Perfect for weekend or occasional use is this delightful & unique studio retreat in 400 acres of Capability Brown grounds. A charming and clever conversion of a barn on the Kirtlington Park estate, beautifully presented throughout. Furnished. *COUNCIL TAX, WATER, INTERNET INCLUDED*
Kirtlington needs little introducton locally! It is, simply, one of the most popular villages in North Oxfordshire. There are many reasons for being here. A pint and delicious locally grown produce in the Oxford Arms or Dashwood. Beautiful walks by the canal, or through the old quarry. A fine First school that attracts families from far and wide. And with Oxford, Birmingham and London easily accessible via road and fast rail services, the mix of charming village with city access is perfect.
In 1741 Sir James Dashwood commissioned designs for a new mansion on his estate, to be set in a clearing made in what had previously been known as the Great Wood, a wood of oak and Spanish chestnut. The house was ready for occupation by 1746 and the gardens were initially influenced by the then Royal Gardener, Thomas Greening, with Lancelot "Capability" Brown then commissioned to design and execute another of the wonderful landscaped yet seemingly organic designs for which he is so well known.
Extending to circa 400 acres, the parkland that cossets the houses is exquisite rolling pasture punctuated by mature trees. Initially the house is hidden from view when first entering the park, but as you top the rise suddenly the Palladian mansion appears with all the grandeur expected.
Drive across the frontage and curve round the left where the drive culminates in a parking area. Here you get the first glimpse of the barn. The door in the stone facade takes you into the current bedroom area so we shall enter via the other side. The main door leads into a small inner hall. Look right and above you the ceiling rises away right up into the roof void, framed by delightful timber trusses. On the right a range of high quality kitchen units contains a fridge and freezer, modern oven and hob, and in addition a further clever dresser has been added with shelves, racks etc built in. The seating space to the far end ranges round a wood burner, and separating it from the current bedroom area is a well designed wall of display shelves, cupboards etc providing excellent practical storage.
On the other side of the shelves, a double bed sits to one end with ample room at the other for a dressing table and chair. The part glazed door here opens onto the grass outside, to the side of which is a small terrace complete with bench from which to enjoy the adorable view past the trees towards the parkland beyond. Back into the barn, a sliding door opens into a very wll packaged shower room. To one end the shower is large and pristinely presented. To the other, the cupboard hides both further storage and also a washing machine, next to the sink and wc. And above, a ladder leads to just about the most interesting bit of extra space for use as an office, we know! Absolutely charming.
