7 bedroom detached house

Burmington Leys dates from the mid 19th
Century and has many well-proportioned rooms
designed in a classic 4 square layout arranged
on three floors with extensive cellarage beneath.
The majority of the principal rooms are dual
aspect and the property has many traditional
features including sash windows, high ceilings
and open fireplaces. The property has recently
been subject to a significant refurbishment
programme particularly the bathrooms. The
house is approached off the village lane
through a pair of wrought iron gates, over a
gravelled drive which leads to a turning area
at the front of the property. The front door is
entered through a portico porch which opens
into a gracious hall off which are the principal
reception rooms, a cloakroom and a staircase
to the first floor. The reception rooms comprise:
a sitting room with bay window and open
fireplace with stone surround, opposite is the
drawing room with a bay window and an open
fireplace.
At the back of the hall is the dining room with
bay window, French doors to the garden and a
fireplace. At the rear of the house is the kitchen
with a Chinese slate floor and fitted kitchen
units with 4 oven oil fired Aga, and a door to the
back stairs alongside a door to the dining room.
Another door leads into the large utility room
with built in storage, oil fired condensing boiler,
walk in larder, plumbing for washing machine
and a door to the back courtyard. A door beside
the kitchen leads down to the extensive cellars.
From the hall, stairs rise to the first floor landing,
off which are 4 double bedrooms, 3 of which are
en-suite, a study, separate shower room and a
walk-in airing cupboard. The stairs continue to
the second floor, where there are three further
bedroom suites, a playroom, and a gym.

Burmington Leys is set the on the edge of the
rural hamlet of Burmington, with panoramic
views over surrounding farmland. The village is
two miles south of Shipston-on-Stour and six
miles to the north west of Moreton-in-Marsh.
Both towns provide for most everyday needs,
whilst the larger centres of Banbury, Stratfordupon-
Avon and Oxford have more extensive
shopping, leisure and educational amenities.
A regular main line service runs from Banbury
to London Marylebone taking from 55 minutes
and also from Moreton-in-Marsh to Oxford and
London, Paddington taking 35 and 100 minutes
respectively.

The property stands in approximately 1.6 acres
of mainly lawned garden which surround the
house and contains a variety of mature trees
and shrubs. In the north west corner planning
permission (which has now expired) has
been granted for a stable block, which can be
accessed by a right of way over the rear drive.
Also within the garden is a heated swimming
pool with retractable cover and adjacent cabin
style changing room with sauna and sitting area.
Attached to the house is a single garage.
