Property Details

On the market for the first time since 1944, Tichfield, Combe, offers a large 4 bed country home with outbuildings and approx 1 acre South-facing site including paddock and pool. Extended and refurbished in 1977 with all main rooms garden-facing, now ripe for modernising and extending to a buyer’s taste.
Subject to Planning, the 33m approx frontage and large site also have long-term development potential for a new house, second house or more

A unique chance to acquire and create a bespoke country home on a rare under-developed site, with the convenience of rail services to London, highly regarded Combe primary school, Oxford schools, medieval church, village community and the Cotswolds on your doorstep.
Combe Train Station (approx. 1 Mile), Long Hanborough (1.8 Miles), Oxford Parkway (approx 9.9 Miles).

On the edge of picturesque Combe, but outside the Conservation Area (so easier to alter/extend etc), and the private Combe steps into Blenheim Park and to Woodstock a short walk away. Tichfield also has a private access from its paddock to the Combe playing fields/playground and church.

The house is positioned in the front corner of a generous South-facing plot of approximately 1 acre. The grounds give a host of possibilities with unspoilt countryside views to Long Hanborough in the distance, and a truly private garden where croquet, badminton, swimming, ponies, chickens, tree houses, orchard and garden produce, and tea on the terrace, have been enjoyed by five generations of the same family since 1944.

The 1977 architect-designed extension and alterations thoughtfully arranged all rooms to face the garden/South, and service rooms, staircase and corridors along the North/street elevation. There is more recent double glazing throughout, all rooms are generous in size (including three double bedrooms) and the old open fireplace remains in the sitting room.
