The main reception room is the splendid sitting room with its dual seating areas, impressive open fireplace and triple aspect, which welcomes plenty of natural light, including through the French doors which open to the garden. There is also a dining room and a useful home study, while the kitchen has bespoke wooden units, a central island and an Aga, as well as a breakfast area.

Upstairs, the generous principal bedroom has a bay window with panoramic views across the beautiful garden, as well as fitted wardrobes and an en suite bathroom. There are two further first-floor bedrooms, one of which has its own dressing room. Also on the first floor is the family bathroom, with the ground floor providing an additional shower room.

This property has 11 acres of land.

Outside

At the entrance to the property, five-bar wooden gates open onto the gravel driveway with plenty of parking space and access to both the house and the detached workshop and garaging block. Upstairs, the workshop has an office space, which is ideal for home working. The well-proportioned garden is mostly laid to lawn with borders of established hedgerows and various mature trees. There is also an area of patio across the back of the house and a peaceful meadow to the side. Beyond the garden, the grounds include large open fields and paddocks, while a single-track lane leads to the 1,700 square foot tractor barn. The grounds are ideal for grazing livestock, with the outbuildings providing the necessary infrastructure for smallholding operations.

For further everyday amenities, Chipping Norton is close-at-hand, offering excellent shopping, a range of supermarkets, restaurants and cafes, and excellent leisure amenities. The area offers a wide selection of independent schools including Sibford, Bloxham, Tudor Hall, Great Tew, Kingham Hill, Windrush Valley, St. John’s Priory, Kitebrook Prep and Carrdus.
