The Area
The house is within easy walking distance of the the excellent village pubs, and the breathtaking beauty of Kirtlington Park House where you can savour the delights of a Capability Brown designed parkland, join the spectators at Kirtlington Park Polo Club, explore the beautiful countryside down by the canal or at Kirtlington Quarry all within walking distance of the property.
A thoroughly charming conversion of former Victorian reading rooms, extending to c. 3,000 sq ft and set in the centre of the village just off South Green. Fantastic, recently renovated condition with large, bright and characterful rooms and a really lovely flow. Much character and great fun.
Kirtlington needs little introduction locally. It is, simply, one of the most popular villages in North Oxfordshire. There are many reasons. The great local primary school also feeds through to an excellent C of E secondary in Woodstock (with private schools also within easy driving distance). Two high quality pub/restaurants provide great food and drink. Close road and rail links (40 mins to Marylebone from Bicester North - 6 miles away) provide immensely easy commuting. The old stone quarry by the canal, plus the Capability Brown gardens of Kirtlington Park, offer lovely walks etc. And both Soho Farmhouse private members' club to Bicester Village shopping outlet are just a few miles distant. But for many, it's the community with its all-inclusive ethos, sense of vibrancy and spirit that makes it the sort of place people rarely want to leave.
Village reading rooms appeared in England as early as 1834, but most were founded between the second half of the nineteenth century and the early years of the twentieth century. Many were built by village squires anxious to “improve” their workers. a.k.a. keep them out of the pub... Other reading rooms were more democratic, however, with philanthropists looking simply to encourage greater literacy. Converted in the latter 20th century, The Old Reading Rooms of Kirtlington has been gently and sensitively improved to quite some degree over the last few years, with the accommodation today striking a lovely balance between Victorian elegance and 21st century convenience. Sitting back behind its own walled garden just a few steps from the South Green, it's ideally positioned for acess both to the the village amenities and onwards to Bicester, Oxford and London.
Outside, the space is pleasant and well planned. The house sits well back from the road behind the War Memorial, with a gravelled driveway that is large by most standards, easily able to accommodate six cars and more. To the right a stone wall curves round, providing a large degree of privacy, and to the left another stone wall encloses one of the gardens. The whole facade is delightfully mature and softly landscaped with a wide range of shrubs, flowers and hedges. A gate to the right leads to a path that runs out to the terraced garden behind the kitchen, a wonderful and secluded seating space next to the patio doors which lead into the family room. To the left of the frontage, an attractive lawned garden is fully enclosed with another access to the family room on the right as well as the door to the main bedroom suite. The vendors have always found this layout a delight to use. Sunday morning coffee in your dressing gown, or a wonderful venue for parties and meals with family and friends, it's equally lovely and secluded with a Southerly aspect.
