Description
Description
Down House is a handsome Grade II listed village home built of Cotswold stone under a traditional roof, occupying a prominent central position with views over its own paddock and an additional 3.5 acres of gardens and grounds. The house was sensitively renovated 5 years ago by HAM Interiors. The accommodation is arranged over three floors, offering balanced family living with two reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room with Everhot, and five bedrooms. Gardens include a terrace, walled garden, orchard and productive vegetable plot.
The Barn and outbuildings are set within the gardens. Planning permission is in place to convert into a separate 5000 square foot dwelling, together forming an exceptional lifestyle and development opportunity.
Location
The village of Shilton is within a conservation area and is centred around a pretty village green with a ford to cross the Shill Brook. Within the village is the popular 17th Century Rose and Crown pub as well as a village hall and church. The larger town of Burford is three miles away and provides local and boutique shopping, restaurants and schooling.
