Description

In a peaceful rural location on the edge of the village of Bix, the house is easily accessible to Henley on Thames, two miles away. With original features dating back to the 1920’s, the property has been sympathetically renovated in part, retaining the charm of a historic building.

The ground floor, split–level living room extends in excess of 30 feet in length, with original solid Oregon pine flooring, an open fire place at one end and a multi-fuel stove the other, and original leaded windows. The reception room leads through to the kitchen/breakfast room, via a utility area with a large walk-in larder, additional Belfast sink and original built- in storage cupboards. The kitchen itself is un-fitted, has an off-peak electric AGA and looks onto the vegetable garden and the extensive unspoilt panoramic views. There are two back doors: the first leading to the main garden, mostly laid to lawn; the second providing the additional access to the house and leading to a summer house and another smaller, sheltered garden. Off the kitchen is also a ground floor double bedroom with en-suite shower, basin and W.C., an ideal guest suite. Upstairs, the property comprises two good sized double bedrooms, fully carpeted, with bespoke fitted wardrobes in each. The light and airy master bedroom has views over the larger garden and has its own wash basin. The second bedroom has its own fireplace and triple-aspect views. Leading off the hallway are a good-sized airing cupboard and additional storage cupboard, a small bathroom and a separate W.C. The house has oil-fired central heating. It is not on mains drainage and there is no mains gas supplied to the village. It has its own fire hydrant and also benefits from a large parking area. The garden was professionally landscaped many years ago. It has two magnificent cedar trees, a weeping ash over the pond and several herbaceous borders. A gardener is included to maintaine the lawns and hedges within the rental price.

To the west of the house is a brick and tile built single garage with dual access and greenhouse.

The grazing land available for rent under separate negotiation adjoins the property and gives immediate access to livestock/horses. It is flat and has access onto the Old Bix Road by Bix Common.

PLEASE NOTE that the property will be taken as seen and no alterations, additions, re-decoration or cleaning will be undertaken by the landlord unless specifically agreed at the time of offer and upon receipt of a deposit.
