Description

***Guide Price Range: £950,000 - £1,000,000***No. 1 Wychwood Cottages occupies an enviable rural position at the end of a private (shared with adjoining neighbouring properties) country lane which terminates at the house and its neighbouring property No. 2 Wychwood Cottages (3-bed cottage with consent to extend plus adjoining land at a guide price range of £750,000-£800,000).

The property has within the last 20 years undergone extensive refurbishment and extension to create a well-appointed family home with accommodation spread over two floors. Believed to have been built in the first half of the last century includes external elevations of brickwork with clay tile hanging under a tiled roof and with modern Upvc replacement double glazed windows with leaded lights. For many years the property had formed the base for a successful smallholding known as Wychwood Farm with a mixture of livestock including Rare Breed pigs, Southdown sheep and Dexter cattle and latterly the barn outbuilding was approved on 29/01/2026 under Class Q, planning ref. DC/25/2009, for residential change of use to a 3-bedroom and 2 bathroom dwelling with a single storey rear extension to total c. 112.7 sqm.

The property is considered to be equally well suited for those with equestrian interests and with great potential to follow other local properties by adding stabling and equestrian facilities, subject to an individual owner's requirements and any planning consents.

The very well-presented accommodation offers wonderful views with the majority of the rooms facing South and benefitting from double glazed windows. Features of the accommodation include a useful side Entrance Hall leading through to a superb Family Kitchen/Dining/Living Room which faces in all directions of the compass to thoroughly enjoy the views and with bi-fold doors to the end opening onto the terrace and creating an even greater viewpoint. To the kitchen area there are a range of oak work tops with bespoke hand-built units below with Belfast sink, LPG 5-ring hob with extractor over and electric double oven below, separate oil-fired Stanley range cooker (also serving as central heating and hot water boiler) housed in an attractive brick chimney corner, extensive range of fitted cupboards and doors with wine racks, and then opening up to the sitting and dining area with, stone paved floor and wood burning stove.

An adjacent Utility Room includes cupboards and worktops, points for washing machine and dishwasher, plus sink unit and with door to a very smart and modern Wet Room with fully tiled walls and floor (underfloor heating) wash hand basin, WC and shower area. The Inner Hall area with original Entrance Hall then leads to a door to the South facing Sitting/Dining Room with fireplace and brick surround and secondary door back to the family kitchen/dining room.

The first-floor Landing offers views to the North and has doors leading to Bedrooms Two, Three & Four which all enjoy good views and also to the double aspect modern fitted Family Bathroom. To the extended part of the house, there is a triple aspect Principal Bedroom which enjoys wonderful views with Juliet balcony and a very smart fitted modern ensuite Shower/Wet Room including wash hand basin, WC, tiled walls and floor with Travertine stone tiling (under floor heating) and shower area.

Outside, the property is approached by a gravel driveway with extensive parking and turning areas and adjacent to a timber outbuilding serving as a garage/ general store and separate workshop with Class Q approval. Adjacent to this are two mobile field shelters serving the stock fenced adjoining paddocks stretching away to the South-East and South of the house and with attractive garden areas also adjoining the house with mixed lawns, planting and terracing all providing a wonderful viewpoint. Overall, the property extends to approx. 7.43 acres (3 Ha) as shown on the plan.
