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 expansive 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.
