About this property

A rare Boars Hill farmhouse, rich in history and character, with a self-contained annexe, large studio, cellar and wrap-around gardens. Midway between Oxford and Abingdon, with Oxford station about 4 miles from Boars Hill, village shops, pubs and schools close by, this is a remarkable home with huge potential.

Middleway Farm House is a special Boars Hill home: an original 1700s farmhouse, so named for its position midway between Oxford and Abingdon, with a Victorian extension, former stable block annexe and large studio. Loved by the same owners since the 1970s, it now offers an exciting chance to create one of the area’s most memorable family homes.

The house is full of atmosphere, from flint and brick elevations to exposed beams, brickwork, tiled floors and a working fireplace.

The ground floor offers generous reception space including a characterful sitting room, a double-aspect dining room with bay window looking onto the sunny terrace, a further sitting room and a kitchen in the Victorian extension with exposed flint/brick walls, Velux windows, utility and cloakroom. A staircase leads down to the old cellar, ideal for storage or future conversion, subject to consent. Upstairs, a wide landing serves four good bedrooms, many with box sash windows, basins and lovely light, plus a family bathroom and views towards Wootton village and Boars Hill.

The adjoining stable block has operated as a self-contained annexe for over 70 years, with living room, kitchen, bathroom and double bedroom, ideal for multi-generational living, guests or income potential. A separate studio/play room could, subject to consents, be connected to the annexe. In need of modernisation, this is a rare lifestyle opportunity close to Oxford, pubs, village shops, schools, bus and rail links - with a vibrant community centre within 1/2 a mile.

Outside
A mature, wrap-around south-east facing garden gives the house a wonderfully private setting, enclosed by established hedges and trees with sunny terrace areas, a pond and attractive views.
