This exceptional North Oxford house was built in 2000/2001 to provide a combination of classic North Oxford family living with a contemporary layout and modern facilities.
The house is complemented by a landscaped garden. Internally, the elegant accommodation has been beautifully designed with high ceilings throughout, stained glass and sash windows and the use of space giving the house a light and airy feel. Providing a welcoming entrance to the house is the reception hall with a large wide hand turned oak staircase rising to the galleried landing.
Opening from the hall are the principal reception rooms all using ’parliament’ hinges making for excellent entertaining space. The large drawing room is impressive with a magnificent stone fireplace and access to the orangery. The study/playroom, with large bay window to the front of the house, has a central fireplace.
The kitchen/family dining room is a great space with French doors opening onto a generous outdoor eating area. The fitted traditional kitchen has integrated appliances including two Miele fridge and freezers, a two oven gas fired Aga, Gaggenau oven, griddle, steamer, gas hob and extractor. Located off the kitchen are the domestic offices. The plant room and laundry room, staff flat, cellar and games room are all located on the lower ground floor.
Access to the first floor is via the wide staircase. Arranged on the first floor are three en-suite bedrooms, including the principal bedroom which has views over the garden, and a dressing room leading through to the ensuite bathroom. The second floor is excellent family accommodation. It provides four further bedrooms and a family bathroom into the attractive front turret. There is plumbing for a second bathroom.
To the front of the house is a large gravelled area providing parking for several vehicles and it also has a number of well stocked flower and shrub borders. The orangery, dining room and kitchen all open to the rear garden. The garden is west facing and principally laid to lawn with a large York Stone terrace.
