This Grade II listed stone ‘Long House’ offers a unique opportunity for those looking to invest in a property with both character and renovation potential. Nestled in the heart of a vibrant village, the home features a striking gable end that enhances its historic charm. Spanning two storeys plus an attic—ideal for conversion—the structure is composed of local coarsed ironstone rubble and showcases traditional casement windows along with gas-fired heating.
Entering the property reveals a wealth of period features such as open fireplaces, wood-panelled doors, and beamed ceilings. The layout presents flexibility, with two separate reception rooms located at opposite ends of the ground floor. The kitchen is equipped with an Aga that not only serves as a cooking source but also heats water and upstairs radiators, complemented by built-in base-level units and dual sinks.
On the first floor, three well-proportioned double bedrooms are accessible from the landing, alongside a family bathroom. This versatile space can easily be tailored to modern living requirements.
The exterior includes a private gravel driveway with ample parking and a detached stone garage featuring power and light connectivity. Enclosed by walls, the delightful English cottage gardens offer tranquil outdoor spaces with established lawn areas, seating options, and richly stocked borders that evolve through the seasons.
Located in Byfield, this property benefits from access to essential community amenities including a public house, medical centre, village shop & post office. The local primary school has an outstanding rating from Ofsted (2021), enhancing its appeal for families. For broader services and transport links, Banbury and Daventry are just short drives away; Banbury's mainline station provides quick rail access to London Marylebone in under an hour while convenient motorway connections (M40 & M1) make travel to London and Birmingham straightforward.
This property stands out as an enticing project where historic features can be integrated with contemporary needs, making it well-suited for buyers seeking both charm and investment potential in a desirable village setting.
