Description
Bush House is situated in an edge of village setting with outstanding countryside views. The property offers fabulous potential with stables, outbuildings and a hay barn, all within about 8 acres, ideal for equestrian activities.
Originating from the 1930s, this house retains many character features including parquet flooring in the main reception rooms, dado picture rails and high ceilings. This is balanced with the more recent contemporary two story extension completed in 2010/11.
The property now consists of a well-proportioned kitchen/breakfast room with built in cupboards and drawers around a central island unit. There is an oil fired Aga, Neff electric oven, and walk in pantry. This leads through to a rear hall with access onto the drive. There are three generous reception rooms with high ceilings and south facing windows. These include the dining room, overlooking the rear garden, the drawing room with stone fireplace and wood burning stove and stunning garden room with double glass doors leading out onto the south facing terrace. This room benefits from plenty of natural light, offering an ideal entertaining space for larger family groups. In addition there is a downstairs wc and utility room with shower and space for washing machine and tumble dryer.
On the first floor is the principal bedroom with its own dressing room and en suite shower room with dual aspect views over the gardens and fields beyond. Bedroom two is also furnished with a bathroom and dressing room area. There are three further double bedrooms and a family bathroom. There is the potential to extend the accommodation into the generous attic area, subject to planning consents.
The property is approached via a private gated gravel drive, offering plenty of parking for several vehicles including the double garage with automatic doors.
The gardens have been carefully landscaped and are an integral part of the property, extending to about an acre. There are herbaceous borders, pump fed streams and ponds, a wide terrace, parterre, orchard area and raised vegetable beds with fruit cages.
To the west of the property is the hay barn, workshops, three stables, tack room and yard area, muckheap and composting area, wood store, workshop and potting shed. There is separate access to the road.
The fields can be accessed via the garden, and are all fenced with wooden post and rail fencing with fitted water troughs. Trees have been planted along the boundary of the fields to offer shelter and shade, ideal for livestock and equestrian uses.
A wonderful home with so much to offer, in a very prominent part of Oxfordshire.
