The Cross, Stonesfield, OX29

A rare and amazing opportunity to purchase Protestant House, a four-bedroom detached home built in 1879 on The Cross in Stonesfield. The property sits within 0.4acres of secluded and private mature garden sheltered on the west side by ‘St James the Great’ Parish Church in the heart of the village.  Protestant House has evolved over its long history as a family home and offers extension potential (subject to all the relevant planning and building regulations).

From the entrance porch, you walk into the large living room with windows to the front and rear overlooking the gardens, feature open fireplace with stone surround, flag stone flooring and exposed beams. This leads to the fitted kitchen/dining room with AGA stove, characterful pantry and bay windowed dining area overlooking the gardens. There is also a downstairs toilet/wet room and rear access into the gardens. The first-floor landing has access to three bedrooms, family bathroom and stair access up to the loft bedroom with a dormer window to the rear and loft access.

The wonderful large mature gardens to the rear are south facing, mainly laid to lawn with a number of shrubs and trees surrounding, and views onto the local parish church adding to the beautiful outlook of the gardens. There are several useful stone outhouses and a summer house dotted around the gardens that may have potential to be converted into further accommodation/office spaces as well as rear access to a cellar underneath half of the living room of the house. There are a number of off street parking spaces to the side of the house.

Stonesfield is a thriving village with a good range of amenities and local activities. These include a well-regarded primary school, shop with post office, hairdressers, community pub and a sports field with sports and social club. Sitting equidistant between the local market towns of Woodstock, Charlbury and Witney. A bus service operates to Oxford via Woodstock and to Charlbury and Chipping Norton.  There is a mainline railway station on the Worcester-Oxford-London (Paddington) line from Long Hanborough. There is then Oxford Parkway and Charlbury trainline that goes to London (Marylebone).
