The Terrace House is a most impressive Grade II Listed Villa with origins dating back to the late 18th century. This is arguably one of the finest properties in Milton-under-Wychwood. The house is set back from the road behind impressive local stone walls with two fine pairs of ball-capped gate piers. It is approached via a sweeping ‘in and out’ gravel driveway with large front lawn and mature shrubs and hedges to the side.
The property has been sympathetically remodelled and beautifully decorated since our vendors occupation in 1987. It now provides two floors of elegant and highly versatile accommodation.
There are numerous period features such as elegant 12 pane sash windows, flagstone floors, fireplaces, exposed timbers, window shutters and traditional wooden doors and architraves, with the family kitchen and numerous bathrooms finished to a high standard.
The highly flexible accommodation offers a good variety of reception rooms and guest bedrooms, plus the conversion of the original detached Coach House, which provides ancillary and independent accommodation to the main house. This is ideal not only for family living, but also for those with dependant relatives and working from home requirements.
Entering the property via stone steps through a rather impressive ‘Tuscan’ porch the front door opens onto the wonderfully elegant flagstone hallway/reception hall with open fireplace, this leads to a formal drawing room on the left, a formal dining room to the rear with French doors providing access to the beautiful garden and a further family room/snug. The bespoke shaker style farmhouse kitchen complete with AGA runs along the back of the house with side door to parking area and access to the cellar currently used as a boiler room/utility room. The ground floor also provides a WC.
Leading from the main entrance hall, the staircase rises to the central first floor landing. The principal bedroom enjoys the views over the front gardens with a separate dressing room with a good selection of wardrobe cupboards and a separate en-suite shower room. From the landing there are four further double bedrooms and a large family bathroom.
To the side of the house there is a dedicated parking area for guests and access to the recently converted coach house which provides two internal garages (one with a separate WC). The front door opens onto a hallway with stairs leading up to a fabulous reception room with kitchen area and good storage, newly fitted shower room and a double bedroom with built in storage/wardrobes.
