6 bed detached house for sale

Bridge Farm, Faringdon, Oxfordshire SN7

Description

Surrounded by approximately 6.85 acres of established gardens and grounds, Bridge Farm is a distinguished Grade ii-listed country house extending to approximately 8,837 sq ft.

With origins dating from the 16th and 17th centuries, the property retains a wealth of historic character, including thatched elevations, ancient timbers, original fireplaces and a bread oven. Over more than two decades, the present owners have sensitively transformed and extended the house, creating a highly versatile home in which its architectural heritage is complemented by contemporary comfort.

At the heart of the house is a magnificent Neptune kitchen and family room, enhanced by an oak-framed glazed extension that opens onto the terraces and gardens. A series of handsome reception rooms provides space for both family life and larger-scale entertaining, while the principal bedroom suite has panoramic views across the private grounds.

A self-contained annexe provides flexible accommodation for guests or extended family. An additional two- or three-bedroom cottage is available by separate negotiation, further increasing the property’s versatility.

The gardens and grounds have been thoughtfully conceived to offer numerous places to relax, dine and entertain. A swimming pool, pool house, tennis court and croquet lawn are joined by productive vegetable and fruit gardens, an orchard, stables and substantial ancillary buildings.

The pool house is particularly impressive, incorporating a generous entertaining kitchen and party room that opens directly onto the pool terrace, together with further reception and leisure space.

Bridge Farm enjoys a rare balance of privacy and accessibility, surrounded by the rolling Oxfordshire countryside yet within convenient reach of Oxford and national road and rail connections to London. The historic towns of Lechlade, Burford and Woodstock are all within easy reach, while Oxford offers an excellent choice of cultural, culinary and educational amenities. The surrounding countryside provides abundant opportunities for walking, riding, golf, hunting and racing. The area is also renowned for its independent schools, including St Hugh’s, Pinewood and Burford School, alongside a number of highly regarded schools in Oxford and Abingdon.
