Ashworth House - Leafield near Charlbury

Ashworth House is a hidden delight, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. When you arrive, the property appears as an unassuming country cottage but once inside you are greeted by spacious rooms, breathtaking views, contemporary decor and beautiful finishing touches. A great deal of love has gone into the property you see today and you will cherish your time here.

Each room at Ashworth House has its own personality, no less the expansive open plan kitchen/dining area which has a potted tree at its centre. With skylights above and windows perfectly framing the sublime garden views this room is filled with light and is the heart of the home. Made for celebrations there is space to mingle while meals are prepared, perhaps by a private chef, opening the French doors to sip wine in the garden. Two living rooms give you space to relax and unwind with your feet up in front of the wood burning stove. Choose the drawing room and retreat from the modern world, enjoying a good book, or watch the latest blockbuster in the sitting room on the large smart TV. With a handy boot room/utility, Ashworth House has everything you could possibly need. At the end of the day picking your favourite bedroom is a challenging affair with an emperor four poster, double bedrooms full of charm and twin rooms hidden on the second floor.

Outside, the garden is the cherry on the cake. With a lawn stretching out to the views beyond, this is a fabulous spot for a picnic, to play with the children and to give the dog some freedom. Grill up a feast on the BBQ enjoying these peaceful surroundings. There is off road parking for four cars with two end-to-end in the open garage and additional spaces on the drive.
