AN ATTRACTIVE EDGE OF VILLAGE COTSWOLD STONE PROPERTY SITTING IN 0.8 ACRE WITH FABULOUS SOUTHERLY VIEWS.
Strongs House is a Grade II* Listed property dating back to 1676, built by Thomas Strong, Sir Christopher Wren's master mason at St. Paul's Cathedral. Constructed of Cotswold stone beneath a Cotswold slate roof with mullioned windows, the property is situated on a quiet lane and the accommodation is set over 3 floors. There is an abundance of character features throughout the property including inglenook fireplaces, exposed Cotswold stone and timbers, leaded windows, flagstone floors and an impressive fireplace in the drawing room. There are 3 bedrooms on the first floor (one previously used as a dressing room) with 3 bathrooms. Stairs lead to the impressive attic bedroom including vaulted ceiling exposing wonderful timbers and oak floors.
Strongs House offers a superb tranquil setting with southerly views across open fields. The house itself sits in a generous garden of just under an acre with meandering lawn areas leading down to a little brook. There is a gravel drive, garage, outbuilding, greenhouses and fruit cage.
Taynton is perhaps one of the most unspoilt of all the Cotswold villages and is beautifully situated nestling in the valley of the river Windrush amongst rolling Cotswold countryside. It lies within a designated area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The market town of Burford is only one mile away and is known as The Gateway to the Cotswolds It offers a range of shopping facilities, local schools, a fine parish church and a number of public houses. The town is surrounded by beautiful countryside yet is within reach of Oxford or Cheltenham, both of which provide the main cultural and shopping centres for the area. There are good road and rail communications with London via the A40/M.40 and a train service from Charlbury to London Paddington.
