Magnificent Grade II listed barn conversion.
Description
The oldest part of Parsonage Barn dates to the C17th. This grade II listed barn has been sensitively and creatively converted to a stunning five bedroom family home, showcasing the original timber framework that remains visible throughout. The four original barn doors have been replaced with full height glazed panels provide natural light.
On entering the kitchen/dining room, views open to the garden beyond. The bespoke contemporary kitchen cabinets have pale quartz worktops, whilst the island features striking book matched Dekton clad doors and black, flame finished granite top, which houses the induction hob. Full height Liebherr fridge and freezer, two ovens, steam oven and microwave are all integrated within a walnut facia.
Directly off is a large walk-in pantry with plant room beyond. Off the west wing is a cloakroom, walk-in storage room, utility room and boot room.
From the kitchen, wide steps drop to the magnificent full height reception room with vaulted ceiling displaying four queen post trusses, each with their curved braces and studded walls. The original barn openings, now glazed, look on to the front terrace and garden.
From here a corridor opens to the southern wing of the barn. At the end is a spacious room with its own door to the garden, making an ideal office space or gym, depending on needs. There is a shower room directly off.
Stairs rise to a stunning principal bedroom suite. Using imaginative design, the dressing room and bathroom ‘float’ within the vaulted ceiling space. Stairs rise again to the bedroom. From the kitchen, curling around a circular wall, a
wide oak and iron spiral staircase rises to the guest bedroom suite. Here the same design principles have been applied and provide a dressing room, bathroom and bedroom.
There are three further bedrooms, all with en suite shower rooms to the ground floor.
Outside
The barn is approached by a gravel drive with ornamental pear trees to the boundary. There is ample parking and a two bay car port with workshop/garden store to the rear. The front garden encloses a lawn and terrace that borders both aspects of the barn. Attractive brick built raised beds are planted with lavender and grasses. To the rear is a deep terrace that spans the width of the barn with steps rising centrally within a retaining wall to a large lawned area above.
Location
Parsonage Barn sits on the edge of the historic 24 acre gated village green. The village boasts a community owned pub, The Seven Stars, cricket club, church and primary school.
The village offers easy access to Oxford, the Headington hospitals, M40 and M4 motorways. Everyday shopping requirements are served by supermarkets just off the ring road with more extensive shopping in Oxford. There is a wide range of both state and independent schools in Abingdon
and Oxford and the Europa School is approximately
five miles away.
Square Footage: 4,398 sq ft
Directions
From Oxford take the A4074 towards Henley. Pass through Nuneham Courtenay and towards the end of the village, turn left to The Baldons. On entering Marsh Baldon, pass the green on your right and take the first lane around the side of the green. Parsonage Barn is at the end of the lane, just past a wooden fence and gate, on the left.
