Description
Situated in rural surroundings, Warden Grange is a period property with origins believed to date back to the 17th century. Constructed of local stone under a slate and tile roof, the property has undergone changes and additions over the years with further opportunities to extend into the barns to the rear.
With immense character and the enormous latent potential of adding a 21st century twist to the property, subject to the relevant consents, Warden Grange is a family home seldom available. By virtue of its rural location and seclusion, the country dream is epitomised by this property.
Retaining many of its original features the oldest part of the property has an Inglenook fireplace, beamed ceilings and solid floors, whilst the Georgian additions provide a contrast with sash windows, shutters and high ceilings.
Many rooms, being dual aspect create a light and spacious feel whilst augmenting the views of uninterrupted countryside surrounding the house.
The far end of the property was extended within the last fifty years and provides a potential annexe with bedroom and sitting room, whilst the ground floor provides grooms quarters, laundry room and store rooms.
Undoubtedly the true value of the property lies to the outside: the land, buildings and rural situation create the uniqueness.
The main formal garden is south east facing to the property.
Predominantly laid to lawn and enclosed, the garden slopes down towards the paddocks. Surrounded by mature herbaceous borders, with several mature fruit trees including cherry, pear and apple.
A small doorway leads through to what was once the kitchen garden where several stores can be found including two former dog kennels, in need of restoration if to be used again.
Adjacent to the house is a large wood store.
To the rear of the property, attached to the main house, is a small garage, which in turn is attached to a large stone barn, ideal for restoration and renovation to incorporate into the rest of the main house, subject to the relevant consents.
There are currently two Dutch barns one of which was a former lambing shed.
Also to the rear of the house is a stable yard, built upon hard standing with 6 loose boxes (including a foaling box). There is also a large secure tack room, adjacent smaller harness room and feed store.
Land: The property has about 13.9 acres of land. This comprises three main paddocks. The first, immediately on the right upon entering the driveway, whilst the other two can be accessed at the end of the driveway. The property to the north is bordered by a pretty stream, (a feeder to the River Cherwell) which is lined with poplar trees, whilst to the south; the property is bordered by woodland.
There is a smaller turn out paddock next door to the stable yard, across the stream and accessed via a wooden bridge.
