Description

Built as part of the Gibbs estate in the early 18th century, Courtiers is an impressive and historic village house which has been in the same family for more than 52 years. The classical Georgian facade has an immediate sense of grandeur, yet offers manageable proportions for the modern family.
Full of character, the Grade II listed house features high ceilings and many original details including wood panelling, window seats and an oak staircase. Many of the rooms are double or triple aspect with views over the generous gardens.
Courtiers is approached from the lane, through wide double wooden gates leading to a gravel driveway which runs between the croquet lawn and mature gardens with fruit trees and topiary. There is a wrought iron gate in the walled garden which leads to the formal entrance with its classically designed portico at the front of the house.

The house is set over three floors plus a wine cellar. The ground floor consists of two well proportioned formal reception rooms with large windows and original painted wood panelling. Both lead off the entrance hall with its brick tiled floor and cloakroom. The large rear entrance hallway opens in to the kitchen/ breakfast room and larder, which is a modern addition to the property.

The principal bedrooms are set over the first and second floors with dual aspect windows overlooking the gardens. There are a further 3 double bedrooms, a single bedroom or study and three bathrooms.

The gardens at Courtiers are extensive and very private, totalling over half an acre. The walled garden features a croquet lawn and outbuildings, which could be converted into an entertaining area. There is another lawn with an ornamental pond and an established vegetable garden and green house.

Location

Clifton Hampden is a popular and well connected village to the south of Oxford. It has a village Shop, an Ofsted rated ‘Good’ Primary School, a church and the famous ‘Barley Mow’ Pub, which is mentioned in Jerome K Jerome’s book '3 men in a boat’. Courtiers is situated in a prime position on the northern end of Watery Lane, a no through road just off the A415 in the heart of the village. Culham Science Centre is a mile away, where there is also a branch line Railway Station with trains to Didcot which connect directly to London.

There is an excellent choice of schools locally both state and independent including Radley College in nearby Abingdon and the highly acclaimed European School just over a mile away from the property.
