The Old Manor is an imposing Georgian Grade II listed property situated in the
highly desirable village of Bourton which lies two and half miles south of
Shrivenham in the glorious Vale of the White Horse
This dressed stone house was originally two separate dwellings that have been
seamlessly combined to create a stunning home with flexible living
accommodation to suit every need. Upon entering, you are greeted by a hall
with rooms on both sides and ahead is the staircase to the first floor. To the
front of the property is the drawing room with handmade, bespoke bookcases,
open fireplace and wonderfully high ceilings. On the other side of the hall
sits a family room with shutters, a fireplace, and an original Georgian
alcove. This would make a wonderful snug to curl up with the children in front
of the fire in the depths of winter. Further along the hallway, to the rear of
the house, is the vendors' current dining room, which also includes the
original alcove and floor to ceiling cupboard. Equally, this room could also
be re - purposed as a study, dining room or fifth bedroom. There is a superb
kitchen diner which has recently been refurbished and crafted by John Lewis of
Hungerford. Ample Shaker - style floor and wall mounted units offer an array of
storage positioned under solid marble work surfaces. Integrated appliances
include a Rangemaster Nexus cooker, dishwasher and inbuilt bin system, and the
abundance of Georgian features is continued. From here you are led through to
a Victorian extension which houses a large laundry room and accommodates all
further white goods. There is also a larder cupboard where the fridge /
freezer is housed and access to the rear garden. Completing the ground floor
accommodation is a well - equipped bathroom. Upstairs the sense of space, style
and elegance continues. The master bedroom and large second bedroom are to the
front, with views extending over the Ridgeway with bedroom two boasting a wall
of in - built wardrobes. Bedrooms three and four are separated by the landing
and modern family shower room. There are also two lofts with separate access
points providing a wealth of storage. Outside, the front garden is laid
predominantly to lawn with a mature beech hedge providing privacy from the
quiet street. A long drive runs to the side of the property and leads to the
rear garden. This part of the garden is split up into two lovely and private
designated areas of trees, shrubs, and patios - a real sun trap and an idyllic
spot for al fresco dining.

The village of Bourton is picturesquely
situated in the Vale of the White Horse and on the western boundary of
Oxfordshire and yet within easy reach of Swindon and the M4 as well as Oxford
and the A34/M40 via the A420. There is a co - educational preparatory school,
Pinewood School, in the former Bourton House and a village hall in the former
Baptist church. St James' parish church is part of a single Church of England
benefice with six neighbouring churches.
Nearby Shrivenham is one of the larger villages within the Vale of the White
Horse and is located to the north east of Swindon (circa 5 miles) and to the
south west of the market town of Faringdon (circa 5 miles). The village itself
has an extremely active community and a bypass built in 1984 ensures that
Shrivenham's rural atmosphere is preserved. There is a lovely tree - lined high
street with shops, a bank, public houses, a doctors' surgery, village primary
school and impressive Church, parts dating back to the 11th Century. There is
also a golf course.
