The Croft A Distinctive Village Home with a Self-Contained Barn Conversion
Nestled in a charming Oxfordshire village, The Croft is an exquisite Grade II listed family home, stylishly updated and immaculately presented. Established wisteria and well-stocked flower beds frame the front elevation, creating a picture-perfect façade.
This distinctive property offers more than gracious countryside living. A particular highlight is the detached, fully self-contained, three-bedroom barn conversion, currently operated by the owners as an established guest house. For buyers seeking an investment opportunity, there may be potential to continue the existing holiday-let business, subject to the necessary arrangements and requirements. Alternatively, the accommodation lends itself perfectly to multigenerational living, providing independent space for grandparents, adult children or teenagers, or a welcoming retreat for visiting family and friends.
The Main Residence
On entering, the building's rich history is immediately apparent, complemented by the comforts of modern living. Character features include flagstone floors, oak beams, inglenook fireplaces with wood-burning stoves and open grates, and an impressive vaulted kitchen ceiling.
The ground floor comprises an entrance hall, kitchen, dining room, drawing room and living room. Upstairs, three deceptively spacious bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation, with fitted storage in the two largest. A generous secondary landing offers scope for use as a dressing area or study, alongside a family bathroom.
The Annexe
This contemporary barn conversion is a versatile addition to the main residence, sympathetically converted to create a self-contained dwelling. It features an open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining area, three bedrooms and two bathrooms, including an en-suite shower room serving the ground-floor bedroom. Upper-level windows overlook both the front and rear gardens, further enhancing the appeal of this independent accommodation.
Further information about the existing guest house operation and its trading performance is available on request, based on information provided by the vendors.
The Gardens
Extending to approximately 0.3 acres, the gardens provide a private haven designed for year-round enjoyment. A stream meanders through the centre, creating a tranquil atmosphere, while a summer house is perfectly positioned to enjoy the views and sunshine throughout the day.
Mature trees, including a striking walnut, willows, a silver birch and an apple tree, are complemented by varied shrubs and well-stocked flower beds, providing colour and fragrance through spring, summer and autumn. Raised beds offer space for growing vegetables, while distinctive features include a working well and a semicircular terrace overlooking the garden. A garden shed is discreetly positioned behind the annexe, with a further shed tucked away behind the summer house.
If you are looking for the idyllic and tranquil village lifestyle, then look no further.
