Icknield Place is a substantial family house set back from the lane with a sweeping in/out drive between twin wrought iron electric gate. Constructed of red brick under a tiled roof, the house has a beautiful sense of arrival. Great care has been taken to maintain the property's condition, integrity and wealth of period features over the years. There is ample scope for a new family to add their touches during their ownership.

Behind a welcoming porch is a reception hall leading to multiple reception rooms that are both light and bright. The drawing room is triple aspect with a fireplace and double doors to a large conservatory with exceptional views over the garden. Also off the hall are the dining room with a delightful bay window and study overlooking the drive. The kitchen/breakfast room has multiple wall and base units under a marble worktop and a five-door Aga. There is access to the boot room and side entrance as well as a door connecting the sizable utility room encompassing a cloakroom with shower. Beyond is a door though to the integrated double garage.

Above is a generous principal bedroom with an en suite bathroom and dressing area. An additional three bedrooms and a further family bathroom enjoy views over the gardens to the front or to the rear. There are paddocks beyond, creating a delightful feeling of space.

Outside

To the side of the house is a double garage with electric doors and an adjoining store with a gardener's WC. A sun terrace wraps around the back of the house to maximise the beautiful views over the garden. There is a valuable machinery store and a prominent former racing-pigeon loft with plenty of scope for a home office and an annexe subject to the usual planning consents.

The extensive and private gardens are mostly laid to lawn whilst studded with mature trees. Beyond there are views over paddocks in either direction.


Icknield Place enjoys a beautiful setting on the edge of the popular no-through village of Aston Rowant. The area is blessed with a comprehensive network of footpaths and bridleways.

Access to London is superb. Junction 6 of the M40 and the 24-hour Oxford Tube stop is only a mile away. Day-to-day shopping facilities can be found in the pretty market towns of Watlington, 4 miles to the South, and Thame, 6 miles to the north.

The larger centres of Henley-on-Thames (15 miles) and Oxford (17 miles) are also easily accessible.

There is a mainline rail service from either High Wycombe, Princes Risborough or Haddenham & Thame Parkway to London Marylebone in approximately 35 minutes. Schools in the area include a Church of England primary school in the village, Watlington Primary School, Lewknor Church of England Primary School, Icknield Community College and Lord Williams Schools in Thame. The Oxford schools include Dragon School, Summer Fields School, Magdalen College School, Cothill House School and St. Edward's School in Summertown.

    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
