Outside, the property benefits from a large front driveway with ample parking for several vehicles. The current owners have the full ownership of the area at the front, with no charges for maintenance and shared responsibility for upkeep.

About Standlake 

Standlake is a charming, unassuming village located in the heart of the Oxfordshire countryside, offering a delightful blend of rural tranquility and community spirit. Situated about 10 miles west of Oxford, Standlake is surrounded by picturesque fields, meadows, and the gently flowing waters of the River Thames, which winds its way through the village, adding to the serene ambiance of the area.

The village itself is a peaceful tapestry of traditional stone cottages, timber-framed homes, and more modern dwellings, all set against the backdrop of green pastures and ancient woodlands. Standlake retains much of its historical character, with St. Giles' Church, a beautiful Grade I listed building, standing as a central landmark in the village. Its origins can be traced back to the 12th century, and its striking spire is visible for miles around, a testament to the enduring presence of the village through centuries.

A defining feature of Standlake is its proximity to the nearby countryside and wetlands, including the Oxfordshire Wildlife Trust’s Standlake Common Nature Reserve, a haven for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts. The reserve, with its lush reedbeds, lakes, and wildflower meadows, is home to a diverse array of wildlife and provides peaceful walking trails where visitors can immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the area.

Despite its rural feel, Standlake is a well-connected village, offering easy access to nearby towns and cities while maintaining a strong sense of local identity. The village boasts a close-knit community with a range of amenities, including a primary school, local shop, and pub, providing a warm welcome to residents and visitors alike.

With its rich history, beautiful natural surroundings, and relaxed pace of life, Standlake is a quintessential Oxfordshire village, offering an authentic slice of country living just a stone’s throw from the cultural vibrancy of Oxford. Whether you’re exploring its historic streets, enjoying the peaceful riverbanks, or simply soaking in the natural beauty of the area, Standlake captures the essence of rural life in Oxfordshire.
