We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Middleway Farm House is a special Boars Hill home: An original 1700s farmhouse, so named for its position midway between Oxford and Abingdon, with a Victorian extension, former stable block annexe and large studio.
Loved by the same owners since the 1970s, it now offers an exciting chance to create one of the area’s most memorable family homes.
The house is full of atmosphere, from flint and brick elevations to exposed beams, brickwork, tiled floors and a working fireplace.
The ground floor offers generous reception space including a characterful sitting room, a double-aspect dining room with bay window looking onto the sunny terrace, a further sitting room and a kitchen in the Victorian extension with exposed flint/brick walls, Velux windows, utility and cloakroom.
A staircase leads down to the old cellar, ideal for storage or future conversion, subject to consent.
Upstairs, a wide landing serves four good bedrooms, many with box sash windows, basins and lovely light, plus a family bathroom and views towards Wootton village and Boars Hill.
The adjoining stable block has operated as a self-contained annexe for over 70 years, with living room, kitchen, bathroom and double bedroom, ideal for multi-generational living, guests or income potential.
A separate studio/play room could, subject to consents, be connected to the annexe.
In need of modernisation, this is a rare lifestyle opportunity close to Oxford, pubs, village shops, schools, bus and rail links - with a vibrant community centre within 1/2 a mile.
Outside A mature, wrap-around south-east facing garden gives the house a wonderfully private setting, enclosed by established hedges and trees with sunny terrace areas, a pond and attractive views.
There is scope to enhance the grounds further and potential room to build a separate garage, subject to the necessary consents.
Situation Highly desirable Boars Hill setting, offering a rare blend of countryside charm and excellent Oxford convenience, approximately 4 miles from Oxford Station, with regular bus links close by, easy access to central Oxford, nearby Cumnor village amenities including shops, post office, pubs and primary school, The Fox Inn country pub within easy reach, Cumnor CE Primary School rated Good and just over a mile away, surrounded by attractive countryside while remaining wonderfully connected.
