The opportunity to obtain an idyllic country house in the attractive and secluded location of Enstone in Oxforshire rarely presents itself on the market. Set in five acres of its own land, Drystone Hill House enjoys wonderful views over an impressive garden and out across surrounding countryside.
The house was commissioned in 1923 for the Hon Miss Bruce, the spinster daughter of Lord Elgin. Constructed of local stone, the property offers a high standard of accommodation and is conveniently situated between Oxford and Chipping Norton.
A large hall leads to the drawing room and dining room and there is also a conservatory and a light, airy kitchen. Upstairs there is a master bedroom with dressing room, a guest suite and two further bedrooms. There is also a self-contained guest wing, separate cottage, extensive garaging and outbuildings.
