A superb modern home set in a mature rural setting, which once formed part of Oakley Park, a former country estate. In recent years the house has been thoroughly refurbished and in-part re-built with an oak frame to create a more contemporary and energy-efficient home with exceptional spaces.

The accommodation most notably features a superb kitchen, breakfast and dining room spanning approximately 42 ft. The impressive kitchen benefits from large twin islands, high quality cabinets and appliances, a wood-burning stove, and doors leading out to the formal gardens. The generous sitting room and study have high vaulted ceilings, a bespoke lighting system, and a striking steel and glass staircase. There are five bedrooms and three bathrooms, which includes the luxurious principal bedroom, dressing room and en-suite shower.

The finish throughout is to an exceptionally high standard, with stone flooring across the ground floor, kitchen, utility and dressing room cabinetry from Ewan House of Cirencester and Velfac windows and doors. Other benefits include underfloor heating throughout powered by a ground source heat pump; Automated ventilation system; Sonos throughout to Bowers and Wilkins and Monitor speakers; Commercial-grade WiFi within the house and garden as well as Cat6 ethernet connections throughout; Integrated home automation system from Control4; The house is served by a 1gb fibre broadband connection, ideal for home working.

School House is set in 22 acres comprising 1.5 acres of curtilage and formal gardens, 7 acres of paddocks/pasture, and 13.5 acres of mature and Semi-mature woodlands. The house is approached over a gravel driveway leading to a turning area to the front of the house. Surrounding the house are formal and informal areas of lawn, perennial herbaceous borders, and a variety of mature trees interspersed throughout the garden, a vegetable garden with a poly-tunnel, and wildflower meadow, and a cut flower garden. Other features include stabling for three horses, a workshop, paved terrace, hot-tub, and an oak-framed pavilion with a pizza oven. There is a CCTV system covering the house and stables. The house is fully alarmed and integrated with the home automation system.


School House is located in Frilford Heath, within the grounds of Oakley Park a former large country estate. It is a highly sought after location well known for it's proximity to Frilford Heath Golf Club, and it is well placed for quick access into nearby market towns and the city of Oxford. Local facilities are excellent, including a local pub within walking distance of the house, and further shopping facilities including Waitrose and Tesco Supermarkets in nearby Abingdon.

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s

Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
