Description
ABOUT THIS HOUSE
Dating back to the 1800’s, Castle Hill Cottage is a wonderful opportunity to purchase a beautifully preserved, versatile character property, enjoying a secluded location and nestled in the sought-after village of Britwell Salome. Its unique blend of rural charm, flexible accommodation and a generous plot size makes it a perfect property for both equestrian experts or those looking for a life in the Oxfordshire countryside. There are approximately 3.5 acres of land which includes attractive gardens immediately surrounding the cottage as well as enclosed and well-tended grazing land.
The property has been lovingly improved by its current owners over the years to include a substantial and unique castellated extension with its own entrance, which blends effortlessly with the original structure. With its own kitchen/reception room and a characterful wooden spiral staircase that leads up to the bedroom and bathroom, this side of the house also offers a unique opportunity to also be used as separate accommodation. The cottage is situated at the end of a leafy lane and reached via a sweeping driveway, flanked either side by its paddocks and leads to the yard and stables at the top of the driveway. The modern, well-equipped block of stables can house up to four horses and is complemented by an additional tack / feed room and hay barn.
