Description
The main house has very good proportions and offers over 7,000 sq ft of flexible and generous accommodation. Of note is a double-volume drawing room with views over the neighbouring countryside towards the White Horse, an extraordinary staircase, circa 17th century, with moulded balusters and Doric columns, and a wonderful party barn. Additionally, there are two cottages offering great potential for visiting family, multi-generational living, or rental potential.
The gardens and grounds are beautifully maintained and very private. A discreet white farm gate leads to a generous drive with parking by the front door. The gardens stretch down to a small stream, a lawned courtyard, a more formal lawn and an orchard with a variety of fruit trees. There is also a hard tennis court and a wonderful pool area comprising a large outdoor pool with an adjoining pool pavilion flanked by mature catalpa trees. The house looks on to an additional field of circa 5 acres. In total, the gardens, grounds and field extend to approximately 8 acres.
The property is located just under 4 miles from the market town of Faringdon. Here, there are 3 large supermarkets, as well as a variety of independent shops and places to eat. The acclaimed Estelle Manor and Eynsham Baths are also close by.
There are a number of excellent schools in the area, with Pinewood, Abingdon, St Hugh's, and Cokethorpe School all within easy reach. The university city of Oxford is approximately 21 miles away and is well known for its superb educational facilities and a wide choice of independent schools. These include the Dragon, Summer Fields, Headington High School, St Edward's and Magdalen College, amongst many others.
