Description

One of only five unique apartments within a handsome Grade II listed manor house, No 4 is a unique and remarkable first floor property. Set in the sought-after North Oxfordshire countryside, the Manor was converted into apartments in 2002 and No 4 has undergone significant further improvements in recent years.

The property features notably high ceilings and large sash windows meaning the rooms are wonderfully light. Having been transformed by the current owners to a high standard, the property provides stylish classic interiors with a contemporary twist. It would make an ideal main residence, weekend country retreat or 'lock up and leave'.

A grand communal main hall and wooden staircase lead to a private hallway. The impressive and spacious sitting room provides a wonderful space to both relax and entertain. There is ample space in the room for both seating areas and formal dining. As well as tree top views from the sash windows, the room also features a media wall with integrated fireplace. There is also access onto the private terrace with far reaching views.

The open plan kitchen / breakfast room which has been replaced by the current owners, features shaker-style base and wall units and integrated appliances. This opens into a useful breakfast area with doors onto a private terrace, providing an ideal spot for alfresco dining.

There are two generous double bedrooms, both with in-built storage and window seats in front of the sash windows. One of the bedrooms also features an en suite shower room.

Steps lead down into the bathroom, which also includes further storage. There is also a useful utility room.

The property benefits from a single garage and parking in front of it. As well as the private terrace, the property also has access to a generous, communal lawn garden and a courtyard.
