An absolutely charming detached and extended stone built period house complete with it's own detached chapel building within the garden, enjoying a fabulous semi-rural position with stunning views over neighbouring open farmland. The property boasts an abundance of original period features and also benefits from a two-storey rear extension creating a large Family Kitchen/Diner and En-Suite Master Bedroom above. A flagstone reception hall leads to the two front-facing reception rooms with beams, fireplaces and flagstones. A timber-framed Conservatory provides additional living space overlooking the garden and the large Kitchen/Diner has doors to a secluded rear terrace. There are 4 Bedrooms (master en-suite), and Bathroom on the first floor. The property does now require updating and improvement throughout but also offers tremendous potential for imaginative alteration and extension, particularly when considering the Chapel building that sits in relatively close proximity to the house.
The brick-built chapel has a steep pitched roof, arched door and windows and a cloakroom/WC. It offers several options to the new purchaser ranging from what would be an amazing home office/studio, an extension to the main house, independent holiday let, family accommodation or even conversion to a separate dwelling, all subject to the necessary planning consent.
The majority of the garden lies at the front of the property with lawn, mature shrubs and trees, and enjoys a southerly aspect with uninterrupted views across open farmland towards the villages of Freeland and Long Hanborough. There is also a gravelled driveway and single garage. The small hamlet of East End is surrounded by open countryside with a network of footpaths providing walks through the Evenlode valley but it's far from secluded with Witney and Woodstock each some 4 miles distant, Long Hanborough with shops and train station (2m), Estelle Manor luxury hotel & spa (1.5m) and Oxford city centre (10m). This enchanting property is offered for sale with no onward chain and early viewing is advised.
