Property description

A handsome Grade II listed former Farmhouse dating, we believe, from the early 1600\‘s occupying a prominent position in the centre of the old village. The house boasts beautifully proportioned accommodation over four floors along with a vast amount of charm and character with many original period features on show throughout the property including exposed beams and stonework in most of the principal rooms, exposed roof timbers, fireplaces, leaded windows, wall paneling and flagstone floors. There is also particular potential for an independently accessed Annex/Flat in the rear wing of the property that comprises a Family Room and En-Suite double Bedroom above, ideal for an elderly relative or older child wanting independence.

The finely balanced accommodation has wonderful high ceilings throughout the property and is beautifully presented with all original features retained at every opportunity. This comprises a welcoming flagstone Entrance Hall, an elegant Sitting Room with fireplace, Farmhouse Kitchen with flagstones and a large fireplace, Cellar below providing excellent storage, Family Room with cottage staircase leading to the En-Suite Guest Bedroom, timber framed Conservatory/Garden Room overlooking the rear garden and Cloakroom.  On the first floor there are two Bedrooms, a beautiful light and airy Master Bedroom with fitted wardrobes, a second double Bedroom, large Family Bathroom and a separate WC.  A fine old staircase leads to the second floor with two further Bedrooms, each with dormer windows, and a very useful Landing/Study Area.  

The house has a very established and well tended rear garden that enjoys a high degree of seclusion and also benefits from a gated pedestrian rear access on to Mill Street.  Heating is gas fired to radiators.  

Period houses of this stature rarely come to the open market in Eynsham and we strongly recommend early viewing.
