A truly exceptional and immensely characterful Grade II listed village home, Springfield House is a rare opportunity to acquire a magnificent 17th-century ironstone residence set within beautifully landscaped private grounds extending to just under an acre. Rich in heritage, charm and presence, this remarkable four-bedroom property effortlessly combines centuries of architectural history with versatile modern family living.

Approached via a private driveway with extensive parking, the house immediately impresses with its handsome period façade and idyllic setting within this sought-after village. Inside, the accommodation is filled with warmth, atmosphere and authenticity, showcasing an abundance of original features including striking stone fireplaces, exposed beams, elm floorboards, quarry tiled floors and a historically significant staircase referenced in Traditional Domestic Architecture in the Banbury Region.

The principal reception rooms are both elegant and inviting, with generous proportions, wood-burning stoves and views across the gardens. The recently renovated kitchen is full of personality and practicality, complemented by a separate breakfast area with stable door opening to the grounds, while a delightful mezzanine level creates an additional bright and flexible living space.

Across the upper floors are four well-balanced double bedrooms, served by two recently renovated bathrooms, all enjoying natural light and captivating views of the surrounding gardens.

Externally, Springfield House is every bit as impressive as the house itself. The enchanting grounds offer mature trees, sweeping lawns, walled gardens, gravelled pathways and a variety of terraces ideal for outdoor dining, entertaining or peaceful relaxation.

Adding further distinction is The Old Tannery — a substantial detached stone outbuilding brimming with potential as a studio, gym, games room, entertaining barn, home office or additional accommodation (subject to any necessary consents). Additional outbuildings include Blanche Cottage - a fantastic opportunity to convert into annex accommodation subject to planning, a large store and pigsties for storage.

Springfield House is far more than a house — it is a lifestyle property of rare provenance, immense charm and extraordinary versatility, tucked away in one of the area’s most desirable villages with excellent access to Banbury, the M40 and rail links to London.

A home of remarkable beauty, history and opportunity - early viewing is essential.
