An attractive character property with a wealth of period features set in the heart of the original part of the peaceful village of Ambrosden, close to local amenities. With three bedrooms, sitting room and separate dining room both with working fireplaces, generous driveway parking.

In a secluded position set back from the road, The Old School House dates back to 1876 and was originally used as the headmasters home next to the adjoining school, now used as the local village hall.

The property is approached from a gravelled driveway which can accommodate several cars. Follow the path towards the house past a tucked away lawn area, and enter the property via a wonderful original Victorian door into a spacious hallway. The sitting room at the front of the property is a comfortable space with its original fireplace in the corner of the room and high ceilings with picture rails. This overlooks the sunny south-facing lawn area where the mature tree provides a real sense of privacy. The ground floor bathroom is to your left, then the dining room to the rear, also with a feature fireplace. Next door is the kitchen overlooking the rear courtyard garden.

Upstairs there are three well-proportioned double bedrooms, the master with feature fireplace. The high ceilings really add to the sense of space throughout. There is also a useful w/c.

To the rear of the property the courtyard garden area is completely private and not overlooked at all. There are a range of outbuildings including a brick-built old washhouse and privy, now used for storage but could ideally be used as a workshop, a timber building housing a Finnish sauna, and a further timber shed.

Ambrosden is a small, peaceful village located in the Cherwell district of North Oxfordshire, 3 miles south of Bicester and 13 miles north of Oxford.
Surrounded by rolling fields, the village offers convenient local amenities, including The Turner Arms Pub, a post office, hair salon, and Five Acres Primary School.

Good transport links into London via Bicester North railway station and Bicester Village station mean you can be at Marylebone Station in just under an hour.

Bicester town centre offers a great choice of restaurants, a Cinema and Sainsbury’s supermarket.  Internationally acclaimed Bicester Village designer outlet, and Bicester Shopping Park including an M&S Food Hall, and new David Lloyd health club can all be found on the edge of the town.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on September 1, 2023

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on September 1, 2023

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
