The Old Rectory is an imposing former rectory (1844) set in about 3.8 acres of formal gardens, paddock and mature trees. The principal house offers six bedrooms, three reception rooms and three bathrooms across generous, high-ceilinged rooms — spacious family living with clear scope for modernisation to suit contemporary tastes. A self-contained two-bedroom staff/letting apartment and a separate three-bedroom cottage with its own garden add income or multi-generational living potential.
Outdoors the grounds are a major asset: well-stocked borders, a tennis court, summerhouse and a field with separate road access provide privacy and scope for equestrian, recreational or amenity uses. The plot’s size and layout make it ideal for buyers seeking seclusion, substantial outdoor space or an opportunity to create formal gardens and productive land around a period house.
Located in a small Oxfordshire hamlet between Bicester and Buckingham, the house benefits from excellent local schooling and straightforward road and rail links — Bicester station (direct to London Marylebone, c.51 minutes) and the M40 within easy reach. Practical considerations: broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is average, and the property’s rural, isolated setting means daily services require a short drive.
This property will suit an established family wanting space and rural character, or an investor/owner-occupier seeking lettable income from the ancillary accommodation. Its historic charm, large plot and multiple dwellings offer versatile options, but buyers should allow time and budget for updating services and tailoring interiors to modern requirements.
