Property description

Bear House is an imposing Grade II listed character property dating from the 17th Century benefiting from spacious and characterful accommodation with the added benefit of detached converted stable block that has been sympathetically converted to provide a fantastic work from home facility, studio/gym and separate one bedroom apartment, perfectly suited as either an annex to the main house or use as an opportunity to generate rental income. The main house, a former coaching inn has seen many changes during its historic past and is now a delightful family home complimented by a fully enclose garden measuring between a third and half an acre. Stunning features such as an original inglenook fire place with bread oven have been complimented by many improvements by the existing owners to include a newly fitted kitchen with the provision of under floor heating and gas fired stove to the second reception room. Bear House has been the subject of interest and research by local historians and it is reported that parts of the house have seen many uses in the past such as a scout hall, pub and a former haulage yard transporting stones for the construction of Stanford Church. Stanford in the Vale is a thriving village benefiting from excellent amenities which include a village pub, supermarket, post and news agents, primary school, village hall, social club and churches. Stanford in the Vale also provides excellent access to Swindon and Oxford with the market town of Faringdon and Wantage easily reached within a ten minute drive. High speed rail access to London is via Didcot Parkway and approximately thirty minutes drive.
