Offers over £1,200,000
|
Converted in 2006, Priory Barn is an exceptional Grade II listed barn conversion of the highest quality.
Constructed in 1779 by monks from Edington Priory, it was originally a threshing barn, it has been built from high grade Cotswold stone with cut quoin corners and detailing around openings and a Stonesfield slate roof.
Outside
The property is approached via a long private drive which sweeps around in to a large parking area which has considerable potential to expand.
Planning permission for a three bay garage with accommodation above has now lapsed but should not be difficult to re-instate.
The land lies principally to the south and west of the property and is composed of about 0.75 acre of landscaped garden and a one acre paddock ideal for the equestrian minded.
Location
The property is located in the small West Oxfordshire village of Alvescot which has a very popular village pub and primary school.
Alvescot also benefits from a lovely village park and communal tennis court.
It is within half an hour of Oxford City and less than an hours commute to London.
Design, Layout and Accommodation
Approaching 4,500 sq feet, Priory Barn has been designed with modern family living and entertaining in mind. An abundance of light floods in through the huge glazed south and north elevations, illuminating the heart of the home which contains:

There is ample space for a breakfast table and further seating. In addition there is a large walk in pantry (3.3m x 1.8m) a utility room (3.4m x 2.8m) and a wc.

Large bi-folding doors lead out from the family room on to the patio area with its southerly aspect.
