Troy is a Grade II Listed Regency former farmhouse of traditionally symmetrical Georgian construction with a handsome facade of local blue glazed bricks, with red brick reveal. To the front of the house there are four Georgian windows with a central venetian arched window, domed roof porch and venetian entrance door. It is understood that around 1926 the house was adjoined to the nextdoor cottages and barns, to create the west wing and courtyard. The house is hidden, down a gravel drive accessed through pyramid-mounted brick gate pillars and iron gates. The drive sweeps around, flanked by pretty and mature crab apple and walnut trees, to the gravel forecourt in front of the house. The recently restored and now upgraded house, including a new kitchen, boot room, laundry room and butler's pantry has the perfect combination of grand entertaining spaces and less formal family accommodation. Arranged over three floors, with the ground floor divided from the upper ground level in the main house to a lower ground level in the west wing, there are high ceilings and large windows, along with elegant panelling, and parquet flooring throughout most of the rooms as well as open fireplaces. Within the west wing, with its own access is the self-contained one bedroom apartment. Remarkably, the house had remained in the possession of the same family for two generations until 2018. The current owners have since fully restored the property in a sensitive manner, restoring original features throughout, as well as adding modern systems and design, by Alex Cochrane Architects, including a beautiful Plain English kitchen, laundry room and boot room. They have also transformed the gardens and grounds with the help of the award-winning garden designer Todd Longstaffe Gowan. The layout of the accommodation can be found on the enclosed floorplans.

Troy is nestled amidst farmland, south of the picturesque village of Ewelme, within a conservation area Situated in the Chiltern Hills in South Oxfordshire. The village is home to the beautiful Saint Mary's Church, where notable figures like Thomas Chaucer, Alice de la Pole, and Jerome K. Jerome are buried. It is also home to the oldest continuously operating primary school, established in 1414. Henley-on-Thames, located 9 miles away, offers a wide range of amenities and leisure activities. Just under 3 miles to the west lies the charming market town of Wallingford, situated along the banks of the River Thames, offering local independent shops, dining options, cafés, and a large Waitrose supermarket. Despite Troy's idyllic rural setting, accessible via picturesque lanes lined with hedgerows, it's remarkably well connected. Junction 6 on the M40 is less than 10 miles away, and Didcot Parkway, only 10 miles distant, offers a 45-minute train ride to London Paddington. Reading, which is 13 miles away and offers a direct fast train into London on the Elizabeth Line. Ewelme has access to high-speed broadband, making it one of the first rural parishes in Oxfordshire to benefit from this technology. London is a mere 45 miles away. Troy's location makes it an ideal base for accessing some of the country's top schools. Independent schools in the vicinity include those in Oxford (16 miles away), Moulsford Prep School, Cranford House, The Oratory Prep, Downe House, Radley College, Abingdon School, and the European School in Abingdon. Further options include Wycombe Abbey for Girls in High Wycombe, Pangbourne College, Bradfield College, Wellington College, and Eton College. Leisure opportunities abound, including horse racing at Newbury, rowing at Henley Royal Regatta, scenic walking and riding along numerous bridleways and footpaths near the property, as well as along the nearby Icknield Way and in the Chiltern Hills.

Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
