This exceptional property presents an outstanding opportunity for a discerning buyer. Bordering Frilford Heath Golf Club, the beautiful, mature plot has 100 metres of road frontage with several redeveloped homes nearby. Although dated, the house is in very good condition with large rooms throughout.

ACCOMMODATION 

Kirkstone is cleverly laid out with the bedrooms to one side and the extensive reception space to the other, facing south. Additionally, there’s significant utility, garage and workshop space.

The wide entry hall has a large coat cupboard and opens on to the 3 bedrooms, all with built-in storage, and family bathroom.

At the end of the hallway, a wide entrance leads to the reception space; dining area with space to seat 12. To the left is the large living room. This is triple aspect with an open fireplace and doors onto the patio and garden beyond.

To the right is the kitchen/breakfast room. The kitchen units wrap-around 3 sides with a view to the front. The breakfast area is double aspect with views over the garden and space to seat 8.

Just off the kitchen there’s a utility room and w.c. This in turns joins the double garage, workshop and shed, providing plenty of space for cars, tools and garden storage.

Upstairs there’s a partly converted loft room which would make an ideal office.



GARDENS

The gardens are the pièce de resistance of Kirkstone. Extending to 0.65 acres, the back garden is mostly laid to lawn with a large patio area, pond, mature trees and shrubs offering privacy from the road and neighbouring houses.

There is plenty of space here to entertain, play and enjoy the stunning sunsets. The garden borders Frilford Heath Golf Club, very convenient for avid golfers looking to make the most of having a highly rated golf course on the doorstep.



SELLER INSIGHT

I was brought up in this house and have great memories of climbing trees, cycling round the woods and building dens. I just had to be home by dark! Tubney gave me a great love for the countryside, I’ve chosen to live in villages since as I wanted my children to have the same freedom, and you can’t beat the fresh air and community feel that comes with village life.

We’ve had a lot of parties here over the years, we even had a marquee up in the garden for my 21st with about 70 people. Extended family gatherings were often held here too, we had so much space to run around, it was perfect for the kids and just a really lovely setting for a summer BBQ.

There are quite a few children in the village so I had friends nearby, and in Abingdon where I went to school. I really enjoyed building things as a child so the workshop was well used, I was lucky to have it.

My Dad was the church warden at St Lawrence Church for 30 years so we attended a lot of events there. This is a really friendly community, people watch out for each other here.

Abingdon is very good for shopping; they have supermarkets, cinema, restaurants and DIY stores. Getting to Oxford is a piece of cake, buses go every 30 minutes from the end of the road. Locally, The white Hart in Fyfield is a very good gastro pub, and I really like The Greyhound in Bessels Leigh, I worked there as a teenager.

I was sat in the garden the other day for breakfast looking over the garden and had a lovely moment of nostalgia, it’s such a gorgeous garden, I’ll miss that. The house has been in the family for over 50 years, but it’s time to move on now. I’m looking forward to seeing how the new owners make this home their own, it has an awful lot of potential.
