Imposing detached residence combining 1930s character with an immaculate interior, extended to create a luxurious living space overlooking a magnificent garden.
Chelmarsh House is one of only ten detached houses constructed between the 1930s and 1950s on agricultural land, backing onto an orchard. It was purchased in 2001 by the current owners and has been extended, renovated and updated to an exacting standard including new wiring and plumbing throughout
Situated in the village of Bodicote to the South of Banbury, it offers both excellent access to local facilities and to Oxford, the M40 motorway and the mainline railway station. The property also affords acccess to the Cotswolds as well as the hugely attractive Oxfordshire countryside. The rural theme has been continued into the mature garden offering interest throughout the year and from many angles through a wealth of specimen shrubs, fruit trees, borders and perennials.
