Wheatfield House is a superb Grade II listed Georgian property of grand proportions surrounded by historic parkland. Owned by the same family for many years, Wheatfield House has been a much-loved family home that now represents an opportunity to renovate a historic Georgian country house in Oxfordshire.
All of the principal reception rooms are superbly proportioned, including the reception hall which has patterned flagstone flooring and an impressive galleried staircase. The drawing room is wonderfully light, with a south-easterly aspect looking out over the gardens through three floor-to-ceiling sash windows. Decorative detailing is present throughout the house, with small carved details on the stair balustrade and on the ceiling cornicing.
Accommodation in total comprises: reception hall, sitting room, study, drawing room, kitchen, dining room, boot room, cellar and wine store. Upstairs are the master bedroom suite and guest suite, plus four further bedrooms and two further bathrooms.
The gardens and grounds at Wheatfield House are cleverly designed to enjoy the space and surrounding countryside. Superb uninterrupted views of the surrounding estate are enjoyed from the drawing room and the formal gardens to the South East of the house; the grounds come to around five acres.
Wheatfield is a charming hamlet of just a handful of properties set in midst of rural Oxfordshire, just six miles from is the popular market town of Thame which offers a wide selection of shops, public houses and independent retailers.
