Situation The Rockies is located on the outskirts of Fencott, one of the historic ‘seven towns of Otmoor’, an area of great landscape value and provides excellent walks and bridleways. Fencott itself is conveniently positioned between the larger villages of Murcott and Charlton on Otmoor. The former is home to The Nut Tree Inn which is a Michelin starred restaurant and public house, the latter has a highly regarded village primary school, a handsome large 13th century church and a village public house. Lying between Oxford and Bicester, this tranquil village offers fast and easy access to the comprehensive amenities of both and equally is convenient for rail travel to London in under an hour and elsewhere by the Chiltern line available at Bicester, Islip and Oxford. Road travel is equally convenient with access to the A34 and M40 within a few miles.

Directions From Oxford proceed north along the A34 taking the exit for Islip and Bletchingdon. Follow the signs into Islip and after The Red Lion public house turn left into Middle Street. Continue straight on at the end in the direction of Charlton on Otmoor and continue along this road and then take the third right turn signposted Charlton on Otmoor and Murcott. Pass through the village of Charlton on Otmoor and after a short distance you will reach the outskirts of Fencott and the property will be seen on the left. Description The Rockies is a handsome detached stone period house believed to date from around the mid 17th century. It is Grade II listed, and has in recent years been thoughtfully and comprehensively modernised and upgraded with care being taken to retain the original character features and combine them with the requirements of modern day living. Improvements include lowering the floors to retain good head height, installing under floor heating and hardwood ‘Iroko’ double glazed windows, re-thatching with water reed, re-pointing and re-plastering, completely new electric wiring and plumbing throughout with the installation of bespoke quality bathrooms and kitchen. The property has hardwood flooring to the upper floors and limestone flooring on the ground floor and benefits from an internal hoovering system for ease of maintenance. A floor plan is provided within these particulars showing the approximate size, layout and orientation of the rooms internally, and the photographs give an indication of their appeal. Externally, the property is enclosed by handsome stone walls and the gardens have been professionally landscaped currently for easy management. Within the rear garden a unique ‘folly’ wall has been constructed to conceal a large covered area and the rear garden also houses the substantial double garage with room over, within which is the wood fired boiler for the heating (please note that the clients chose this as an efficient heating source but alternative boiler systems could easily be installed if required). The rear garden also has a good terrace area for relaxing, a water feature and a vegetable section with raised beds. To the front, the property is accessed by a wide gated driveway providing extensive parking and the front garden has been landscaped to allow open views across countryside.

Services Mains water, electricity and drainage are connected.
