Description
This unique 1960s self-build house, known as "Mendota", is a hidden gem nestled in a picturesque village in Oxfordshire. With its Modernism Movement-inspired design, the property boasts over 2,700 square feet of living space, set amidst a stunning 1/3 acre landscaped plot. The house features vaulted rooms, oak parquet floors, and a "minstrel's gallery" with a delightful outlook over the gardens. The property has been owned by the same family since its construction in the 1960s and has been lovingly maintained, with solar panels already installed. While it requires updating, the potential for renovation is vast, allowing the new owner to put their own stamp on the property. The house is situated in a peaceful and private setting, with extensive garaging and workshops beneath, and is within easy reach of Oxford and London. With its unique character and stunning surroundings, "Mendota" is a truly special property that offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of history.
