Description
The Farmhouse is positioned on the eastern edge of Bloxham Grove backing onto open countryside.
The house is curtilage listed (Grade II) and is believed to be of early 17th century origins with later additions.
The property is of local ironstone construction and given its architecture, has a quintessentially handsome façade.
Classic period architecture provides well-proportioned principal rooms with generous ceiling heights and plenty of natural light.
Period features include open fireplaces, exposed timbers, simple coving, sash and casement windows (some being arched), window seats, extensive flagstone floors (with underfloor heating) and six panel internal doors.
Given lapsed planning permission (see planning note below) exists for a substantial extension to the main house and repositioned garage, there is potential to further improve and enhance this lovely property.
The accommodation is laid out over three floors and a cellar and in particular the second floor lends itself well to children or teenagers.
Hardstanding parking area to the south.
Ample, level gardens extend to the east and a ha-ha. Wooded copse, which includes impressive Wellingtonia. Various garden stores.
The paddock is post and rail with electric fencing throughout and sown with mixed equine grass.
Location
Bloxham Grove commands a rural setting lying about 2 miles to the north-east of Bloxham. Originally a large working farm, in more recent times, the farm has been carefully and sympathetically redeveloped into a cluster of residential dwellings including The Farmhouse and various barn conversions.
Bloxham is an attractive and popular village situated in North Oxfordshire countryside about 3.5 miles to the south-west of the market town of Banbury.
Local facilities include a variety of shops, medical and dental surgeries, public houses and a local bus service.
The village is well served by schools including primary, secondary and Bloxham and Tudor Hall Public Schools.
Banbury offers a wider range of shopping facilities as well as access onto the M40 motorway (approximately 5.9 miles) at junction 11 and mainline rail services to London/Marylebone (approximately 56 minutes peak time). Oxford, with its excellent range of educational and cultural facilities, lies 26.7 miles to the south.
Sporting activities in the area include golf courses at Tadmarton Heath, Rye Hill (Milcombe), Banbury (Adderbury) and Cherwell Edge (Middleton Cheney); racing at Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwick and Cheltenham; full indoor sports complex in Banbury; theatres at Oxford, Stratford-upon-Avon, Chipping Norton and Warwick.
Soho Farmhouse at Great Tew lies 9.8 miles to the south-west.
All distances and times are approximate.
