About this property

A substantial and characterful family home set within generous, mature gardens in the heart of one of Oxfordshire’s most sought‑after village settings.

The accommodation flows effortlessly, providing adaptable living spaces suited to both everyday family life and entertaining, with attractive outlooks over the gardens from many principal rooms.
At the heart of the home lies the open‑plan kitchen, dining and family area, beautifully connected to the garden through wide glazing and sliding /French‑style doors. The kitchen itself is fitted with traditional cabinetry centred around a generous island, providing an informal gathering point ideal for family life and entertaining. There is ample room for both dining and relaxed seating, enhanced by excellent natural light and garden views. The principal sitting and reception rooms offer more traditional spaces, each with their own character and charm. Features include exposed beams, all contributing to the home’s welcoming atmosphere. These rooms are ideal for quieter evenings, working from home or flexible family use.
The property also includes a beautifully appointed study featuring an elegant period fireplace, bespoke fitted shelving and a charming outlook through plantation shutters, creating a refined and inviting space for working, reading or relaxing. A separate dining room provides an elegant space for more formal occasions, while additional ancillary areas on the ground floor allow for excellent storage and practicality.
Arranged over the first floor, the bedroom accommodation is both generous and versatile. The principal bedroom benefits from a calm outlook and comfortable proportions with an en-suite bathroom. Three further bedrooms are well‑balanced and filled with light, making them suitable for family members, guests or home‑working arrangements with built in cupboards in bedroom 3.
There is an additional en-suite shower room and a family bathroom. Bathrooms and shower rooms are thoughtfully placed and finished in a contemporary style. Accessed from a second staircase there is a fifth bedroom which also benefits from its own en-suite shower room.

Predominantly laid to lawn and bordered by mature hedging, trees and planting, the garden offers both open areas and more secluded corners, ideal for outdoor dining, recreation or quiet enjoyment
including a well with water pump feeding all three garden taps. The sense of privacy is enhanced by the depth of the plot and the natural screening, while the house itself enjoys attractive views across the grounds. There is also private driveway parking, two sheds and a greenhouse providing practicality to match the home’s charm.
