Wheatlands is a beautifully presented and pretty period house, in a private setting near the popular villages of Great and Little Tew. The house sits well in its grounds, in an elevated position, overlooking a pond, close to the source of the river Dorn. The house has a good flow and excellent family accommodation spread over three floors complemented by a recently updated kitchen and ensuite bathroom. Planning permission was granted in 2010 to re-configure the layout and extend the house considerably (expired) and in 2024 for conversion of the party barn/treble garage into two holiday cottages. (ref 24/00177/FUL)

This property has 12.88 acres of land.

The house is approached via a quarter of a mile long drive, leading to plenty of parking where there is an EV charging point. The lovely gardens surround the house with formal and informal lawns, a vegetable garden and a wide south facing terrace ideal for outside dining and entertaining. There are five paddocks, two field shelters and areas of woodland. The pond is fed by the river Dorn. The house has useful outbuildings including a 'party barn', previously a treble garage. As per this site plan there is a public footpath running down the drive and, close to the beginning of the drive, private access to some adjoining land.
