5 bedroom detached house for sale

Appealing home in enviable location with glorious gardens and views

Description

A striking split level house which provides very light, nicely proportioned and flexible accommodation. With potentially five bedrooms, it will suit families of all ages, and there is also ample potential to extend further. The centrepiece is the triple aspect sitting room, with high ceiling, large windows and two balconies with glorious views over the gardens. The dining room has windows overlooking the rear and, opening to the dual aspect kitchen, it is ideal for entertaining and family gatherings. There is also a large study, with potential as a bedroom. There are three bedrooms and a bathroom on the upper floor and, on the lower ground floor, is a large additional reception room with a rear hall leading to a useful utility area, shower room and two large storage cupboards. This lower ground floor has the great possibility of being used as a bedroom/annexe.

The mature gardens are particularly appealing. The driveway to the front provides extensive parking, and the gardens are stocked with trees, plants and shrubs. To the rear, a split level terrace, ideal for al fresco dining, overlooks the sloping west facing garden, which is laid to lawns, interspersed with mature trees, plants and shrubs, and with two ponds, and attractive views beyond. The large garage is to the side and is currently used as a workshop and gym space.

Lying in an elevated position above the Vale of the White Horse, it enjoys wonderful walks and some of the best views of the city and its spires.

Boars Hill is also well located for an excellent range of state and independent schools for all ages in Oxford and Abingdon. The nearby A34 gives access to the M4 (J13) to the south and the M40 (J9) to the north. Regular train services run either from Didcot, Oxford or Oxford Parkway. For those wishing to enjoy the immediate surroundings, there are lovely walks along footpaths and bridleways into Bagley Wood and woodland owned by the Oxford Preservation Trust.
