Grove Road, Bladon, OX20

A truly distinctive period property, quite unlike anything in the local area, The Beeches is a remarkable home occupying nearly one acre in an elevated position, set back from the road, and bordered by an open field and woodland. Located in the well-regarded village of Bladon, best known as the resting place for Sir Winston Churchill and for its proximity to Blenheim Palace�s expensive grounds.

Whilst the building is set back (more than 200ft) from the road, at glance, beyond an open field, it�s distinct and enchanting period character can be seen from a distance. Approached via a sweeping driveway which opens to a large parking area with generous provisions of parking, a turning circle and garaging. Its tranquil position is immediately captivating and further enhanced by a canopy of mature trees.

Internally, the property is approaching 2000 Sq Ft across a single storey, with a series of well-balanced and versatile living spaces. There is a front and rear entrance hall, a cloakroom, three large reception rooms, a kitchen/dining room, a family bathroom, and three bedrooms including a large principal suite with en-suite shower room. Each space is connected by a long hallway and there are tall ceilings, large windows and period features throughout.

Externally, the house sits on a private plot with a wonderful sense of sulcation, surrounded by greenery on all sides. There is a mature woodland to the rear and an open field at the front. The garden has an abundance of trees, a large pond, and various lawned sections. There are generous provisions of driveway parking and a garage with adjoining storeroom.

The property offers excellent potential to modernise, extend, and reconfigure subject to the usual permissions.
