House For Sale £550,000
Property Description
This five bedroom character property benefits from a home office, separate dining room, play room in the attic and also driveway parking to the rear.
Property Details
This character property dates from 1865 and is located in the heart of the village, with Enstone Primary School just across the road and the essential village shop only 100 yards away. The property is rich in history and has seen many uses throughout the decades. The house is not listed, and has benefitted enormously from a recent refurbishment and modernisation into an expansive and practical family home.
As the distinctive name suggests, it saw use for decades as the village post office and shop. The original inbuilt safe for the post office is present in the kitchen and is still functional. The inbuilt post box has been recommissioned as a private post box with internal access through a hatch inside the house.
The post office wing subsequently saw use as an art gallery and is currently being used as an expansive and flexible home office/reception space. The newly fitted 6mm acoustic secondary double glazing combined with the regular double glazing makes the house surprisingly quiet despite being located on the village's main road. The dining room features a unique stone tile floor original to the house and the cloak room has its original quarry stone tiles as well. There are three open, working fireplaces in the house and two closed up fireplaces which could be opened if desired. There are original exposed beams throughout the property.
The garden is large enough to keep chickens and currently has a coop and a fenced run in the back with the rest of the garden laid to lawn and a stone patio. The garden is on two levels with three darling stairs leading to the upper level. In the garden is the original stone shed, which was originally an outside WC. The original well for the property can be found in the driveway and could be re-activated if desired.
Additional features include a new combi boiler supplying unlimited hot water to the two bathrooms, new seven ring range cooker running off a new professionally fitted lpg system, excellent broadband with 75MB speeds, underfloor heating in the kitchen and upstairs bathroom, newly block paved driveway with private parking for up to four cars, Cotswold dry stone walls, new garden fencing, and a new roof over the former post office wing.
Enstone is near Chipping Norton and Soho Farmhouse. Within Enstone and Church Enstone there is a Pre-School, Post Office, Café, garage, petrol station and two pubs.
The nearby towns of Woodstock, Chipping Norton and Charlbury provide very good additional facilities, and the cities of Oxford and Banbury with their outstanding schooling are both within easy reach. The property is well located for commuting, with easy access to the A44 or M40 and being about 13 miles from Oxford and the A34 to the south.
There are regular direct train services to London Paddington from Charlbury (3.7 miles away) taking about 76 minutes and Bicester North (Chiltern Line) 40 minutes and Oxford Parkway.
