5 bed detached house for sale

High Street, Upton Didcot OX11

Owlscote Farmhouse is a distinguished and characterful country residence that effortlessly blends period charm with practical modern living. Set in the desirable Village of Upton, surrounded by open countryside.

The farmhouse itself is rich in architectural heritage, being Grade II listed, showcasing a wealth of original features including exposed beams, stonework, and traditional fireplaces, all of which contribute to its warm and inviting atmosphere. Though there is a seamless transition between period traditional character and contemporary modern, no more so than in the kitchen living room, with a modern kitchen, an island and the traditional feature of natural brick and timbered walls, a stone-edged natural well feature with a glass cover and lighting. The accommodation is both generous and versatile, arranged to suit family life as well as more formal entertaining. The large ground-floor barn room can accommodate the largest of family gatherings, while the renovated, new open-plan kitchen living room has a split-level and double-opening doors. Forming the heart of the home, combining functionality with rustic charm.

Upstairs, the bedrooms provide comfortable and well-balanced accommodation, with attractive timbered walls. The principal suite above the main barn offers a particularly appealing, spacious retreat, complemented by three additional double bedrooms that can flex to suit guests, family, or home-working requirements.

Externally, the grounds are a notable feature, with mature gardens, lawns, and a traditional outbuilding. There is space, subject to planning, for a carport, and ample off-road parking to the front and within the gated driveway. The garden offers several areas and has a front walled garden. And a large rear garden.

Owlscote Farmhouse represents a rare opportunity to acquire a home of genuine character in an unspoilt and highly desirable countryside location. Yet close to all main road networks and Didcot trains to Paddington in 38 minutes. Close to Harwell Science Centre and Milton Park, with access to the A34/M4. Strong educational options are abundant locally, with Oxford and Abingdon nearby.
