2 Westminster Court, Barcote Park Buckland, Oxfordshire SN7 8PP 700,000 The Property A most individual Grade II listed Victorian home which is believed to have been the former grooms accommodation within the stable block of Barcote Park. The estate was originally constructed in Victorian times, with gardens designed by Lancelot Capability Brown, and lies at the end of a long private drive and beyond electric gates. The property has good flexibility and well-proportioned accommodation which, on the ground floor, consists of a large family kitchen/breakfast room which is extensively fitted, including a Rangemaster cooking range with extractor over, an American-style fridge/freezer and a central island unit with breakfast bar. Beyond is the dining room which has the original block-tiled floor and a fireplace with a wood burning stove, with a further wood burner in the sitting room which also benefits from exposed wooden floor boards. The basement has been tanked and refurbished by the present owners and now provides a very useful space which is currently utilised as a play area for the children but could provide the potential for an en suite guest wing. This includes two rooms, a cloakroom and a very useful utility room housing the plumbing for washing machine, tumble drier and the oil-fired boiler. On the first floor is a wonderful master bedroom with fireplace, wood burning stove and two large double fitted wardrobes, with a beautifully refurbished en suite bathroom, comprising twin wash hand bowls, panelled bath, WC and Travertine tiling. There are two further good-sized double bedrooms, both with corner fireplaces, and a refitted family shower room incorporating a tiled shower cubicle, wash hand basin, WC and heated towel rail. This room is also fully tiled. Outside, the property has enclosed gardens lying on two sides, which have been attractively landscaped to include a paved patio area with raised decking and a further raised paved terrace. Within the courtyard to the rear is a further seating area. The property benefits from a single garage and there is ample parking. We understand that the heating is by way of an oil-fired boiler to radiators and Barcote Park has a communal oil tank which is individually metered to each property. The residents of Westminster Court have the use of the grounds which amount to some twenty acres and have provided a wonderful space within which to walk dogs and bring up children. Amenities Barcote Park lies between the historic market town of Faringdon with all its amenities (c. 3 miles) and the picturesque village of Buckland (c. 2 miles). St Hugh s Preparatory School at Carswell is approximately half a mile away and there are convenient bus and coach links to the independent schools in Oxford and Abingdon and to Faringdon Community College.
