Bicester Road, Westcott, Aylesbury

SUMMARY
Upper Barn Farm is an exceptional and distinguished estate, proudly held within the same family for over twenty years. Extending to in excess of 30 acres, this remarkable holding offers a rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, and significant future potential.

DESCRIPTION
Approached via a sweeping quarter-mile private driveway behind secure gates, the estate unfolds into a stunning landscape of mature woodland, open fields, and picturesque meadows. A beautifully positioned half-acre lake forms a tranquil focal point along the boundary, complemented by a charming fishing lodge - perfect for private summer retreats.

At the heart of the estate lies the original Grade II listed farmhouse, a characterful five-bedroom residence steeped in history. Retaining many period features, including open fireplaces, the property enjoys a secluded and secure garden framed by established hedging and trees, alongside a delightful pond and rose garden. While the farmhouse would benefit from internal modernisation, it presents an excellent opportunity for refurbishment, staff accommodation, multi-generational living, or potential rental income.

Complementing the main residence is a striking, more recently constructed annex. This impressive home offers five bedrooms and showcases with high ceilings with exposed oak beams, high vaulted ceilings, underfloor heating throughout, and an abundance of natural light. The property has been thoughtfully designed to maximise its picturesque surroundings, with spectacular sunset views enjoyed from the kitchen with a bespoke kitchen island and AGA at the heart of the kitchen. Further features include elegant open fireplaces, a formal dining hall, and bespoke oak wardrobes within the principal bedrooms.

Continued
In addition, the estate benefits from a extensive garage with internal access with a self-contained two-bedroom apartment above, complete with its own private access-ideal for guests, extended family, or live-in staff.

A significant additional asset is the existing warehouse building, currently utilized as a Warehouse, which offers outstanding versatility. With planning permission already granted for multiple residential units or large bespoke single dwelling, this presents an exciting development opportunity. Alternatively, the building could be retained for commercial use, benefitting from its own independent access, office space, and two mezzanine levels, making it well suited for showroom or business operations.

Location
