About
An exceptional four-bedroom detached family home, The Old Crown blends timeless Georgian-style character with generous proportions, high ceilings, and beautifully balanced living spaces.
Bathed in natural light and set within an attractive 0.26 acre plot in the sought after village of East Hanney, it offers a rare combination of elegance and practicality.
Built in 1831, the property makes an immediate impression on approach.
Its handsome red brick façade is complemented by the charming stone-built former 18th-century brewhouse that enriches the home's historic appeal.
Mature trees and a neatly maintained frontage frame the setting, while a gravelled driveway provides convenient parking to the front and gated side access leads to further gravelled parking, enhancing both practicality and kerb appeal.
At the heart of the home lies a magnificent triple-aspect kitchen/family room, flooded with natural light and perfectly designed for modern family living and entertaining, with two superb fireplaces, one housing a wood-burning stove.
This superb space is further complemented by a separate pantry, a generous dining room ideal for formal occasions, and a welcoming sitting room offering a more intimate retreat.
Additional ground-floor accommodation includes a cloakroom and a well-appointed utility/boot room, complete with a useful loft space above.
The ground-floor accommodation is both spacious and flexible and could be tailored to most family requirements.
Upstairs, the property offers four well-proportioned double bedrooms, two of which benefit from en-suite facilities.
The principal bedroom enjoys the added luxury of access to a magnificent Jack-and-Jill family bathroom, finished to a high standard and designed for both comfort and practicality.
The gardens are predominantly laid to lawn with a large patio and bordered by mature trees and established hedging, creating a sense of tranquillity and are ideal for family enjoyment.
With the addition of a clean and dry cellar (average head height 1.8m), a large shed and useful workshop, The Old Crown presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and characterful home in a desirable Oxfordshire village setting, combining period Georgian charm with modern family functionality.
