Location

Limelight is a substantial plot that is formed in the lower, southern grounds of the host property 'Reeds'. Reeds a large Edwardian mansion was once owned by Sir Goldsworthy Gurney who was a renowned inventor known for his invention of 'Limelight', the use of which led to the still commonly used expression, 'in the Limelight'.

The plot is stream bordered on one side and the rest is mature existing hedge boundaries. There will be an initial shared, sweeping gravel driveway with the host property, then a new driveway and defining hedge is to be formed by the purchaser down the eastern boundary of Reeds.

To the south and west side of Limelight are agricultural fields, and to the East and North are the domestic gardens of both Reeds and Wychwood Lodge, both of which are homes of distinction in their own right.
