The Property

The Rickyard is an exceptional family home, ideally located for all the high end amenities the Cotswolds boast, but tucked away enough to be private and tranquil. The main property offers over 3000 sq ft of lavishly equipped living space which is perfect for entertaining. This is supplemented with a further two bedroom cottage, and an en-suite guest room over the garage providing further accommodation. Either of these could also allow staff their own accommodation if required.

The property is available immediately.

The Grounds

Totalling over 1.5 acres, the grounds are adjacent to many acres of farmland. They offer a mixture of meadows and more formal gardens and provide many spaces to soak up the peace and quiet and enjoy being close to nature. You'll find a football net, a games room with table tennis, darts and pinball, as well as an outdoor heated swimming pool with comfortable sun loungers. This spectacular setting of entertainment is overlooked by an outdoor dining space, with cosy sofas and a large table underneath a wooden pergola which is absolutely perfect for BBQs. There is also a sheltered picnic area with superb views situated at the bottom of the paddock. The property also has its own visiting gardener (at the tenants expense)

Situation

Asthall Leigh is a hamlet of Asthall in the parish of Oxfordshire and lies just south of the River Windrush. Its expansion from just 141 residents in the mid nineteenth century began with the building of St Johns Chapel, the property now being sold, in 1861 through to the memorial hall in the early 20th century and then an infill of residential buildings from the 1950's through to the 1970's. The village lies in an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is a rural hamlet surrounded by delightful rolling countryside. Local shopping facilities are found in the nearby market towns of Burford and Witney, whilst Oxford provides the main shopping and cultural centres for the area. There is a main line railway station at Charlbury providing regular services to Oxford and London (Paddington).
