Leafield, Witney, Oxfordshire, OX29

On the market for the first time since the 1970s, this fine home has beautiful views, a self contained annexe and is set in mature 0.74 acre plot with orchard within the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty . Convenient for a mainline services to Oxford & London.

This remarkable property truly lives up to its name, boasting glorious pastoral outlooks across undulating countryside within the prestigious Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. A rare opportunity to acquire a piece of history that has remained lovingly maintained by the same family for decades.

The charming main house has been thoughtfully created by joining a pair of period cottages believed to date from 1873, enhanced by a sympathetic 20th century addition. At the heart of this delightful home lies a homely kitchen featuring an electric Aga, perfectly flanked by a formal dining room and a magnificent triple aspect drawing room complete with bespoke cabinetry and welcoming log burner. In addition to a generous entrance hall there is a practical boot room and utility area – ideal for returning from countryside rambles with four-legged companions. The main house also benefits from solar cells that reduce utility bills.

The well-proportioned upstairs accommodation, accessed via a pair of staircases, offers excellent potential for further reconfiguration and updating to suit modern family life.

Positioned at the north edge of the mature 0.74-acre plot stands Priest Grove Cottage, a delightful self-contained annexe currently providing rental income. This two-bedroom detached cottage features a light-filled double aspect living and kitchen area, two generous double bedrooms with one having a gable window with superb countryside views. A substantial garage completes the accommodation.

The mature grounds are a particular highlight, encompassing stone and timber outhouses, a productive orchard, level croquet lawn, and well-tended kitchen garden – perfect for those seeking the quintessential country lifestyle.

An exceptional opportunity to acquire a unique Cotswolds property and annexe where the seller is not minded to explore the potential to create a separate dwelling subject to consents. Both house and cottage benefit from gas central heating & double glazing.

We anticipate demand to be strong and invite you to book your viewing early.

We are required by law to conduct anti-money laundering checks on all those selling or buying a property. Whilst we retain responsibility for ensuring checks and any ongoing monitoring are carried out correctly, the initial checks are carried out on our behalf by Lifetime Legal who will contact you once you have agreed to instruct us in your sale or had an offer accepted on a property you wish to buy. The cost of these checks is £75 (incl. VAT), which covers the cost of obtaining relevant data and any manual checks and monitoring which might be required. This fee will need to be paid by you in advance of us publishing your property (in the case of a vendor) or issuing a memorandum of sale (in the case of a buyer), directly to Lifetime Legal, and is non-refundable. We will receive some of the fee taken by Lifetime Legal to compensate for its role in the provision of these checks.
