Beautiful family home with stunning gardens and a separate 2152sqft barn and separate 570sqft cottage..

Tucked away in a peaceful, secluded location, The Clock House is approached via a long driveway, offering a sense of privacy and tranquillity, perfect for those seeking a quiet retreat. This exceptional property comprises three distinct parts: the main house (The Clock House), The Barn and The Cottage.

Distinguished by its semi-circular windows and the clock tower on the roof, The Clock House benefits from period features and views over the beautiful rear gardens throughout the property. There are three reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room, and three bedrooms, with the potential for a fourth bedroom or a study.

The detached, converted barn is an excellent size and filled with natural light. The spacious ground floor rooms have underfloor heating, while upstairs, two rooms are linked by a bridge inspired by Monet's Bridge. The barn is currently being used as a photographic studio, however, with 2152 sqft of accommodation, it could be easily adapted.

The one bedroom detached cottage has approved planning permission for an extension and a new garage, with footings already constructed and signed off by the Vale of White Horse, allowing you to enhance and expand the space.

To the rear of the property, the landscaped gardens are a true highlight, featuring a picturesque rill and a waterfall. A stream flows through the grounds, complemented by a well-maintained vegetable garden and mature fruit trees
