An idyllic historic house, mentioned in the Domesday Book, is on the market.

The Mill House, Marcham, is set against the stunning backdrop of the River Ock, and combines ancient character with every possible modern luxury.

At the end of a no-through lane, this seven-bedroomed property stands in more than six acres of land and is bordered by the mill stream.

It features an outdoor pool and hot tub overlooking the pretty gardens and open countryside — perfect for summer parties.

When the weather grows cold, the interior can be heated with three log fires or you can snuggle up beside the Aga in the kitchen,.

The impressive 13.5 metre lounge is ideal for entertaining and dining and the spacious kitchen provides a cosy heart to the home.

A separate living room offers a perfect escape for a large family.

There are five bedrooms in the main house and a further guest bedroom at the southern end of the property.

Across the cobbled courtyard are stables and storerooms. A spiral staircase leads to a coach house which has its own living and sleeping area, kitchenette and shower room.

There is a double garage and car port. The land is divided into two fields, one of which is a former cricket pitch, and a perfect paddock for horses.

Marcham village and the post office are within walking distance. The property has good links to the A34, M4 and Didcot Parkway railway station.

Marcham has an abundance of local activities, including an history society and amateur dramatic group. Frilford Heath Golf Club is within a short drive.

The property is on the market for £2.2m with Kemp & Kemp, Summertown. Call 01865 510 000 for more details.
