A 17th-century house with formal gardens and an orchard is on the market for a shade under £2m.

Court End in Adderbury, near Banbury, includes five bedrooms, a drawing room with French doors to the terrace, sitting room, dining room, study and reception hall with Arts and Crafts-style inglenook fireplace.

The master and guest bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms and dressing areas while on the top floor, a self-contained flat includes a kitchenette, sitting room, bathroom and bedroom.

The 1.7-acre grounds include a triple garage, automated gates, refurbished gym, formal gardens, an orchard and paddock.

Period features include mullion leaded light windows, exposed beams, window seats, open fireplaces, solid wooden floors and a studded-oak front door.

Nick Rudge, of Savills, said: “This property needs a little modernising. The kitchens and bathrooms are fine but could do with being upgraded and a buyer might want to redecorate and recarpet the property.

“What is now the gym could be made into a really impressive home office, whereas the self-contained flat is ideal for an au pair, nanny or teenager.

“There is one wall left of a chapel that once stood in the grounds. We understand it is 17th-century or earlier and there is huge potential to build an orangery or similar on that site.”

Court End is on the market for £1.95m.
