About
A unique period barn conversion listed Grade II offering imaginatively configured, particularly stylish split-level accommodation in a wonderful tucked away location in the heart of this pretty and popular village.
In addition, the property benefits from a detailed planning consent to build a statement three bedroom dwelling to the western side of the site.
Originally converted in the late 1980s by the then architect owner, Rumseys Barn has been comprehensively re-styled by the present owners, thoughtfully blending contemporary accents with the original structure to create a unique family home.
The Barn is approached via a long driveway leading to a gravel courtyard and double garage. The landscaped gardens with architectural terrace lie to the rear of the barn.
There is the option to develop the property by adding an approved additional house and comprehensive details are available on request.
The property falls within the village conservation area and lies adjacent to Rumseys Lane, a quiet footpath that connects with The Cleve, a natural spring fed basin that was at one time the site of the village watercress beds and connecting paths that extend throughout the village.
Blewbury remains one of the prettiest of the South Oxfordshire villages renowned for its active community with a host of 50 or so clubs and societies covering a diverse spectrum of activities including the arts, sports clubs and general pastimes.
Village facilities include a primary school, pre-school, a thriving farm shop, garage and convenience store, community Post Office and two vibrant village pubs.
