Space, flexibility and the ability to work from home — these are rare qualities in any property.

Add in substantial gardens and the promise of country living less than a mile from the Oxford Ring Road, then Guyden’s Farm in Garsington is a rare gem indeed.

Dating back to 1784 the property is surrounded by open countryside and has unusual features with the potential to be moulded to the purchaser’s own needs. At present it comprises an open- plan barn conversion with accommodation consisting of a kitchenette/dining room with bedroom and shower room above.

The main part of the property provides a sitting room, kitchen/ dining room, utility on the ground floor with two bedrooms above including a master with ensuite plus a study/third bedroom.

The barn also has occasional gallery use and planning permission for office conversion.

The grounds also contain four offices of different sizes and a workshop which could easily be used as a workshop perhaps for a classic car enthusiast, an artist’s studio or a small business.

As well as the large gardens, there is a substantial carp pond and large hard standing area.

Agents at the Oxford office of James C Penny say that such is the diversity of the plot, the vendor would be willing to engage interest in different elements.

Those seeking the ‘good life’ and requiring a small holding with the potential for additional income from the rental of the offices.

It is an ideal location for someone wanting to get away from it all by living and working at home while retaining the convenience of the city centre nearby. Guyden’s Farm is on the market for £1.25m.
