Summary - BLUEBELL FARM, SOUTHAM ROAD, BANBURY, FARNBOROUGH OX17 1EL
- Period stone farmhouse with grand reception rooms and cellar
Bluebell Farm is a substantial period farmhouse set in approximately 39.8 acres of pasture, arable, orchard and woodland, approached via a long private driveway and cobbled courtyard. The house retains strong period character — grand hallway, high ceilings, a drawing room with large log burner and bay window over the pond, farmhouse kitchen with Aga and flagstone floors, plus cellar storage. Outbuildings include traditional stone workshops, a water tower with panoramic views and a four-bay garage. Modern farm buildings (approx. 1,311.5 sqm) and a large yard offer scope for equestrian or agricultural use, subject to planning. The second floor could provide separate accommodation; there is potential for an additional bathroom.
Practical considerations include an EPC rating of E and oil-fired central heating; some systems may require upgrading. The vendor has an overage (30% uplift) on the buildings and the gatehouse if planning permission is granted for non-agricultural/equestrian uses within 30 years. Conversions of outbuildings or changes of use will need the appropriate consents. Council tax bands are above average, reflecting property size and running costs.
This house will suit buyers seeking a large rural home with land—families wanting space and privacy, equestrian users, or purchasers looking for mixed agricultural and leisure potential. It’s presented with mature, productive gardens, orchards and woodland, plus useful modern farm infrastructure; however, expect maintenance and planning work where change of use or modernisation is desired. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and the site has no reported flood risk.
