For Sale8 Bedroom House in Taynton, Burford, West Oxfordshire, OX18 4UB£3,250,000

An exquisite Grade II Listed farm house Manor Farm House was built in the early 17th century and is a very fine example of a classic Cotswold Manor House with its original windows and perfect proportions. Situated adjacent to the ancient parish church of St John the Evangelist, the property sits within its own immaculately kept lawns and is reached via a private gravel drive with electric gates. There is also a second shared drive which leads to the front entrance where there is a covered parking area/woodstore. Neat herbaceous borders line the path to the front door which opens into the large, light-filled reception hall with original flagstone floor and wood burning stove. There are two good sized reception rooms accessed from the entrance hall. The drawing room has an open fireplace, window seat and double doors leading out to the garden. The dual aspect sitting room would also be ideal as a TV room with its cosy wood burning stove. Leading off the sitting room is a utility/boot room with a butler's sink, plenty of storage and a separate cloakroom. The inviting kitchen/breakfast room is immediately to the left of the reception hall. The kitchen/breakfast room is a spacious, light-filled room with a four-door Aga, bespoke cabinets and work surfaces, a large larder and plenty of space for informal dining. A notable feature is the original stone framed windows on one side. The breakfast area opens into a sun room with double doors lead out to the south-facing garden. The formal dining room with its open fireplace is conveniently situated adjacent to the kitchen making entertaining easy. There are two original stone cellars underneath the kitchen which would be perfect for wine storage. A large utility room and cloakroom are accessed via the kitchen with plenty of space for storage and appliances. There is also a separate entrance to the house through the utility room and adjacent to this is a storage shed. On the first floor there is a generous landing which leads to the principal bedroom accommodation. The principal bedroom has views over the garden, plenty of storage and an en suite bathroom. A spacious lobby just outside would make an excellent dressing room as would the attic bedroom directly above. There are four further bedrooms and three bathrooms. On the second floor there is a bedroom, shower room and living area which is currently used by the housekeeper but would make an ideal ‘flat' for a teenager. The property sits within beautifully landscaped gardens with mature trees, a small pond and two attractive and useful Cotswold stone outbuildings adjacent to the parking areas. One comprises a spacious garage and storage building and the second has a thatched roof and timber frames. There is a gate to the Parish Church next door. View payable Stamp Duty for this property
