5 Bedrooms Detached house for sale in Idbury, Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire OX7 | £ 1,750,000

Property Description

Beautifully presented with a mix of traditional
and contemporary features, The Old Forge is
Listed Grade II and dates from the early 18th
Century with later additions and alterations. The
property is approached from the village lane
over a tree-lined gravelled drive which leads
to a parking area to the side of the cottage. A
wrought iron gate leads through hedges to
the garden. The front door opens into a useful
boot room with adjacent utility and pantry, and
a cloakroom. A door leads into the kitchen/
breakfast room with original flagstone flooring
and a door into the garden. Off the kitchen
is a dining room with stairs to the first floor
and French doors onto the garden terrace. A
passage leads through to 2 further reception
rooms, followed by a door to 2 bedrooms and
a shower room which currently serve as a
convenient ‘guest wing’. On the first floor there
are 3 bedrooms, including a vaulted master
bedroom, and a large family bathroom. Forge
Cottage, which has a separate entrance and
is attached to The Old Forge by a traditional
2 storey barn, comprises a sitting/dining
room, kitchen, pantry and 2 bedrooms and a
bathroom. The cottage is ideal for additional
guest accommodation or to generate an income.
Subject to obtaining the necessary planning
permission, the attached barn, which currently
provides excellent storage, lends itself to further
conversion as an office or gym. An original
internal door connecting the barn to the main
house could also be reinstated.

The property is set in the charming hamlet of
Idbury, between the Cotswold towns of Stowon-
the-Wold and Burford. Communications are
excellent with the A40 at Burford, providing
easy access to Oxford, the M40 and London.
Kingham Station is 2.4 miles away for trains
to Oxford and London Paddington take 30
and 90 minutes respectively. A wide variety of
local shopping facilities can be found in Stow,
Burford and Chipping Norton, whilst Oxford and
Cheltenham provide extensive shopping, leisure
and educational facilities. The property is
within striking distance of Soho Farmhouse and
less than 5 miles from Daylesford. The highly
regarded The King’s Head, The Wild Rabbit and
The Kingham Plough public houses are close
by, with the Feathered Nest in Nether Westcote
within easy walking distance.

The property sits in just under a third of an
acre. The landscaped garden is contained
within traditional Cotswold stone walls and is
predominately lawned with generous paved and
gravelled terraces. Adjacent to Forge Cottage is
a parking area for a number of cars.
