Description:
A fine grade II listed Georgian village house occupying an attractive village setting below the Chiltern escarpment with excellent access to the M.40. The Old Vicarage has a painted brick facade under a tiled roof and comprises the major part of this house which is thought to have been built in about 1730. The rear wing of the property is now in separate ownership. The house is mentioned in Pevsner's Oxfordshire Buildings of England and the Shell guide. The interior has many attractive features including sash windows, shutters, panelling, elm boarded floors and original fireplaces. There is a substantial attic floor and well maintained vaulted cellar with wine bins. Recent improvements to the house include a south facing conservatory, oak kitchen cabinets with granite worktops and an electric Aga. Listed building consent has been granted to re-instate the garage to an additonal reception room and provide a new link to the house.

Location:
Lewknor is a particularly lovely village situated at the foot of the Chiltern Hills and within a designated conservation area. There are beautiful walks in all directions and the area is popular with ramblers and bird watchers. The village has a public house and a successful primary school. The town of Watlington is only two and a half miles distant while the proximity of the M.40 provides easy access to the Midlands, London and the regional business centres of Oxford and High Wycombe. The bus stop for the Oxford Tube coach service, operating between London and Oxford, is within 5 minutes walk of the property.
