Description
The house lies behind a high wall with views over open countryside and takes full advantage of its setting with grand reception rooms overlooking the gardens. There is flexible bedroom accommodation on the first floor, and a large, former coach house could provide (with the necessary planning consents) further accommodation if required. The setting is completely private, with only one dwelling further on the lane. There is a terrace to the rear of the house, large, formal lawned areas, and scenic views over the neighbouring farmland.
The Old Rectory is privately situated just a few miles to the southwest of the historic university city of Oxford. The property is well located for communications: approx. 15 minutes by bus into Oxford (with a bus stop within close proximity of the house), under an hour to London by train and only 11 miles from London Oxford Airport.
