Vendor comment

"The location of this property is hard to beat as it
feels like being in a country house once inside and looks out over a large, mature, south-facing garden and
Shotover Country Park, while benefiting from immediate connections to all major
routes into and out of Oxford. It is a 5-mins walk to the Thornhill Park and
Ride offering frequent buses to London and to Heathrow and Gatwick airports.
There is a bus stop within viewing distance from the end of the driveway with
regular buses into Oxford and a 5 minute drive to the John Radcliffe Hospital
and Headington shops. Some of the best state and independent schools in Oxford
are within cycling distance with easy access to cycling pathways into the
centre Oxford. We bought this house because of its location and the sense of
light and space in every room; the high ceilings and large windows that look on
to a beautiful garden that is filled with colour throughout the year.
Previously landscaped with a pond and large rockery and low growing maple
trees, it is easy to maintain, and includes a small orchard bursting with fruit
in September. Each of the five bedrooms is a double, two of which have
unusually large ensuite bathrooms. All three full bathrooms upstairs have been
recently refitted. The kitchen has also been completely renovated and
modernised with long granite work surfaces and fitted cupboards. The downstairs
has an office space with fitted shelves for a library as well as an enormous
lounge that flows into the dining room, which is ideal for entertaining."
