<strong>MILLSTREAM</strong> <strong>HOUSE</strong> <strong></strong> Millstream House is a substantial and particularly attractive Grade II listed village house, believed to date from the 18th century with later additions, occupying a generous plot of approximately 1.5 acres in the heart of Stadhampton.<br/><br/>Set behind wooden gates and enclosed in part by stone walling, a generous gravel driveway provides ample parking.<br/><br/>The house has been in the same family ownership for some 43 years and now presents an exciting opportunity for a new owner to create a truly special home. While the property would benefit from a programme of modernisation and updating, it offers beautifully proportioned rooms, impressive ceiling heights and an abundance of character. Despite its scale and rather grand proportions, Millstream House retains a particularly warm and welcoming feel.<br/><br/>The ground-floor accommodation includes an entrance lobby, boot room with cloakroom, two separate reception rooms and a kitchen/dining room. The principal reception rooms opens onto a raised terrace, with lovely views over the gardens. There is also a rear lobby, utility room, further cloakroom, pantry and useful storage.<br/><br/>On the first floor are five bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite bathroom and separate cloakroom, while the second bedroom has an en-suite shower room. Three further bedrooms are served by the family bathroom.<br/><br/>The south-facing gardens and grounds are a particular feature of Millstream House, extending in all to approximately 1.5 acres and comprising extensive lawns interspersed with mature trees and established planting. Chalgrove Brook borders the property on the western boundary, while a tennis court lies towards the far end of the garden and although currently unused and requiring refurbishment, offers further potential.<br/><br/>A particularly useful addition is the detached Coach House, converted to provide accommodation over two floors. The ground floor comprises an entrance lobby, kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, reception room and shower room, with three bedrooms on the first floor. The Coach House provides wonderfully flexible ancillary accommodation, lending itself to a variety of uses including guest accommodation, a home office, gym or space for extended family.<br/><br/>Millstream House is a home of considerable character and potential. The combination of its substantial accommodation, beautiful proportions, extensive grounds and separate Coach House provides a rare opportunity to sympathetically update and enhance a very special property, creating an exceptional family home in one of South Oxfordshire's well-regarded villages.<br/><br/>The property is offered for sale with no onward chain.<br/> <br/><br/><strong>STADHAMPTON</strong> <strong></strong> Stadhampton is a popular and attractive village with a thriving community, surrounded by beautiful Oxfordshire countryside and situated approximately 8 miles from Oxford.
