Description
Paddock House is a spacious and attractively built 17th Century former farmhouse located in a quiet ‘no through’ road on the western edge of the village of Bodicote on the outskirts of Banbury. The house is listed Grade 2 for its special architectural and historic interest and includes an attached 2 double bedroom annexe (The Coach House) with its own separate access. The main house retains many of its original features and period charm but now also benefits from a number of recent upgrades including a lovely extended kitchen / breakfast room with doors to the rear garden. The ground and first floor rooms are large and airy with sash windows and high ceilings, and feature many additional period features such as wood panelling, original doors, fireplaces, wide plank wooden floors, flagstones and a beautiful cherry wood staircase. The Coach House offers modern accommodation suitable for elderly relatives, a live in nanny, or as a convenient holiday let producing an additional income. The overall plot size is approximately 0.45 acres and features driveway parking, a formal front garden and a particularly attractive and secluded rear south and west facing garden with greenhouse, vegetable garden, garden store, pergola, and numerous planted borders and trees such as Magnolia, Walnut, and Beech. Paddock House therefore provides an extensive family home with separate accommodation in the centre of this quiet well located village, with all the facilities of Banbury within a few minutes drive including fast train connections to London Marylebone in just 55 minutes. The location allows easy driving to the nearest North Cotswolds villages (10 miles) as well as many other nearby attractions and amenities including Soho Farmhouse (10 miles) and Bicester Village (14 miles).
