Church Farmhouse is a beautiful 16th century house with late Victorian additions which has been sympathetically renovated with much attention to detail to create a stylish country home. Located within the ring road, it provides the very rare opportunity for the combination of country and city living. In addition, Church Farmhouse benefits from a detached two bedroom cottage and a barn which has been converted to provide an excellent studio/home office or an additional one bed cottage. The property is surrounded by most attractive mature walled gardens providing a lovely private setting and has views over the surrounding hills.
Internally, the beautifully presented accommodation which has many retained period features is arranged over three floors. The ground floor provides a lovely farmhouse kitchen with large dining area and handmade fitted units with integrated appliances and a 4 oven gas-fired Aga. Off the kitchen are a study, laundry room and the boot room with door to the garden and access to a useful loft storage area. The three reception rooms include a dining/play room, a charming room with window seats, book shelves and stone fireplace with wood burning stove, a spacious sitting room which leads off the kitchen, with attractive large bay window with door opening to the garden, and of particular note is the oak panelled drawing room with window seats and period stone and carved wood fireplace. The first floor provides the family bathroom and four bedrooms including the most attractive principal bedroom with 17th century stone fireplace and a beautifully fitted en-suite bathroom/dressing room. Providing an excellent retreat for teenagers is the second floor which comprises two bedrooms, a bathroom and a sitting room/study area.

In addition to the main house, there is a detached two bedroom cottage, which was refurbished in 2014 with kitchen and sitting room and courtyard garden together with a converted barn/studio both located off the large courtyard.

The mature walled gardens complement the house and provide a particularly attractive setting. Divided into three areas the front garden is laid to lawn enclosed by clipped boxed hedging with mature herbaceous borders, trees and a kitchen garden. Located at the side of the house is a pretty secluded enclosed area with raised pond and an al fresco dining/barbeque area with pergola adorned with climbing plants. From here a gate leads to the West facing garden which is principally laid to lawn with mature borders, shrubs, trees and a greenhouse. From here a door in the wall leads to the large courtyard which provides extensive parking. Within the gardens are two sheds.

Church Farmhouse is situated in Upper Wolvercote close to the 14th Century church of St Peter. Wolvercote maintains its village atmosphere and amenities include a shop, pub, GP surgery, village hall, primary school, Montessori nursery, clubs, societies. The well-known Trout and Perch, on the banks of the Thames, are a short walk across Port meadow. The property is minutes from the wide, open spaces of Port Meadow, the Oxford Canal and within a short distance of Lynam's School (The Dragon pre-school) and about a mile from the parade of shops at Summertown which include a Marks and Spencer's food hall and public library. There are 4 gyms nearby including the Oxfordshire Health & Rackets Club on the Woodstock Road. St Edward's School is within a mile of the property and the city centre 2.5 miles. There is a very regular bus service to the city centre (approximately 15 mins). North Oxford is arguably the most favoured suburb of this historic centre and provides very good access to the wide variety of schools including the Dragon, Summerfields, St Edwards and Oxford High. The property is well positioned for communications: it has easy access to the ring road, A40, A34 and M40. There are regular trains to Paddington and Marylebone from Oxford and Oxford Parkway
