Description
ABOUT THIS HOUSE
The Old Rectory is a stunning Grade II Listed village house, situated in the Oxfordshire village of Mixbury. Originally built in 1806 and extended in 1855, The Old Rectory was home to The 1st Earl of Selbourne, who was born there in 1812.
The current owners have undertaken a significant programme of works, with great flare and huge attention to detail, and the end result is a simply magnificent and very special village house. Highlights include the beautiful and well equipped kitchen and boot room, which were both designed by Martin Moore. It is the attention to detail that really stands out and includes all door furniture by McKinney or Vaughan, beautifully restored original church radiators and hand painted de Gournay wallpaper, as well as a wealth of original period features including carved ceilings, original shutters and beautiful fireplaces.
This really is the perfect mix of a period house that has been modernised sympathetically to create the ultimate family home. The rooms are all of excellent proportion and filled with natural light. The Drawing room is particularly impressive with a large bay window, restored marquetry wooden floor and the stunning carved ceiling. There is also a gym and cinema room, complete with surround sound. The seven bedrooms are all of good size and the bathrooms are immaculate. The gardens extend to approximately 4.45 acres. There is stabling, garaging and additional outbuildings, with scope to further convert to guest accommodation. The current owners also resurfaced the tennis court and put in the outdoor heated swimming pool.
