5 bed country house to rent

Chilson Hill, Oxfordshire OX7

Set in an elevated and commanding position within easy reach of the charming village of Chilson, this exceptional country residence extends to approximately 4,500 sq ft, offering a rare combination of scale, flexibility and far-reaching views across the Evenlode Valley and the rolling Cotswolds countryside. Perfectly positioned for access to Charlbury station, the property benefits from direct rail links into London Paddington making it ideally suited to both full-time living and as a weekend retreat.

The thoughtfully designed layout has been carefully arranged to maximise both natural light and the surrounding vistas, creating a seamless flow between the principal living spaces. A series of elegant reception rooms radiate from the heart of the home, providing both formal and informal areas ideally suited to modern family living and entertaining.

Accommodation is arranged over six bedrooms in total, with the property currently configured as a four-bedroom main house complemented by a self-contained annexe. With its own private access, the annexe offers exceptional versatility, equally suited to guest accommodation, multigenerational living or staff quarters.

A particular highlight is the striking garden room, where vaulted ceilings and expansive glazing frame uninterrupted views of the surrounding landscape, creating a tranquil and light-filled retreat throughout the seasons.

Further enhancing the practicality of the home, a generous private driveway provides extensive parking, in addition to a substantial triple garage incorporating a fully equipped workshop. The space is fitted with power, lighting and a high-speed EV charging point, catering effortlessly to both modern and traditional requirements.

The grounds extend to approximately 1.45 acres and have been thoughtfully landscaped to create a harmonious balance of formal and productive garden spaces. Expansive lawns provide an idyllic setting for outdoor living, while established vegetable plots and a variety of fruit trees offer both seasonal produce and enduring charm.

Despite its idyllic rural setting, the property remains well connected. The nearby market town of Charlbury (approximately three miles) offers a range of everyday amenities including a primary school, medical facilities, independent shops and well-regarded public houses.

The wider centres of Chipping Norton and Witney provide a broader range of shopping, dining and educational facilities, while the A44 and A40 offer convenient road connections to Oxford and beyond.

This is a home of rare quality and flexibility, set within one of the most picturesque and sought-after landscapes in the country
