Dating back to the early 17th century with subsequent extensions, this substantial Grade II listed house offers significant renovation potential in Sutton Courtenay. Having been a cherished family residence for nearly five decades, it now requires modernization to fully realize its charm. The front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall featuring a beautiful circular Georgian staircase that leads to two additional floors. With four spacious reception rooms boasting high ceilings and period fireplaces, the property provides versatile living spaces, notably the double-aspect drawing room adorned with panelled walls and intricate ceiling beams. The expansive kitchen/breakfast area includes an Aga and is complemented by a laundry room and walk-in larder. The first floor accommodates five generously sized bedrooms and three bathrooms, highlighted by a light-filled principal suite. An additional staircase leads to the second floor with two more bedrooms and another bathroom.
The property is approached through impressive gated walls, leading to a gravel driveway that offers ample parking adjacent to the large timber barn, which features garages as well as original stables and a tack room. A detached two-bedroom cottage adds further appeal for potential rental income or guest accommodation. The gardens are notably extensive, primarily laid out to lawn with mature shrubs and trees, including a swimming pool on the southern side of the house and an orchard beyond the main garden gate. In addition, there’s a summer house positioned near a former grass tennis court and paddock extending down to Ginge Brook.
Situated within one of Oxfordshire's most historic parishes, Sutton Courtenay combines character with convenience – local amenities include shops, pubs, and notable schools nearby. Excellent transport links are available via Didcot Parkway station for swift access to London. This property presents an exceptional opportunity for investment or renovation in an area rich with history.
