Nestled within approximately 1.5 acres of serene grounds, this historic property, known as The Pines, dates back to the 17th century and has served various purposes over its lifetime, including a local dairy and farmhouse. The home features attractive 19th-century enhancements and has been lovingly preserved by the same family for nearly four decades. Its adaptable layout presents an excellent opportunity for multi-generational living, with spacious rooms that benefit from expansive rural views.
Upon entering through the elevated porch, you are welcomed into a bright entrance hall that leads to a dual-aspect sitting room and an additional reception space. The first floor houses the main bedroom suite alongside two more double bedrooms and a family bathroom. Two additional bedrooms plus a shower room can be found on the top floor, enhancing the home's capacity. On the lower ground level lies the core of family life, comprising a hallway that grants access to the garden as well as a kitchen, dining area, large utility/ante-kitchen, and an office-like study. This level also boasts a cellar ideal for storage or conversion potential.
Located in Upperton, just three miles west of Watlington, this tranquil hamlet is complemented by its proximity to Brightwell Baldwin's picturesque church and the well-regarded Lord Nelson Inn. Watlington itself offers essential amenities such as shops, schools across all levels of education, medical facilities, and sports venues.
For those seeking further services or leisure activities, nearby Benson is accessible along with larger towns like Wallingford and Thame via charming country lanes. Commuters will appreciate being only about five miles from Junction 6 of the M40 which provides great connections to London and other regional hubs.
The property's landscaped gardens are not only beautiful but include functional elements like a Koi pond, kitchen garden, greenhouse, and adjoining open fields—an ideal setting for outdoor enthusiasts or anyone looking to cultivate their own produce. The gated driveway leads to ample parking areas alongside outbuildings that currently serve as garages and workshops; these spaces could be transformed into a separate annexe or office (subject to planning permission), representing potential investment opportunities for future buyers.
