5 bedroom property with land

Cowleas Barn will be an extraordinary house created out of the grounds of a period house on the edge of the village of Cuddington. The house has been cleverly and thoughtfully designed; Rectory Homes are now offering the next owner the opportunity to build out this once-in-a-lifetime house.

The architecture is contemporary and takes advantage of the fine views over neighbouring fields. The design is flexible, and the accommodation layout can be amended if required. The present layout comprises a large sitting room with a balcony to the first floor enjoying views over open countryside; this could be converted to a wonderful principal bedroom if required. There are five bedrooms, including two suites planned in the accommodation, plus six reception areas, including an impressive kitchen/breakfast room and a gym.

Planning application number: 20/00262/APP (Aylesbury Vale District Council)

The house sits on the edge of the village of Cuddington, a small, highly desirable village that has excellent facilities, including a local school, a church, a village hall, and a village shop. It also counts a post office, a hairdresser, and an occasional cinema, amongst other amenities.

Nearby, within easy reach, is the market town of Thame which has a wider range of facilities, including supermarkets and Haddenham and Thame railway station, which offers a fast railway service (from 36 minutes) into London Marylebone.

The M40 Junction 7 is also reached within an easy drive. Amenities generally in the area are excellent, with golf at The Oxfordshire Golf Hotel & Spa, fine dining at Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons, Silverstone racing circuit within an hour, and the city of Oxford approximately 30 minutes.

Schooling is excellent in the area with close-to-hand Ashfold School in Dorton, Aylesbury Grammar School, and also the highly rated schools in Oxford, including Magdalen College School, Summer Fields School, Radley College, Headington School and Oxford High School, amongst many others.
