Description

This unique Cotswold stone residence, a combination of a farmhouse and adjacent shop and barn, offers a rare opportunity to acquire a sizable property with off-street parking in the picturesque village of Charlbury. The property has a rich history, having been the residence of Dr Charles Lane, a co-inventor of the mRNA expression technology used in Covid vaccines. The house has undergone various remodelings and extensions, resulting in a blend of original and modern features. The property boasts a Gothic-style orangery, a courtyard reminiscent of an Oxford college, and a spectacular view across the valley towards Cornbury House and Wychwood Forest. The grounds are two-tiered, with a stone wall and mature trees providing privacy. With subject to planning, the property could be split into two separate residences. Charlbury is a charming village with a strong sense of community, located on the main railway line to Oxford and London, offering easy access to employment opportunities and amenities.
