The cottage enjoys a central position within the village, with easy access to the many footpaths and bridleways providing excellent access to the beautiful surrounding countryside. The house was converted to a residential home in 1995 and has been sympathetically updated and improved over the years to create a stylish and elegant home, incorporating the exposed beams and original stone windows with attractive décor that has a timeless appeal.
The layout is well planned for family life, comprising a versatile floor plan that affords a choice of reception rooms and bedrooms on both the ground and first floors. At the heart of the home is the 25ft sitting room, which features a wood-burning stove and ample space for entertaining. The kitchen is a good-size and includes a walk-in pantry and leads through to an east-facing conservatory which would make a fabulous breakfast room, capturing the morning light.
In addition there is a ground floor WC, a boot room and a utility room with space for laundry machines. The ground floor bedroom is accessed from the sitting room and has its own en suite shower room and private access from the garden, making it well suited to older children living at home or visiting guests. Upstairs there are three further bedrooms and a family bathroom with both bath and shower facilities.
The attractive Cotswold stone house is approached via a shared gravel driveway, leading to a gated parking area at the front and a covered car port with space for two cars, as well as an attached garage. To the front of the house is a generously sized paved terrace that’s ideal for outdoor entertaining in the warmer months, bordered by beech trees creating natural privacy. Steps lead down from the terrace to a lawned area which is enclosed by drystone wall and bordered by a variety of shrubs. A second area of terrace is situated at a lower level and is wonderfully private, accessed from the ground floor bedroom.
Sandford St Martin is a characterful village set within the unspoilt countryside of North Oxfordshire. Amenities can be found in Middle Barton (one mile) which has a Post Office within a village store and a number of food establishments.
Just 3.6 miles to the west (one mile as the crow flies and 20 minutes’ walk) lies Soho Farmhouse, an exclusive members' club set in 100 acres of stunning Oxfordshire countryside. This luxurious retreat offers a unique blend of rustic charm and modern amenities, including a spa, cinema, outdoor swimming pool, and a range of dining options and complements the nearby Daylesford Organic Farm Shop, Estelle Manor and Restoration Hardware at Aynho Park.
