Property Focus: Two-bedroom home inside former 19th-century hunting lodge near Banbury for sale
A two-bedroom home set within the grounds of a former 19th-century hunting lodge near a beauty spot outside Banbury has gone on the market with a guide price of £360,000.
The home is located within the grounds of the Avon Carrow Estate, a large country house in the village of Avon Dassett.
Avon Carrow Estate is believed to have been built in 1896 and was originally used as a hunting lodge and coach house.
The estate, which was formerly home to the Profumo family, was used as a hideaway by British Secretary of State for War John Profumo during the Profumo affair in the early 1960s.
The sprawling country estate has since been divided into 16 privately owned properties.
A spokesperson for Savills estate agents said: “A rare opportunity to acquire a charming former coach house forming part of the historic Avon Carrow Estate, situated within the village of Avon Dassett.
“This characterful home offers beautifully presented accommodation arranged over three floors, seamlessly blending period features with the comforts of modern-day living.”
The two-bedroom, two-bathroom terraced property measures approximately 1,039 sq ft.
It features several period details, including stone mullion windows, high ceilings and a Hornton stone fireplace, alongside modern fixtures and fittings.
The ground floor has an entrance hall leading to a spacious dual-aspect sitting room and a kitchen with an electric oven, induction hob and tiled flooring.
The first floor contains two bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with an en-suite shower room. A separate bathroom serves the remaining accommodation.
The second floor features an attic room, which could be used as a home office, study, hobby room or guest space.
Outside, there is an enclosed rear garden, garden shed, garage and off-road parking within a communal area.
Residents of Avon Carrow Estate also have access to almost five acres of communal grounds, including mature landscaped gardens and recreational areas.
