The site is on a ridge of land that extends westwards from the high point of Horsenden Hill. The new house has been orientated to align both with the natural contours of the site and be aligned closely to the existing adjacent mature hedge rows. Currently there is an agricultural barn in this truly exceptional location, the planning permission (P19/S3402/FUL) was granted in April 2020, this comprising a wonderful open plan living space on the first floor of the property, with separate areas for the kitchen, the dining area and living area, all benefitting from exceptional views over the open Oxfordshire countryside with the bedrooms being located on the lower ground floor (c. 3,724 ft. sq. when built). The current owner has applied to vary the consent (P21/S2114/FUL) to alter the appearance and improve the siting of the house and to provide a large principal bedroom suite with 3 further en-suite bedrooms, a very large open-plan living space, snug, home office and garaging in addition (3,875 - 6,168 ft. sq. when build subject to consent). We understand water and electricity are connected to the site. The CGI's are indicative only and subject to planning consent.

This property has 7.35 acres of land.

Situation

The barn is situated on the edge of Tetsworth and Moreton, yet with easy access to the larger centres of Thame and Oxford. A fast rail service to London Marylebone is available from Haddenham and Thame Parkway rail station. There is also swift access to the M40 motorway. Tetworth can be reached via a private path for the owners of the house and the farm next door through to the village. Upon entering Tetsworth, its appeal is obvious, with its traditional style village homes, a village Cricket pitch green, the stately 17th century Swan Inn, village shop, social club, football pitches and ancient Saxon Church. The village now has a county primary school with senior schooling facilities in Thame and Watlington. In addition there are a number of independent schools in neighbouring villages as well as Oxford and High Wycombe. Sports and recreational facilities are available in the village, including the nearby Cricket Club. Further facilities are available in Thame and golfing at The Oxfordshire is a world class course. Thame is accessible via road but also via the ‘Moreton walk’, which is for walkers/cyclists only, this goes around the outskirts of Cuttlebrook Nature Reserve and Thame can be reached by bike in about 15 minutes.
