Red Copse Lane, Boars Hill, OX1

Dymock is situated in a prime setting on a prestigious private road, adjacent to Oxford Preservation Trust land. The property commands delightful views over its gardens and grounds as well as open fields beyond the private woodland. This individually designed and stone built home was originally constructed in 1958 and was purchased by the current family in 1962. They have lovingly maintained many of the original architectural features the property has to offer. However, there is ample scope to further extend and remodel the property if required, subject to the necessary consents. The highlights of the property are certainly its charming and flexible living space and the well-established gardens, grounds and private woodland, which offer immense seclusion and privacy from neighbouring properties. The feeling is distinctly rural, with green countryside views all around, and yet the house is just 4 miles from Oxford city centre.
The accommodation amounts to over 3000 sq ft across two floors, with the wide variety of reception rooms making the home an excellent choice for growing families with ample space for both formal entertaining and informal family occasions. The ground floor is accessed via a welcoming entrance hall with cloakroom, leading through to a family room/study and adjoining conservatory with lovely views over the front garden. There is a spacious triple -aspect sitting room with sliding doors out to the terrace, a formal dining room and a fully fitted kitchen breakfast room with spacious larder. On the first floor is the principal bedroom benefitting from fitted wardrobes and en suite bathroom. There are three further bedrooms, all of which feature built-in storage, as well as a family bathroom and separate wc.
