5 bed detached house for sale

Westbrook Street, Blewbury OX11

A charming Grade II listed attached traditional timber framed house set in secluded gardens of over one third of an acre right in the heart of this delightful South Oxfordshire village.

Brookside dates in part from the mid-17th century ( English Heritage) and has been in the same family ownership for over fifty years during which time the property has been significantly extended to offer versatile family accommodation with 3/4 reception rooms and five bedrooms extending to just over 2,600 sq ft.(243sqm)

The property is now in need of some cosmetic refurbishment and improvement and offers tremendous potential to create a unique character home in a lovely setting.

The gardens are a particular feature lying to the side and rear of the house culminating at the eastern side in a stream. A footbridge crosses the stream to an island, which forms part of the garden where an old water wheel stands, which at one time, apparently provided power to part of the village.
