Description Duxford Grange is a delightful country house built of brick under a slated roof which dates from around 1870. The house offers well proportioned accommodation with many features typical of the late Georgian/Victorian era extending to just over 5,008 sq ft (excluding the extensive cellars beneath much of the ground floor). The main drawing room has a deep bay to the south, a Jetmaster open fireplace with marble surround and built-in book shelving and features - in common with many of the rooms – which include high ceilings with cornicing and double hung sash windows. The current owners have carried out various improvements over their period of ownership including, in recent times, the creation of a beautifully light and spacious open plan kitchen with dining and seating areas and wide bi-folding doors to a large outdoor terrace. The kitchen features a four oven Aga and a large island range together with a walk-in pantry. A cosy sitting room with wood burning stove, a study and family room complete the reception accommodation on the ground floor. Domestic offices include a large boot room/utility and a boiler room through which access is gained to the large cellars which are divided into a number of rooms and offer potential to create additional useable space such as home cinema or similar. At first floor there are five bedrooms including a master with en suite bathroom and separate shower. The south facing bedrooms enjoy delightful distant views over rolling countryside and the bedroom at the western end has an adjacent shower room. A secondary staircase leads down to the family room.
