Features and description
A rare and exciting opportunity to purchase a small farmstead with secluded gardens, farm buildings and a paddock amounting to 3 acres. The large 3 bedroom Cotswold stone farmhouse nestles on the edge of the beautiful Hamlet of Field Assarts in the parish of Swinbrook and Asthall. The house requires some modernisation, whilst the four farm buildings offer huge potential to develop to a range of uses (subject to any necessary consents). Additional land is available by separate negotiation.
Location - Field Assarts is a small hamlet approximately one mile from the nearby village of Leafield. Leafield's amenities include a shop and post office, village pub, village hall, restaurant and Churches. There is also a pre-school group, playground and primary school. Field Assarts lies in the middle of the triangle formed by the towns of Witney, Burford and Charlbury, which offer many services and amenities. There is good access to London and Oxford from the mainline station at Charlbury.
Description - The property currently comprises a three bedroom detached house of Cotswold stone elevations under a plain tiled roof and requiring modernisation throughout. It is set in a secluded plot surrounded by open fields and accessed by a private vehicular access lane, which splits to lead down to the barns, which offer huge potential for conversion (subject to planning permission), outbuilding and land amounting to approximately three acres in total. There is vehicular access to the side of the property leading to a simple detached garage and lean to.
The Farmhouse - The accommodation is arranged over two floors comprising an entrance porch leading to the Kitchen with a walk-in pantry, utility room, dining room with fireplace, Jack and Jill cloakroom with WC and basin, reception room with fireplace and shutters to the windows and a Snug with fireplace on the ground floor. On the first floor there are three generous double bedrooms all with high ceilings and a separate bathroom.
Outside - Dodds Farmhouse has mature secluded gardens on all sides and is surrounded by open fields with a single garage and driveway access. There is a separate gated access that leads to the farm buildings.
Included in the sale are 4 barns/outbuildings, which provide a fantastic opportunity to develop (subject to the necessary planning consents) and some land. In all the property extends to approximately 3 acres.
The four barns/outbuildings consist of a Stone barn under an oak framed roof with lean-to with an attached "L" shaped stone barn, a Free standing stone barn, which is currently dilapidated, a 4 bay steel framed Dutch Barn with a rear pole barn beyond, amounting to approximately 4,000sqft.
