Striking Summertown house in prime location.


Description

This striking Edwardian semi detached house was built in 1902 to a design by George Gardner. With a total floor area of 3386 sq ft arranged over three floors, plus a useful cellar, it is well configured for family living, and is complemented by landscaped, walled gardens, together with the rare attraction of extensive off street parking to the front and to the rear. The rooms are of elegant proportions, with the feeling of light and space enhanced by high ceilings, and the property has been modernised and extended in recent years to provide a stylish family home.

The welcoming entrance hall leads to the sitting room, with bay window to the front, and there is a separate study. The centrepiece of the house is the impressive kitchen/dining room. With a wide opening to the family room and windows and bifold doors leading to the terrace, it is ideal for entertaining and family gatherings. There is also a separate utility/laundry room and a cloakroom, and the cellar, which is around 242 sq ft, provides very useful storage. On the first floor are four bedrooms, a bathroom and shower room and, on the second floor, are two further large bedrooms, together with two en suite shower rooms.

The landscaped gardens are an attractive feature. The gravelled area to the front provides parking, a rarity in this part of Oxford, and there is a large flowerbed and secure bike storage box. A raised terrace (with storage beneath) immediately to the rear provides a perfect al fresco dining area, with steps leading down to the garden which is laid to a shaped, low maintenance, artificial lawn. The surrounding borders are stocked with maturing trees, flowers and shrubs. Beyond the lawn is a further raised paved dining/entertaining area and, to the rear, there is the added attraction of additional extensive parking, with rear vehicular access on to Marston Ferry Road.
