Home Farm is an exceptional ensemble of buildings, featuring several Grade II listed structures. These historic and architecturally significant buildings, some dating back to the 18th century, are thoughtfully arranged around a large, picturesque courtyard. The layout is landscaped in such a way that the eye flows from one to the other through charming vistas adding interest and intrigue.

The main Farm House is Grade II listed and has a rich history with origins, it is believed, in 16th century and remodelled in 18th century. It has brick and flint elevations with partial render and timber weatherboarding under a clay peg tiled roof. It was thoughtfully and carefully extended in 2008 and retains all the charm and character of a period home while providing modern comforts.

The sitting room is a charming double aspect room with a feature brick open fireplace and built-in cupboards with shelving to one side and an exposed brick wall opposite. The reception hall has an inglenook feature with bressumer beam and exposed ceiling timbers. Steps lead to the lovely dining room again with exposed timbers and double doors opening to the elegant garden room. This room is filled with light and provides the perfect sitting area overlooking the beautiful garden and opens to a south west facing terrace. Doors from the dining and garden rooms lead to the superbly equipped kitchen with a range of painted floor and full height cupboards arranged around a central island. Integrated appliances include a 4-oven Aga, dishwasher and fridge/freezer. The kitchen overlooks and steps lead down to a wonderful family room, very much the heart of the home, with a sitting and dining area and built-in display shelves and cupboards. A particular feature of this room is an old well that is on display through a sturdy glazed cover in the floor.

There are two staircases in the farm house, one from the reception hall which leads to the principal suite comprising bedroom, bathroom and large dressing room with built-in wardrobes. The second staircase rises to the first floor from a rear lobby off the dining room where there are two further bedrooms, a shower room and a family bathroom. The two sides are accessed to each other via the family bathroom.

Ancillary accommodation is offered in two of the barns. The Coach House was converted circa 2008 and offers an open plan living room, triple aspect with a door to the garden. It has exposed beams, wooden floor and a wood burning stove in one corner. The entrance hall also has the kitchen and a beautiful spiral staircase to the first floor bedroom. There is a shower room on the ground floor off the entrance hall.

The Home Barn and Office was converted in 2010 retaining all the integrity of the original structure with exposed beams and large full height entrance doors and windows. The ground floor is a large open plan space with a shower room and kitchenette to one end and a staircase to the mezzanine level bedroom. A door from the ground floor kitchen opens to the office building. This space has glazing to one wall and provides the perfect space to work from home away from the main house.

The Big Barn is a magnificent space. The original barn structure is fully on display and has electrically operated doors to the side and large double doors to one end. This is currently used as a specialist garage facility by the current owners but could also provide excellent storage, a party barn and does benefit from extant planning permission for conversion for use as a swimming pool.


Outside

Home Farm is accessed from the lane via an attractive metal gate which opens onto the large gravel courtyard and parking area. The courtyard is cleverly landscaped with areas of garden softening the various barns and outbuildings. Areas of lawn edged with hedges and borders planted with perennial shrubs and plants create an interesting backdrop to the attractive buildings. To the front of the Farm House is a parterre garden with a gravel pedestrian path leading through a gate in a pretty brick and flint wall to the front door. To the rear of the Farm House is a terrace accessed from the garden room and a gazebo, with outdoor heating, providing the perfect place for outdoor entertaining and to enjoy the beautiful surrounding garden.

To one side, next to the Coach House is a Grade II listed Granary. A pretty building on staddle stones providing storage to the ground and first floor. Tucked away in the corner is a stable and store, constructed in 2010, it comprises a tack room and stable.

In all the plot is just under half an acre. The idyllic setting in this very special South Oxfordshire village makes it an outstanding property with so much to offer.
