A handsome converted country house set in very large, private grounds, The Clock House offers flexible living across three distinct buildings: the main house, a generous converted barn and a one‑bed cottage. Period features such as semi‑circular windows and a clock tower give character throughout, while high ceilings and abundant natural light create an uplifting, liveable feel.
Outdoor spaces are a major asset: landscaped gardens with a picturesque rill and waterfall, mature fruit trees, vegetable beds and extensive lawn provide a peaceful semi‑rural retreat. The barn (2,152 sqft) is a light-filled, adaptable space currently used as a photographic studio; it has underfloor heating downstairs and potential for alternative uses including workspace, leisure or rental income. The detached cottage (570 sqft) already benefits from approved planning permission and signed-off footings for an extension and new garage, allowing immediate expansion.
Practical strengths include ample off-street parking for several cars, fast broadband, low local crime and easy road access to the A34 and Didcot Parkway. Local amenities in Marcham — primary school, post office, pub, farm shop and sports clubs — plus nearby Frilford Heath Golf Club and highly regarded independent schools make the location strong for families and multi‑generational buyers.
Notable considerations: the property is semi‑rural and approached over a long driveway, offering privacy but greater reliance on a car. Council tax is described as quite expensive. Mobile signal is average in places. Parts of the ensemble, notably the barn and cottage, will suit buyers wanting to personalise or adapt accommodation rather than those seeking a fully modernised turnkey home.
