6 bedroom detached house for sale

In a private, rural setting, a unique, architect designed house with 12 acres of woodland and garden, and views across fields.

Moonrakers - Accessed down a long driveway which curves through woodland, Moonrakers is a wonderfully situated house, architect designed in the 1960s and subsequently extended. The gentle garden setting is full of rhododendrons and magnificent mature oak and beech trees, yet with sunny corners and an open aspect to the south.

With over 4,000 sq ft, Moonrakers is a wonderfully generous family home with spacious reception rooms including a sitting room, family room, study and dining room. Upstairs, there are six bedrooms and three bathrooms, all with lovely views over fields or woodland. The house has been extended over the years and there is further scope for extension or reconfiguration, subject to the usual consents. An extremely quiet location, away from major roads, the property includes 11 acres of Busgrove Wood, an enchanting setting with owls, red kites and all manner of wildlife in the surrounding countryside.

Agent Note: The land registry address for the property is Moonrakers, Busgrove Lane, Stoke Row, Oxfordshire and the property benefits from a second right of way to access the house from Busgrove Lane.
