Description

Nestled in the heart of Thrupp, a desirable canal side village renowned for its towpath walks, two popular public houses and a traditional tea shop. This quintessential characterful home combines perfectly charm, stylish decor and modern comfort with the additional benefit of approx. 5.29 acre plot. Upper Barn offers 2,496 sq ft of light-filled living space set across two floors with the welcoming hall just the beginning of the delights that follow. A sleek gloss white and black kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of units, integrated appliances, and central island with seating, and this in turn opens to the dining area offering ample room for family entertaining whilst enjoying a view across the garden. The focal point in the sitting room is the open fireplace creating a cosy ambience for family relaxing on those chilly evenings. A delightful garden room links the dining area and sitting room, and the cloakroom completes this superb ground floor picture.

To the first floor the exceptional principal bedroom has exposed timber beam and benefits from a spacious ensuite bathroom. Three further double bedrooms are well served by the modern bathroom. Bedroom five is currently used as a study.

Outside, the truly lovely garden has been well-tended over the years and is home to an expanse of lawn, and a host of mature shrubs and trees. The gardens enjoy a high degree of privacy and provide a fine space to unwind and enjoy some alfresco entertaining on the large patio. In addition to the delightful garden there is a paddock, in all approximately 5.29 acres that may well suit a buyer with an equestrian interest. Additional benefits include two garages and three parking spaces.

The pleasant location and stone-built exterior add to the property's appeal, offering a sense of tranquillity and seclusion making this an opportunity for either family living or perhaps a delightful weekend retreat. Upper Barn is the epitome of country life at its very best.

Thrupp is a picturesque village with two public houses, a popular tea room and scenic canal and countryside walks on the doorstep. Nearby Kidlington offers excellent amenities, and there are regular bus services into Oxford, and Oxford Parkway station provides rapid access to London Marylebone. Kidlington has a thriving community with a variety of pubs, restaurants, shops and supermarkets. There are several local schools in Kidlington with well regarded independent schools six miles away in Oxford. There is also excellent access to the A34 and M40 to London and Birmingham.
