Dating back to 1640, The Grange sits within the village of Ascott-under-Wychwood, set back from the road and well screened by a wall with several evergreen trees. With impressive facades on both sides, the property is not listed and offers well-proportioned living accommodation benefiting from several large sash windows, enjoying views over the garden, and filling the house with natural light.

There are four main reception rooms: a spacious drawing room with a large open fire and access into the office, with both rooms benefiting from garden views. A spacious sitting room with an open fire and doors opening on to the garden makes for an excellent outdoor entertaining space. The kitchen/ breakfast room is impressive, with stone floors, a large central island with a breakfast bar, seating for 8-10 people, and a pantry.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom suite occupies one end, and there are three more spacious bedrooms, two sharing a bathroom, and the third having an en suite and a dressing area. On the second floor, there are three bedrooms sharing a bathroom, and there is even the potential to enlarge it further with a substantial loft space above.

To the eastern end of the property is a charming two bedroom annexe, ideal for relatives and staff or as a rental.

The Grange is approached through a pair of pillared entrances, which serve as an 'in and out' driveway. There is plenty of parking at the front of the property. Within the grounds is a garage/storage building.

At the back of the house is the garden, surrounded by drystone walls and mature trees and shrubs, which provide complete privacy. The garden is easily accessed from the house and consists predominantly of a large lawn with a number of herbaceous borders and a scattering of fruit trees.

In one corner of the garden is a lovely kitchen garden for vegetable production, and the total garden extends to approximately 1.32 acres.
