This historic property, formerly the village Post Office, offers a unique opportunity for renovation and investment in a charming village setting. Built from stone and topped with a tiled roof, this residence boasts a rich history spanning 360 years. Although it has undergone thoughtful renovations in recent years, it remains unlisted and presents ample potential for further development or customization.
The interior features a blend of period charm and modern conveniences, including Nest remote heating controls and an integrated Alexa-compatible speaker system. The ground floor is designed with three inviting reception rooms that exude character, while the centrally located kitchen/breakfast room serves as a functional hub for family gatherings. An additional study and utility room complement the entrance hall, enhancing the practicality of the layout.
Ascending to the upper floors, you will find four well-proportioned bedrooms, each accompanied by either a bath or shower room. This arrangement could be ideal for families or as rental units for potential income generation.
The property is set against the backdrop of a walled garden that includes a private terrace, barbecue area, and a versatile outbuilding with possibilities for conversion into a home office or studio space. The main garden is primarily laid to lawn with established herbaceous borders and mature trees, providing both aesthetic appeal and privacy. There is also considerable potential for expansion, including options for creating a garage block, an annex, or even another dwelling—subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions.
Nestled in the heart of South Newington, this property enjoys proximity to other period homes and peaceful surroundings. Local amenities include The Duck Pond pub with its popular restaurant and St Peter’s Church from the 13th century. The village hall serves as a community hub that hosts various events and activities throughout the year.
For more extensive services, nearby Bloxham offers medical facilities alongside supermarket shopping options. Educational institutions are well-represented in the area; primary schools are available in Great Tew, Bloxham, Hook Norton, and Deddington while secondary education options include Warriner School in Bloxham and Chipping Norton School. Furthermore, several esteemed prep schools exist within easy reach.
This property's rich history combined with its location makes it an appealing prospect for those looking to invest in renovation opportunities while enjoying all that village life has to offer.
