Ardley is a small village on the Northern edge of Oxfordshire. Its history dates back to the 12th century and evidence of its roots can still be seen at both the Ardley Castle mound and the Church of St Mary. The village is exceptionally well located with good schooling in nearby Fritwell, several pubs nearby, lovely rolling countryside, and transport links are exceptional with M40 junction 10 a mile distant (where there are various shops including Costa, M&S, W H Smiths etc) and Bicester North mainline station with a fast train to London Marylebone just 4 miles distant.
St Mary's Barn was converted just 3 years ago from its original agricultural origin to the stylish house it is today. No feature has been left to chance. From underfloor heating to air source heat extraction, oak floors to hardwood windows and the latest insulation, it is a cosseting and glamorous property in equal measure. The semi open plan living areas have been cleverly designed to ensure each has its own identity and clear use, but with the generosity of space only a barn can offer still evident.
The kitchen is light with the vaulted ceiling and exposed beams giving a great feeling of space. It is exceptionally well planned, with a long run of German built wall and base units plus a vast central island, set on a tiled floor. The cooker and hob is also German. Through the arch, the dining room continues a huge run of storage cupboards to the while of one wall, cleverly coloured white to disappear into the wall. The dining room is large, more than ample for a sizeable table and chairs with generous space left for a dresser, upright piano etc. This gives way to the living room, light and positive, aided by the vaulted ceiling and oak beams adjacent to the full height glazing looking out to the rear. Here there are stairs rising to a large mezzanine area with exposed roof trusses, capable of being used as an office or den, a great area to retreat from the rest of the living space.
The bedrooms are set on both floors. To the ground floor at the near end, a large double with windows to two walls is well proportioned, and includes an attractive modern en-suite. Just off the living room a smaller bedroom/ study is bright, and storage cupboards are integrated to the side. Upstairs, two ample double bedrooms both include vaulted and beamed ceilings, and serving the pair is another modern bathroom with bath and shower.
Outside, the space is more generous than expected. A driveway for several vehicles behind gates is reached from the side road. Beyond, the lawn extends a good length, widening out and running some 150 feet, past the terrace to a secluded and very private area under trees. It's gently landscaped and enclosed with fences to all sides, ideal for children in the heart of the village overlooking the church and a delightful place for sunny summer days.
