Keen gardeners are invited to view a property with four acres of beautiful grounds.The gardens of Brook Cottage in Alkerton, near Banbury, have been transformed over the last four decades from original rough pasture.
The west-facing areas are divided into terraces, lawns, a pond, a gravel garden, flower beds, an orchard, stone walls and hedges.
Plants include rambling roses, bog and alpine plants plus more than 50 varieties of clematis. The result is so impressive, it is opened to the public once a year under the National Gardens Scheme.
The house is a three-storey, Grade II listed property on a hillside at the end of a lane with views over surrounding countryside.
Period features include high ceilings, open fireplaces, exposed timbers, flagstone floors, mullion windows and window seats.
On the ground floor is a kitchen/breakfast room, a dining room and a drawing room and there is a cellar.
The two upper floors include four bedrooms, a study and three bathrooms.
As well as the gardens, there are also tennis courts and a detached, self-contained annexe.
And it is a property with potential with agents saying it has enormous scope to be refurbished and extended.
