A handsome Georgian country residence offering substantial family accommodation and a self-contained annexe on about half an acre. Original features — high ceilings, sash windows, exposed beams and feature fireplaces — combine with modern conveniences such as a contemporary kitchen with island and useful utility/secondary kitchen. The property totals approximately 6,439 sq ft including the annexe (nearly 1,100 sq ft), giving flexible living arrangements for multi-generational use, home offices or lettable income.
The well-proportioned main house provides multiple reception rooms, a study, cellar space and an attic room ideal for play or a home workspace. The split-level, part-walled garden is predominantly lawn with mature borders, double stables and stores, suitable for equestrian or outdoor pursuits and private entertaining. Approached through stone pillars and electric gates, the gravel driveway offers ample off-street parking behind attractive kerb appeal.
Location is a strong family draw: walkable village amenities, a thriving community, and a range of schooling from local primaries to independent senior schools including Bloxham School and Tudor Hall nearby. Banbury station is about 4 miles for fast rail links and Soho Farmhouse lies some 7 miles away, offering countryside leisure within easy reach.
Buyers should note practical considerations: council tax is very expensive, and local mobile and broadband speeds are described as average. One nearby state primary has an Ofsted rating of "Requires improvement"; however there are several highly regarded independent and state secondary options in the area. The scale and age of the house mean ongoing maintenance and running costs should be anticipated.
