Description
Culworth House is truly unique property that offers an array of extraordinary opportunities beyond those of a typical home. An elegant village house in an edge of village position backing onto countryside on the border of Oxfordshire and Northamptonshire.
Substantial Grade II Listed house of Georgian/mid-18th century origins, remodelled in the 19th century. The property is predominately of square coursed ironstone under a hipped slate roof. The service wing to the rear has rendered elevations.
Wealth of period features including fireplaces, sash windows, wood-panelled walls and an early 19th century principal staircase with turned balusters.
Originally a private house, converted into a nursing home in 1987 and returned to a private home in 2019/2020.
Extensive accommodation on three floors with a two storey service wing offering versatile accommodation for guest, staff or income stream. There is a self-contained two bedroom flat on the second floor with an external staircase.
The current owners have undertaken a substantial restoration and improvement programme particularly to the main house, very much bringing it into the 21st century. As a result, the property now offers fantastic family living, taking advantage of the property’s generous proportions. Works include re-roofing to the main Georgian living area, upgrading of the wiring, plumbing, new bespoke kitchen and breakfast room, bath/shower fittings, replacement or refurbished windows where necessary, re-flooring/carpeting, re-decoration. Generally the improvement works to the main house have been finished all creating a comfortable spacious house offering the splendour associated with its Georgian architecture. Improvement works can still be undertaken to the second floor particularly to finish the works already commenced.
The wing of the property includes well-appointed apartments and also a self contained flat, the latter currently let out generating a steady income stream. These could also be used for relatives or staff. There are further areas within the wing that could be improved for the next owner to adapt to suit their own needs.
Versatility is a key element of this house, and with approximately 15,000 sq ft of accommodation, the options are extensive and varied for creating an even larger house catering for multi-generational living; annexe accommodation; income stream; scope for alteration to a hotel/wedding venue/leisure use, subject to the relevant consents.
Nestled in extensive gardens, grounds and a lake of about five acres, it is renowned for hosting annual concerts ‘Song by the Lake’ that draw visitors from far and wide. The stunning surrounding make it an ideal venue for such niche events, complete with electricity supply for the gazebo by the lake to enhance any special occasion. There extensive areas of lawn, interspersed with pergola, wisteria, mature trees, box and yew.
Registered as a location house, Culworth House has been featured in photoshoot and music video, digital lifestyle platform Muddy Stillettos under ‘what’s on’ section of entertainment, showcasing its timeless beauty and distinctive charm. The expansive, much cared for gardens provide a perfect backdrop for open garden events and intimate dinner clubs, creating memorable experiences.
There are two driveways into the property (front and rear). The front drive from the road under the stone arch has shared access, with the provision of five allocated parking bays for the residential care lodges to the west of the property.
There is plenty of room for several cars to park to the front of the property. There is a second (rear) drive from the road giving direct access to the service wing of the house and ample parking for several cars.
