Description

Nestled within 1.4 acres of picturesque gardens, this distinctive detached residence, originally a dairy farm from the 1600s, presents a unique opportunity for those looking to invest in a historic property with significant renovation potential. The Pines has seen substantial extensions added around 1895 and offers a blend of charming original features alongside comfortable living spaces. The extensive grounds include various outbuildings that could be repurposed or developed (subject to planning permission), making it ideal for further enhancement or even expansion. Inside, the home's four-level layout features five well-proportioned bedrooms and four bathrooms, providing ample space for family living or guest accommodation. The principal reception areas boast high ceilings and large bay windows, flooding the rooms with natural light while overlooking tranquil surroundings. The property is fully equipped with oil-fired central heating and double glazing, ensuring year-round comfort. While some modernization efforts may be required, particularly in updating kitchen and bathroom facilities, the overall structure remains solid, offering a reliable foundation for a new owner’s vision. The grounds include beautifully maintained garden areas along with a productive fruit and vegetable patch alongside an ornamental pond—a perfect canvas for avid gardeners or landscape enthusiasts. Given its superb rural location yet proximity to Watlington and transport links towards Oxford, this home is truly an appealing investment prospect for those willing to embark on thoughtful renovations.
