Description
Mead Farm provides a rarely available opportunity to purchase an imposing ironstone farmhouse now in need of improvement and modernisation, together with a range of traditional and modern buildings. The property sits in an edge of village setting and offers wonderful scope and potential to create an impressive country property, with equestrian, 'work from home' and 'Good Life' possibilities.
Accommodation
The house is Grade II Listed, dating from the 17th Century with later additions. The property is full of period features but is now in need of sympathetic improvement and restoration. The spacious accommodation is arranged over three floors offering flexible living and further potential subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents.
The ground floor accommodation comprises a number of reception rooms plus additional storage spaces and rooms together with a kitchen/breakfast room and utility room – typical of a North Oxfordshire farmhouse. On the first floor there are three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The unconverted full height second floor attic rooms offer potential to create at least two additional bedrooms.
To the immediate rear and side of the property is a small stone store with gardens with a former orchard and vegetable area, with access to the paddock.
Outbuildings
The property has a wide range of mainly traditional outbuildings requiring some renovating but offering great potential. Accessed to the side of the property is a courtyard of stone and breezeblock buildings with access to the paddocks.
Behind this area lies a hay barn, an open-ended store and a range of stables with concrete hardstanding.
The land
The land is mainly permanent pasture with good access to the buildings, and benefiting from water frontage on the southern boundary.
