4 bedroom detached house for sale

A splendid village house which is superbly located, standing within a large one and a half acre plot and enjoying a high degree of privacy, yet within 150 yards of the centre of this highly regarded village which lies approx. 5 miles southeast of Oxford, for sale by Public Auction on Wednesday 22nd October 2025.

This substantial period stone-built period house which offers 2,500 sq. ft of accommodation is superbly positioned within a large plot that comprises mature landscaped grounds that are well screened of other dwellings. The house benefits from three significant outbuildings, the principal one being a period timber barn which offers excellent potential to convert into annexed accommodation, a stone built double width garage and a pretty brick-built summerhouse. In total these outbuildings provide an additional 1,800 sq. ft of floor area. Internally the house is dated, consequently it offers an excellent opportunity to refurbish, yet there are plenty of attractive characterful features which include exposed stone walls, ceiling and wall timbers and wooden panelling.

The entrance to the plot is a mere 100 yards from the centre of the village where there is a renowned gastropub, The Mole. From the gated entrance, a long driveway leads in front of the period barn at the side boundary to a turning circle, hardstanding, and the garage, which is conveniently sited to the side of the house. The mature gardens extend all around the house and provide several features with a decorative wishing well, brick and stone walls, hedges, shrubs and a variety of trees.
