This well-proportioned family home in the village of Steeple Claydon balances well-proportioned rooms, tasteful period touches and wonderful adaptable accommodation space thanks to a number of outbuildings.
There’s plenty to commend about The Moat, in Steeple Claydon, near Buckingham, from the peaceful setting to the fine country views and the barge-board clad period barn, which accommodates a spacious games room, as well as a double garage.
The wonderful property, currently on the market via John D Wood & Co with a guide price of £1.295 million, is approached via a private gravel drive and is set in about half an acre of mature gardens.
The 3,553sq ft interior of this Victorian house, which has two receptions rooms, five to six bedrooms and a study, has kept intact many period features, such as ornate architraves and fine fireplaces.
Another timber-frame building is presently used for storage, but could suit other purposes, subject to planning consent.
