Summary
Heath Farm, London Road, Moreton-in-Marsh, guide price pounds 995,000. Great care has been taken in the recent conversion of this interesting listed Cotswold stone barn and its own associated outbuildings. The main part was completed in 2003 providing good family space over three levels. In 2006, the cottage was converted, now providing an annexe with one bedroom, suitable for a nanny, granny or as an office. There is a courtyard to the south of the house where doors open into the hall which has a fireplace and woodburning stove. There is a dining room with French doors to the courtyard, a drawing room with another open fireplace and a further study. The kitchen breakfast room has both oil Aga cooker and Aga companion with halogen hob and modern ovens, granite work surfaces and integrated appliances. More space has been provided in converted cart sheds, now providing a utility room as well as the sitting room with vaulted ceiling. This extra square footage has also allowed for storeroom and a playroom or sixth bedroom with its own shower room. Upstairs are two bedroom suites, two more bedrooms, another house bathroom and stairs up to the fifth bedroom alongside good loft storage. The cottage is also built of stone and has an open plan living area with kitchen as well as a spiral staircase leading up to the bedroom and shower room. An upstairs door opens onto the tallet steps which lead back down to the courtyard. There is also garaging and grounds which add up to 2.75 acres, mainly lawned and with a paved terrace to the north and west of the barn. Details from Strutt & Parker, 01608 650502.
The South Wing, Lemington House, Moretonin-Marsh, guide price pounds 799,500. Records show that this property has its roots in the 15th century, known to have been here in 1475 though significantly enlarged and remodelled in the 17th and 18th centuries. It carries a Grade ll* listing and remains one of the premier properties available in the compact town centre. The property was subdivided some years ago, large enough to create a series of smaller, though still significant properties. The South Wing bags some of the best detailing including William and Mary panelling, ornate cornices, wonderful double doors, working fireplaces and oak floorboards. The house itself is of dressed Cotswold stone with sash windows and comes with some important extras, notably good landscaped gardens to the back of the house. The ground floor has a large reception room with big sash windows and open fireplace plus two sets of ornate doors to the hall. The first floor contains two double bedrooms and a bathroom. The top level has two more good bedrooms and a shower room, details including expo. Details from Savills in Banbury, 01295 228010.See the full content of this document
