4 bedroom detached house

HOME AND INCOME

A substantial detached farmhouse in a fabulous village position, with a detached two-bedroom annexe, a detached one-bedroom annexe, extensive parking, and garaging and a linhay barn with a large courtyard and level lawned gardens.

An exciting opportunity to acquire a notable village home with extensive accommodation and two annexes with exceptional income potential. St. James Farm is situated at the heart of Clifton, and occupies a large, level plot with lawned gardens and extensive parking and garaging. Well maintained by the present owners, the extensive accommodation is ideally suited for family living and offers further scope for modernisation and renovation if required. The main dwelling offers four double bedrooms, the master with en suite facilities, and spacious reception accommodation including a well proportioned ‘farmhouse style’ kitchen/dining room.

The Stables is a detached, two-bedroom annexe, presently utilised as holiday letting accommodation. Similarly, The Bothy, a one-bedroom detached property, is also offered in the same way. Both units provide an excellent source of income for the present owners who would be keen to advise any incoming purchaser on the ways in which the property has been offered in the past. Both units benefit from their own parking facilities and sit well away from the house, offering each a great degree of privacy.

The level gardens sit predominantly to one side of the property, and lead to the enclosed courtyard, featuring a large linhay barn which is presently utilised for outdoor entertaining. There are views to the countryside at the rear.

This is a very rare opportunity indeed and must be internally inspected to be fully appreciated. A great degree of interest is anticipated.

Clifton is a sleepy hamlet of approximately 75 houses. There is a public house in the village called The Duke and the Great Western Arms is just up the road at Aynho Wharf. The river Cherwell marks the parish boundary as well as the boundary between Oxfordshire and Northamptonshire.

The M40 is about five miles away at Ardley. The nearest main railway stations are Banbury about 10 miles to the north, or Bicester 10 miles to the east, with a halt at Kings Sutton four miles away. The towpath of the Oxford canal, with its brightly painted, traditional narrow boats, is a popular walk just half a mile away, across the fields. Clifton is rich in native flora and fauna. Foxes, roe and muntjac deer, badgers, hare and rabbits abound along with the sounds of the skylark during the spring and summer.

Clifton is a charming and friendly place to live where rural traditions of friendliness and community spirit continue.
