A well proportioned, Grade II listed, five bedroom Georgian, former farmhouse set on the High Street of this well connected and popular south Oxfordshire village.
Bishops Farm House is a charming period property, bursting with character, with open fire places, sash windows and exposed timbers, and built from red brick under a tiled roof. The house enjoys a traditional layout with three reception rooms leading from a welcoming entrance hall. There is a drawing room with dual aspect, opposite which is a sitting room that flows into a dining room with a farmhouse kitchen beyond. The kitchen has an electric Aga, which was once oil fired and central island with a dining space at the far end. There is also a utility room. Upstairs there are five bedrooms, three of which are en suite shower rooms, and a family bathroom. Within the eaves is a sixth bedroom with access to the eaves space that provide further potential to extend subject to planning permission.
The house sits back from the road and central to the plot with a brick built office/gym in the garden which has potential to; with planning; be turned into a teenage/granny flat as there is water and electricity running to the outbuilding. There is also three large garages together with ample parking area at the front.
