Comments from the sellers -
What drew us to this location initially was the instant access to Oxford, combined with the beauty of the surrounding countryside. The setting is incredibly special, with 360 degrees of uninterrupted views, yet despite having neighbours nearby, it remains a private idyll.
The house gives you that rare feeling of living in the countryside and enjoying the “good life.” We’ve always kept chickens, enjoying free-range eggs year-round, along with a productive vegetable garden. Over the years, we have carefully chosen our plants, trees and flowers to attract song birds and bees and the gardens are now alive with wildlife and colour, there is such a thrill in seeing herons, barn owls, and rabbits thriving alongside us.
A couple of weeks ago, we even watched two hares dancing and prancing in the field, one of those magical moments that perfectly captures the essence of Caspian Barn.
We particularly love the sense of space created by the double height ceilings. The house feels light, open and calm.
The separate annexe has also been incredibly useful, giving independence to teenagers and Grandparents alike, it offers a separate garden and parking whilst still being close to the hub of the home.
During lockdown, we built what is currently used as a studio. It sits a comfortable distance from the main house and could equally work as further accommodation or an office.
Overall, it is a truly special home and a perfect setting for entertaining family and friends.
