Description
Linden House is a deceptively spacious house originally forming the stable block and hayloft to the neighbouring property, Croughton Lodge. Situated within the village but surrounded by its about 2.8 acres of gardens and open grassland, it offers a tremendous opportunity to create unique accommodation, especially for multigenerational living.
The house has been extended and updated over the years, having previously been used for private offices. The most recent refurbishment was completed in 2018 with new kitchens and bathrooms and offers exceptionally spacious ground floor accommodation. The house now consists of sitting room, spacious drawing room, family room, study and ground floor bedroom and shower room. The kitchen/breakfast room is centrally located with utility and wc adjacent. There are two front entrances, the main being used to go through into the reception hall next to the kitchen. Upstairs on the first floor are seven bedrooms (three en suite) and two further separate bath and shower rooms. There is huge scope to alter the arrangement of the bedrooms to suit all requirements.
There is planning permission for the main property to be sub divided into three individual dwellings with the addition of a separate four bay garage. Planning reference: Wns/2022/2305/ful. This includes a two bedroom cottage (single level living), five bedroom house and two bedroom cottage. This is in addition to the stone detached three bedroom, one bathroom, kitchen, sitting room annexe that currently exists.
Outside the house is approached via wrought iron electric gates with the front part of the drive shared with Croughton Lodge. This leads through into a private drive flanked by two stone pillars with spacious parking area for several vehicles. Much of the grounds are laid to lawn with mature trees and shrubs providing privacy. There is huge scope to landscape the grounds of about 2.8 acres. This property would suit families and extended families needing to live together but separately.
Location
Linden House is situated in the pretty village of Croughton which benefits from a Co-op, school and village hall. The nearby towns, including Brackley (3 miles), Banbury (9 miles), Bicester (9 miles), Oxford (23 miles) and Milton Keynes (24 miles), provide extensive recreational, cultural and leisure facilities.
Banbury and Bicester mainline stations provide regular services to London Marylebone in under an hour and Birmingham to the north. M40 (junction 10) lies 5.5 miles to the south providing access to London, M25 (national motorway network), airports at Birmingham 46 miles, Coventry 38 miles and Heathrow 60 miles.
Educational facilities in the area include a primary school in Croughton and senior schools Chenderit (Middleton Cheney) and Magdalen College School (Brackley). Local preparatory schools include Winchester House (Brackley) and Beachborough (Westbury), St. John’s Priory (Banbury), Carrdus (Overthorpe). Senior Independent schools include Bloxham School, Tudor Hall Girls (Bloxham) and Stowe, as well as the Oxford Schools.
Leisure and sporting activities in the area include Soho Farmhouse at Great Tew (12 miles); horse racing at Warwick and Cheltenham; golf at Chesterton, Tadmarton Heath and Cherwell Edge; tennis at Adderbury, Kings Sutton, Deddington and Brackley; motor racing at Silverstone; theatre at Stratford-upon-Avon and Oxford; Bicester Village outlet centre; hunting with the Bicester and Heythrop Hunts and Polo at Kirtlington. The surrounding area hosts many footpaths and bridleways for walking and riding. Bridleways lead directly from the property and provide extensive hacking opportunities.
