4 bedroom detached house for sale

Detached four bedroom home with a large rear garden.

Description

Hollybank is a four bedroom detached home, located in the popular Oxfordshire village of Kidmore End. The property is believed to have been built in c.1928 and was originally two cottages. It has since been integrated into one home and also extended to provide a larger and versatile home.

Upon entering, the porch leads into the long entrance hall, which provides access to a cloakroom and a study which sits at the front of the house. The layout on the ground floor provides two separate reception rooms, including a large sitting room with a wood-burning stove.

The extended kitchen/dining room sits to the rear of the property and provides a great entertaining area with an open-plan layout. This light room gives a great view of the rear garden and has sliding patio doors onto the outdoor terrace.

On the first floor are four bedrooms and two bathrooms. The cottage has the original two staircases and can provide separate access to both sets of bedrooms and bathrooms. It is finished with a neutral décor and polished, wooden floorboards. A new gas central heating system was installed in September 2023 to improve the energy efficiency.

Outside
The property is set back from the main road and is accessed via a generous shingled driveway, with parking for multiple vehicles. The extensive rear garden is a particular feature of the home. The large garden is predominantly laid to lawn, with numerous mature trees, shrubbery and pretty borders.
