greenhouse. Driveway parking for several cars and a double garage sit to the side, while the location is convenient for both Bicester Village and Bicester North stations and quick road access to the M40.
Practical points to note: the house is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and may complicate maintenance; probate has been granted and the sale is a probate transaction. There are only two bathrooms for five bedrooms, council tax is described as quite expensive, and the area records higher local crime levels. Buyers should expect ongoing conservation-sensitive repair and maintenance costs typical for historic stone homes.
This property will suit a buyer seeking a distinctive period family home with historic character, a large private garden and excellent commuter links — someone prepared to care for a listed building and appreciate its constraints as part of its long-term appeal.
