About this property

A poised and finely-proportioned four-bedroom Grade II listed Georgian townhouse occupying a prime position overlooking the Market Square in the heart of Bicester. Built in around 1810 in pale Cotswold limestone and extending to approximately 188 square metres over three storeys, the property combines original period elegance with a sympathetic and recent contemporary refresh. A stone-arched fanlit front door opens to a wide hallway with restored stone flagstones and the original cantilevered limestone staircase. A formal drawing room sits to the front, finished in Farrow & Ball Hague Blue with restored fluted panelling, an antique fireplace and tall twelve-pane sash windows overlooking the square. To the rear, a beautiful double-height kitchen-dining room sits in a contemporary extension under a lantern rooflight, fitted with hand-painted timber cabinetry in soft mushroom, polished oak worktops, an integrated wine cabinet and a substantial central island. A small study and cloakroom complete the ground floor. The first floor offers a generous principal bedroom suite, a second double bedroom and a marble-clad family bathroom. Two further bedrooms occupy the second floor, served by a contemporary shower room. Outside, the small walled rear courtyard is paved with reclaimed limestone slabs, with raised planters and a wisteria trained along the back wall. Permit parking immediately adjacent. Freehold, council tax band G, EPC E. Grade II listed — within Bicester central conservation area.
