Description

Tucked quietly within the heart of this south Warwickshire village, Oxhill House presents a composed and well-balanced village home of real substance, offering both presence and privacy behind a discreet frontage.

This stunning home offers modern living whilst preserving it's historical integrity including open fireplaces, exposed timbers and stonework, flagstones, window seats, shuttered casement windows, panelling and six panel doors.

This Grade II listed former farmhouse and adjoining cottage unfolds from the central hall with an assured sense of proportion, where well-scaled reception rooms provide a natural flow for both everyday living and more formal entertaining. A drawing room of particular note enjoys a lovely fireplace and a dual aspect, allowing light to move easily through the space, while a more informal sitting room offers a quieter retreat or great space for teenagers. The dining room follows the natural formality of this house, carefully balanced by a lovely extended kitchen/breakfast room which is positioned as the natural hub of the house. This space is designed for modern family life with direct connectivity to the garden, garden and breakfast rooms, all offering ample space for dining and entertaining. A key feature is the full height glazed elevation onto the garden allowing natural light to pervade throughout. The resultant generous ceiling, only furthers the feeling of space.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom suite on the second floor is both generous and calm, enjoying a pleasant outlook across the surrounding village rooftops and mature gardens. Further bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged, offering flexibility for family, guests or home working, all supported by well-appointed bath/shower rooms.

Externally, the gardens are a key feature. To the front is a lovely private walled garden laid to lawn providing a natural entertaining space. The main gardens wrap around on three sides, are level and enclosed by hedge and fence boundaries. Mature planting provides both structure and privacy and there is a generous stone paved entertaining terrace. There is a sense of seclusion that is often difficult to achieve in a village setting, yet Oxhill House manages this with ease. To the front there is parking for several cars.

Beyond to the north-east is The Barn, a detached stone barn conversion with its own independent access, parking area, level gardens and paved entertaining area with pergola. The Barn would be ideal for family members, guest accommodation, income stream or home office. Attached is a gym. Note that planning permission and Listed Building consent has been granted to the Barn for a garage and door/window alterations to the kitchen.

Oxhill House is, at its core, a well-judged house—elegant without ostentation, practical yet quietly refined—offering a rare opportunity to secure an enduring home in a village setting.
