Part dating from the early 17th century with later additions, The Old House is a most attractive and
substantial Grade II listed family home situated in the heart of Sutton Courtenay. A much loved family home for 47 years, the house is now in need of updating. Internally, the front door opens to a most attractive entrance hall with
an elegant circular Georgian staircase rising to the first and second floors. The well-proportioned and spacious accommodation is arranged over three floors and includes four elegant reception rooms all with high ceilings, period fireplaces and enjoying a lovely outlook over the garden. Of particular note is the double aspect drawing room with panelled walls and ornate ceiling beam. To the rear of the house, is the spacious kitchen/breakfast room with Aga, off which is the laundry room and walk-in larder. Accessed from the rear hall, which has a separate staircase to the first
floor, are the boot room, butler’s pantry, cloakroom and wine cellar. Accessed via two staircases, the first floor provides five good sized bedrooms and three bathrooms including the light and spacious principal bedroom. The circular staircase continues up to the second floor which provides two further bedrooms and a bathroom.

The property is approached via a high gated wall and a gravelled driveway leading to a parking area
in front of the house and the barn. The large timber barn comprises two garages, the original stables and a tack room. Adjacent to the barn is the detached 2 bedroom cottage. The gardens and grounds are a particular delight and complement
the house. The main gardens are principally laid to lawn with mature shrubs, borders and a variety of trees, the swimming pool is situated within
the garden to the south side of the house. From the main garden a gate leads to the walled orchard beyond. To the rear of the property is a summer house and former grass tennis court, adjacent to which is a paddock which runs
down to the Ginge Brook
