Property Description
A rare opportunity to stay in a unique former granary to a watermill, part of which dates back to the 1600s. This apartment, with its own private entrance, has been lovingly converted into industrial-designed accommodation set over three floors, with the bedroom being in the loft. The discreet owners, who live next door, have spent time restoring and showing many of the original features including exposed brick and beams throughout. They have finished it off with lightshades from a local artisan and rustic industrial furniture to be in keeping with the property. Cuxham is pretty village just 1½ miles from Watlington, an ancient south Oxfordshire market town sitting at the foot of the Chilterns and on the edge of the Vale of Oxford. It has also been the backdrop for scenes in a few episodes of “Midsummer Murders' and is a great area for birdwatchers to spot red kites. There are many other nearby towns to visit including Dorchester, a pretty village with an abbey; Thame, a typical English market town; Wallingford, home of Agatha Christie; and Henley-on-Thames, a 12th-century market town made internationally famous for its rowing regatta. The historic university city of Oxford is within 15 miles. There is plenty more to do and see in the area including Greys Court (National Trust), Nuffield Place, Basildon Park, Dorchester Abbey, Harcourt Arboretum, the Earth Trust Centre, the museum of the Aston Martin Heritage Trust and Wittenham Clumps for stunning panoramic views of south Oxfordshire. Shop 1½ miles, pub and restaurant 100 yards.
