Description
Castle Hill dates back to the 1800s but has been lovingly extended and refurbished by the current owners. The accommodation is versatile, with the potential to link the upstairs of current annex with the main house, creating a large family home.
The house is accessed via steps up to the front terrace, leading into a spacious hallway. Upon entering the expansive kitchen/dining room to the right, the age and history of the property are instantly noticeable owing to the exposed brickwork, flagged flooring and attractive open fireplace. The kitchen is fitted and comprises extensive high and low-level storage units, worktops and modern appliances, including a Siemens oven and grill. The kitchen is bright and airy with dual aspect windows providing splendid views over the surrounding gardens and countryside.
Off the entrance hall is the living room, a spacious room with practical flagged flooring and including French doors, which open to a flower-bedecked terrace. There are four bedrooms and two bathrooms. Three are accessed via the kitchen/dining room; a fourth has separate access and has been let as an annexe, generating good income. All the bedrooms enjoy breath-taking views across. The family bathroom has a white three-piece suite comprising a bathtub with a shower above and a glass shower panel.
A second entrance to house, forms part of a tastefully designed extension created to enhance the property while embracing and preserving its unique history. Kitchen/dining room two, with its incredible abundance of space and natural light, is a beautiful addition to the house and blends effortlessly with the original structure. There are triple-aspect windows with breath-taking views across the property's grounds and countryside beyond, creating a lovely bright, welcoming living space equipped with a fitted kitchen. With stylish floor tiles throughout, ambient down lighting and neutral décor, this is a beautiful room to be enjoyed on any occasion, being of a size generous enough for soft furnishings and a dining table.
A characterful wooden spiral staircase leads up to Bedroom One above. This impressively spacious room has high ceilings and far-reaching views. Light wooden flooring flows into the striking bathroom comprising a three-piece suite, a bathtub with a shower above, and a glass shower panel. The attractive ensuite is partially tiled and enjoys convenient under vanity storage. There is underfloor heating throughout the bedroom, ensuite and kitchen/ living area below.
Owing to its convenient separate entrance and tucked away location, the extension offers fantastic scope for a fully self-contained holiday let or B&B. The utility room on the ground floor, close to Kitchen/dining room two, benefits from a sink and convenient plumbing for a washing machine, dryer, and ample storage facilities.
Currently designed for equestrian use, the yard and stables are at the top of the driveway, close to the house. The modern, well-equipped block of stables houses up to four horses and is complemented by an additional tack/feed room and a hay barn. There are 3.33 acres of secure, well-tended grazing land surrounded by fencing, mature trees, and hedging. A detached self-contained, multi-functional home office/gym with a private entrance and bathroom is situated close to the yard. The bathroom consists of a modern three-piece suite, including a shower cubicle.
The lawned gardens are sheltered and protected by a high hedge and contain a colourful array of flowers, mature trees, shrubs, and numerous fruit trees. The beautiful, secluded terrace, enjoys superb elevated views over the property's land and gardens, and surrounding countryside, providing an idyllic setting for dining al fresco or entertaining.
The property is approached via an idyllic leafy lane then a long drive flanked by paddocks. Britwell Salome and the surrounding country is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a renowned favourite for outdoor pursuits, especially horse riding, owing to the unrivalled network of bridle paths accessible straight from the property's doorstep.
Despite the rural and private setting, the village benefits from being less than one mile from Watlington where day-to-day shops are to be found, with bustling Wallingford - a larger, well-serviced market town - approximately 7 miles away.
The M40 (Jct. 6) is 4.5 miles from Britwell Salome, providing easy access to Oxford and gateway to the Midlands, and London. Heathrow Airport is 33 miles away approximately. Thame, Henley-on-Thames, and High Wycombe are also readily accessible from the village.
Various Ofsted-rated Outstanding and good primary and secondary schools, including Watlington Primary School and Icknield Community College, are in the immediate area. Britwell Salome also features a cricket club, a popular pub and a farm shop, and a village hall creating a welcoming community for the residents of this desirable village.
