A charming country house with a fascinating provenance. Oldbury House dates back to the 18th Century with humble agricultural origins, gentrified in the mid 19th Century and previously the village school. Over the last 20 years the property has undergone a remarkable transformation and now offers a diverse and flexible interior with a sumptuous family home and adjacent annexe which offers scope for many permutations. The interior has been remodelled, whilst retaining the integrity and charm of a bygone era. The décor is neutral and the appearance is both light and spacious. The reception hall is the central axis to this family home and there are two formal receptions featuring significant bays and fireplaces which act as focal points. The sitting room has a multifunction and is currently arranged as a study providing level access to the walled garden as well as secured access to the annexe beyond. The kitchen/breakfast room combines rustic charm with contemporary fittings and includes an Aga, as well as many other appliances. Beyond is the utility, boot room and cloakroom with a secondary staircase to the first floor.

The galleried landing provides access to two bedrooms with two bathrooms, one of which features a Jack and Jill door. The master bedroom suite dominates the entire first floor front elevation and includes a generous bedroom with built-in cupboard, en-suite bathroom and a significant dressing room with an array of fitted wardrobes, this could revert to a further bedroom if desired. The top floor includes a small additional bedroom as well as a large attic room which could be adapted for further bedroom accommodation, as well as a cinema room or children's playroom.

The annexe has its own access and provides scope for an income as well as the opportunity to house a dependent relative. There is a sitting room accessed from the principal home as well as a fully fitted kitchen with a utility and cloakroom beyond. On the first floor there are two bedrooms served by a family bathroom.

Oldbury House has an impressive approach with a gravelled carriage drive to the front, side and rear. There are wrought iron gates in addition to a pedestrian gate leading to the front elevation with a turning circle and impressive planted centrepiece. To the rear of the property there is significant hardstanding with access to two garages as well as a third garage which serves as a useful store. A courtyard with flagstones and tiled overhang provides an ideal al fresco dining space capturing the evening sun. The gardens are walled and principally laid to lawn with a healthy planting programme including many evergreens, climbers and shrubs. This is a perfect and safe children's environment and the gardens enjoy a good sunny orientation. Beyond the curtilage and adjacent to the road is a large paddock suitable for grazing.
