The Grange is a substantial Grade II Listed stone country house sitting on approximately 25 acres of Cotswold countryside. The main seven-bedroom house offers extensive, character-filled rooms, five bathrooms and traditional features such as large fireplaces and exposed stone, creating an immediate sense of historic charm and scale. Ancillary accommodation includes a two-bedroom cottage, outbuildings, stables, a party barn/office, greenhouse, pool with pool house, garage and car port.
This estate will suit buyers seeking privacy, equestrian or small-holding potential, and flexible space for guests or home-working. The plot includes woodland with a shepherd’s hut and multiple stores ideal for tack, machinery or conversion (subject to consents). Broadband is fast and the property is in a very low-crime, affluent village with a popular pub and reasonable access to Charlbury station for rail links.
Being Grade II Listed is a material consideration: repairs, alterations and some changes of use will be constrained and may require listed-building consent. The stone walls are original and assumed uninsulated, so upgrading for modern thermal performance will need specialist work. There is no reliable mobile signal on site, and council tax is very expensive — important running costs to factor in.
Overall, The Grange offers rare scope: a sizable historic house with broad ancillary provision and extensive land for countryside living, equestrian use or sensitive renovation. It is best suited to a buyer prepared to invest in listed-property upkeep and who values privacy, land and character over turnkey accommodation.
