Woodeaton, Oxford, OX3

Dating back to the 18th century and tucked away in a former farmyard, this stone-built barn has been impeccably converted to create a characterful and historic family home with a high specification finish and emphasis on environmental quality. The property is highly insulated throughout, with the added benefit of an Air Source Heat Pump and underfloor heating across the lower storey. Due to the top standard the home achieves, any owner will benefit from a grant of £1,803.80 p.a. (paid quarterly up to August 2027).

Careful sustainable design has helped to create a bright and airy space that retains its historic charm through the retention of the quintessential vaulted ceilings and the original exposed timbers.

The focal point of the home is an expansive kitchen / dining room with stone-tile flooring, wood-finished countertops, breakfast bar, separate and panoramic views out onto the immaculately landscaped garden. This sunny outlook is shared by the second reception room which, with a wood-burning stove, offers a cosy space to retire to in the evenings. On the opposing side of the floor a primary suite has been created consisting of a double bedroom with dual aspect and garden access, in addition to a en-suite bathroom with walk-in shower, and a separate study / walk-in wardrobe. On the first floor there are two further bedrooms, both with their own excellently finished bathrooms.

Delicate care has been taken over the landscaping of the lawn gardens, which moves between carefully maintained flower beds, stone footpaths, patios, and outdoor seating, before culminating in an eye-catching water-feature and Koi pond. There are substantial raised vegetable beds at the rear of the property, thoughtfully positioned to benefit from the southern sun. A private gate provides access to the extensive shingle drive which offers parking for multiple vehicles. The home also benefits from a separate parcel of land across the lane. Ducting is in place for a water and electricity supply, with a drainage connection already in place. It presents an exciting opportunity for development, and is well-suited for the creation of a home-office, shepherd hut, or car-port (STPP).
