The Hermitage is a substantial stone-built Grade II listed property dating originally, we understand, from around 1650, enjoying a prominent position in the heart of this highly regarded village. The original house boasts accommodation over three floors along with an array of carefully retained period features, including exposed timbers, sash windows, fireplaces, solid oak floorboards and original staircases.
By 2003, the property had been sympathetically renovated and re-designed to incorporate a high quality and completely re-constructed two-storey stone barn, adding considerably to a property that can now provide up to seven bedrooms. The barn offers great flexibility and numerous living options that any purchaser might consider including but not limited to a fabulous self-contained annex, a holiday let, a substantial home office/studio or even a completely separate dwelling, all subject to the necessary consents. The sympathetic renovation of the house has created a fabulous family home, all finished and presented to an extremely high standard with great attention to detail. The character and charm of the older period features blend perfectly with the modern but tasteful finishes in the barn, that incorporates exposed oak beams, a beautiful bespoke oak staircase, feature galleried landing, exposed floorboards, stylish period style radiators and conservation roof lights.
The Hermitage also boasts a secure gated driveway with ample private parking for several vehicles, along with a large double garage, a huge benefit for central Eynsham. The completely enclosed walled garden is complimented by a newly built stone wall along the northern flank. Period homes of this stature are rarely available in the village and viewing is advised. Available for sale no onward chain.
SITUATION
