Beautiful, rustic barn conversion at the edge of the village, well located for the city of Oxford and access to London.
Situated in a conservation area of the village, The Old Barn is understood to have been a working milking parlour until as recently as the 1950s. Converted in the 197Os, it remains most authentic, retaining a plethora of original features. The mainly thatched property, with central courtyard area forms a U shape and most of the accommodation is on the ground floor. The formal front entrance opens into a beautiful 38 ft. reception room, with vaulted ceiling, minstrels' gallery, exposed timbers and open fireplace, with dining and sitting areas. There is a snug/TV room which opens to a garden room. The large south facing kitchen/dining room with electric Aga overlooks the garden and countryside views beyond. There are steps rising to the first floor with versatile attic/hobby rooms and mezzanine space, leading to the minstrels' gallery overlooking the living room. From the kitchen there is direct access to the double garage and a large rustic wooden door opens to the courtyard garden with pond. Also on the ground floor are a principal bedroom, with ensuite bathroom, two further bedrooms, two bath/shower rooms and a study/bedroom five. Reached by a separate staircase, another double bedroom on the first floor is ideal for teenagers or guest room as needed.
Outside, The Old Barn has ample off street parking to the side. Extending to about 0.3 acres, the established gardens adjoin adjacent countryside, and include south facing terrace area, vegetable garden and green house. Located at the end of the garden is a delightful detached home office/studio, added in 2018.
Agents note: The property was re-thatched and ridged in 2025 (inner courtyard facades) and in 2011 (outer facades).
