Buyers have an opportunity to give a new lease of life to a property, which nestles in the delightful Windrush Valley.

Built in the 1930s in a secluded position on the edge of Minster Lovell, between Witney and Burford, Orchard House offers elegant, light and spacious accommodation with real potential to create a family home.

Many of the well-proportioned rooms have high ceilings and oak doors and the hallway boasts an oak floor with an imposing galleried staircase.

All the principal rooms, including the kitchen and breakfast room, enjoy a sunny southerly aspect overlooking the garden and grounds and a study has French doors which lead into the garden.

On the first floor there are six bedrooms, two of which are en-suite, and two bathrooms. A staircase leads to a further bedroom and large attic space which offers potential for conversion.

There is a double garage, offering the opportunity to create a one-bedroomed flat or office above, subject to the necessary planning consents.

The formal gardens to the east, south and west of the house are mainly laid to lawn with herbaceous borders and mature trees. There is also a tennis court in need of restoration.

The main house stands in about 2.22 acres of land and there is a further 0.82 acres of pasture land available as a separate lot.

Orchard House is on the market through Savills (01865 339700) at £1.95m.
