Despite looking as though it is a Cotswold manor that is hundreds of years old, Orchard House is so recently built that it is not yet finished.

The property, which is in Islip, has the potential for around six or seven bedrooms when complete and has space for four or five reception rooms on the ground floor.

There is also a self-contained wing that is being used a cottage annexe but has been designed so that it can be easily incorporated into the main house, if a buyer wishes.

There is parking space in the courtyard at the front, a large stone garden outbuilding at the side and walled gardens.

Sarah Allington, of agents Oliver James, said: “Orchard House is an impressive stone-built detached village property, in the latter stages of construction, which has been sympathetically designed and built in the style of a traditional Cotswold manor house with major attention to historical detail.”

There is also a stone-built detached, triple garage and a utility block with rooms above which are being used as home offices.

Mrs Allington said the buyer would be someone who wanted to complete the project and put their own stamp on it.

She added: “It is an open book that someone can take forward. For example, the space above the garage is being used as office space, but has the potential to provide further self-contained coach house-style accommodation, subject to any necessary planning consents.

In all, the property offers in excess of 7,000 sq ft of accommodation and has a huge range of possibilities for whoever takes it on.

“The property stands on a large plot in a prime location in this sought after village with far-reaching views over fields and countryside to the front.

Orchard House occupies a large plot in what is an enviable and secluded position.

“There are far-reaching views over fields and countryside at the front and it is only a short walk from amenities including a beautiful church, a village hall with an excellent community shop, primary school and health centre with its own pharmacy.

“There is also the major advantage of a railway station providing a service into Oxford and on to London, Paddington.”

Orchard House is on the market for a guide price of £1.5m.
