Brightwell Baldwin, Watlington, OX49

The house is situated in an elevated position that ensures excellent daylighting and some fine extended views over neighbouring farmland. There are generous and well-stocked landscaped gardens to both front and rear together with an oak clad outbuilding providing a studio/office/store. Off-road parking for two vehicles lies alongside.

A roof conversion together with extensions to both the flank and rear have resulted in generous family accommodation amounting to almost 2000 square feet. There are 5 bedrooms in total with 3 bathrooms including a master bedroom suite that includes an en suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe or dressing room.

On the ground floor there are two large reception areas, one with a solid fuel stove and French doors to the garden and the other open plan to a comprehensively fitted modern kitchen with utility room alongside. Much thought was been given to the remodelling of the house and this has resulted in an excellent arrangement of rooms on all three floors. A contemporary interior is well-equipped and employs some attractive finishes including oak flooring to the ground floor.

Garden

From the road a pathway with lavender borders leads across an area of lawn planted with young fruit trees to the front door. There are two storage sheds here. A gate and side path to rear garden.
The rear garden is south-west facing. A stone paved terrace extends from the rear of the house with a Wisteria clad pergola providing a shaded area. Steps lead up to a shaped lawn with richly stocked beds and borders incorporating a wide and interesting variety of plants, shrubs and ornamental trees. An enclosed area conceals a log store and the oil storage
tank.
An oak-framed and clad multi-purpose building currently provides an office and studio/Games room but this part of the building previously served as a garage and the double doors still remain, so reinstatement would not be difficult. There are 2 private parking bays here.

A shared private driveway provides vehicular access to a parking area for two vehicles. The garage/workshop/office/store lies adjacent.
