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
A stunning individually built Border Oak home with wonderful countryside views.
Available for the first time on the open market, The Ock Barn is a truly impressive detached home, built by the current owner and constructed by the highly regarded Border Oak.
Beautifully constructed from Green Oak and occupying approximately a fifth of an acre, this exceptional four-bedroom home enjoys a wonderful rural setting, surrounded by open fields and far-reaching views.
At certain times of the year, the famous Oxford skyline and its ‘dreaming spires’ can be seen in the distance.
The accommodation has been carefully designed to make the most of both the space and the setting.
The ground floor provides a superb open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, complemented by a separate larder.
There are also three generous bedrooms, one of which benefits from an en-suite wet room, together with a further family bathroom.
The first floor is particularly impressive, with a spacious living room featuring vaulted ceilings and wonderful views from every aspect.
The substantial principal bedroom is also located on this floor and benefits from its own en-suite bathroom, creating a peaceful and private space overlooking the surrounding countryside.
The property benefits from gas-fired underfloor heating throughout, together with solar panels and battery storage, allowing excess energy generated to be stored and used when required.
Outside, the gardens wrap around the property and have been thoughtfully landscaped, incorporating a variety of vegetable beds and a selection of mature fruit trees.
There is also a large garage and a generous driveway providing off-road parking for several vehicles.
A rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully designed and individually built home in an exceptional rural setting, The Ock Barn is offered to the market with no onward chain.
Location The Oak Barn occupies a wonderful rural position in Marston, surrounded by open countryside yet within easy reach of Oxford.
