A most beautiful Grade II* listed Georgian townhouse in the heart of Bampton with over 3,000 sq ft of stunning accommodation, south facing walled garden and garage.

Leburn House is an outstanding example of a Grade II * Listed Georgian property, situated in the heart of Bampton within walking distance to local shops and amenities. Documents are said to record a date of building as 1766 for the wool merchant, Richard Bowden. This beautiful home offers extensive accommodation of great charm and character and retains many original features including a fine staircase, sash windows, open fireplaces and the original ceiling mouldings and cornicing. The Listing describes the property as "An impressive C18 town house in a prominent position in Luke Street with exceptional exterior and interior features".

The stunning accommodation is arranged over five floors with views to the front over the Bampton rooftops and hills beyond, and to the rear is a southerly outlook over the beautiful 13th century Church. On the ground floor is the elegant entrance/ dining hall which leads through to the staircase hall and the delightful country style kitchen/ breakfast room with its fossilised stone floor and bespoke Shaker style units with granite work tops, a large island, two oven oil-fired Aga with adjoining electric Aga oven and ceramic hob, double ceramic sink, microwave and space for an American style fridge. Leading off the staircase hall is the utility room with stable door to the garden and door to the cloakroom.

The basement offers a cosy living area with woodburning stove, storage room and study area. The elegant master bedroom is a wonderful size with the original fireplace and ample fitted wardrobes.
