The main entrance opens into a large hallway with a beautiful staircase and high ceilings exuding character and elegance. The reception hall leads to all principal reception rooms plus a cloakroom/WC. The current owners have tastefully extended the house, adding a magnificent triple aspect kitchen/diner with underfloor heating, vaulted ceiling and rooflights creating an abundance of light and space. This is the heart of the home that can be enjoyed year-round: in summer bifold doors open onto the terrace; in winter a contemporary Barbas fireplace warms the 'snug'. The kitchen includes generous built-in storage and a useful side door for supermarket deliveries.
On the ground floor the layout of the house has been remodelled to create a large formal reception featuring original fireplaces and library with French doors onto the veranda. Beyond the formal reception areas a side wing with its own separate entrance opens into a utility/ boot room leading to a self-contained annexe that can be used as guest or staff accommodation (kitchen, shower room, bedroom).
A wide staircase leads to two further floors. To the first floor is a light and airy landing (currently used as a study area), four bedrooms and two bathrooms. Two of these bedrooms directly access a charming balcony with lovely south-facing views over the grounds. The master bedroom (with ensuite bathroom and extensive built-in storage) shares these delightful garden views. A further bedroom, shower room and study can be found on the second floor.
In addition to the main house there are multiple outbuildings on the property including a separate studio, a store room, and a greenhouse..
To the front of the property is a large gravelled driveway with a generous oak-framed double carport incorporating bicycle and log storage. To the rear is a delightful mature landscaped garden with low-maintenance perennial herbaceous borders, an orchard, a fruit cage/ vegetable patch and a private area of ancient woodland. The grounds feature notable specimen trees including Cedar of Lebanon, Catalpa, veteran oak and copper beech..
As well as being close to Oxford, with easy access to the city center (Park & Ride c. 2.1 miles, bus routes within half a mile), Blythewood is well positioned for communications to London, Heathrow (via the A34 ring road/M40) and the national motorway network. Oxford Parkway, Oxford Centre and Didcot mainline stations are all within easy reach with fast services to London Marylebone and Paddington. Oxford and Abingdon provide major supermarkets, shopping, recreational and sports facilities. There is an excellent choice of schools in the area including Chandlings, The Manor, St Helen's and St Katharine's, Magdalen College School, Radley College, Cothill, Abingdon School, Headington School, St Edward's, St Hugh's, Oxford High School and The Dragon..
