High Street, Long Wittenham, Abingdon, Oxfordshire, OX14

A beautiful Grade II Listed converted barn, originally dating from the 1700’s, located in a tucked away position in this highly sought after village.

ABOUT THIS HOUSE
Willingtons Barn is located in a wonderfully tucked away position within the highly sought after village of Long Wittenham. The barn is believed to date from about 1780 and was converted in 1990, and has since been lived in by the current owners. The conversion is sympathetic to the character of the original building with beautiful old beams and attractive brick work. The rooms are well proportioned, with good ceiling height and the south facing aspect towards the garden flood the principle rooms with natural light.

In addition to the five bedrooms in the house, there is a separate one bedroom annexe and an adjoining studio, with mezzanine above, which could be used as a studio or for any number of uses including a home office, a gym, a cinema room or converted into further annexe accommodation.

The large south facing gardens are private, with mature planting.

Willingtons Barn is a superb opportunity for anyone looking for a house in a vibrant and active village, yet in a tucked away and private location. It is also ideally located for commuting to London.
