5 bedroom property for sale in Sheep Street, Charlbury, Chipping Norton
Price:
£1,750,000
Summary:
New 6 miles
Location:
Charlbury, Oxon
Description:
A rare opportunity to acquire a sizable Cotswold stone residence - a combination of the original Farmhouse and of an adjacent Shop and Barn, all within the picturesque and well-connected village of Charlbury. Householder Permitted Development Rights enable the Owner to create at least two parking places in the Lower Garden (Please see www. ohllimited. co. uk for correspondence with West Oxfordshire District Council) The Old Farmhouse was, in the past, the residence of Dr Charles Lane, son of the iconoclastic biologist and Nature Conservationist the Hon. Dr Miriam Rothschild OBE, DBE, FRS. Dr Lane – the current owner – is the co-inventor with Drs Marbaix and Gurdon of the much used “exogenous m RNA expression technology” (think Covid Vaccines! ). Charles resided at the Old Farmhouse with noted medical research worker and expert on sepsis Dr Carmen Wheatley. Carmen with the help of gardening expert Robin Lane-Fox designed the pleasing two tiered garden. The lack of a larger green space can perhaps be assuaged by the purchase of a few acres of land at nearby Hill Farm Taston, also owned by this branch of the Rothschild family. One can walk through charming countryside from the Old Farmhouse to Hill Farm, Taston – a distance of only circa 1.6 miles. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder but Hill Farm lays claim to being a most charming element of the Cotswold Escarpment. The Old Farmhouse itself seems to have been built in the late 18th Century or early 19th Century, as was the adjacent and presumably related barn. The ground floor of the barn was converted into a shop, in recent times bearing the name “Caigers”, in honour of the owner, Mr Caiger – by repute an allegedly skilled and daring World War II fighter pilot. Caigers now enjoys permission for office use, and enjoys both an internal access and an access out to the public highway, thus out on to Sheep Street. Remodelling and extension of the property occurred, and at a somewhat leisurely. Still available at ListedBuy!
