6 Morlands, East Hanney, OX12

Welcome to Two Hoots, a four-bedroom family home spanning over 2,700 sq ft in the desirable village of East Hanney.

Coming to the market for the first time in 25 years, this meticulously maintained, and thoughtfully extended residence combines countryside living with cutting-edge technology. The kitchen stands as a testament to modern luxury – newly renovated with sleek Miele appliances and striking quartz worktops that would inspire any home chef, while solar panels, a Tesla battery, ducted air conditioning and underfloor heating elevate this village home beyond the ordinary.

The private wrap-around plot offers multiple outdoor sanctuaries, including a cedar-covered hot tub retreat, stone-paved dining areas and morning coffee patios that capture the sun throughout the day.

Two Hoots offers the quintessential Oxfordshire lifestyle where neighbours become friends, countryside walks finish at award-winning pubs, and excellent transport links keep you connected to Oxford, London and beyond.

Welcome home

As you approach Two Hoots, the handsome red-brick façade with contemporary anthracite accents immediately catches your eye. Solar panels glint atop the roof, providing substantial energy savings throughout the year.

The generous driveway offers ample off-road parking for five vehicles, leading to a double garage with a modern roller door. Recently upgraded aluminium windows and seamless guttering frame the property.

Stepping through the front door, you're welcomed into a bright, airy entrance hall with an archway design and warm wooden flooring.

Family spaces

Step into the expansive living room where floor-to-ceiling windows capture streams of natural light and frame picturesque views of the grounds. Extended in 2009, this substantial space centres around a working fireplace that draws family and friends together on crisp winter evenings.

Smart Lightwave RF controls transform the atmosphere with a single tap­ – bright for family game nights or softly dimmed for weekend movie marathons. The generous proportions easily accommodate three substantial sofas with plenty of room to spare.

Along the hall, you’ll find the stunning kitchen, completed in 2020 as part of the current owners' vision for creating the perfect family and entertaining space.

A stunning island with engineered quartz worktops provides a stylish focal point and a practical workspace where hidden pop-up power units emerge upon touch.

Premium Miele appliances include a dishwasher, integrated fridge, microwave/combi oven and warming drawer, complemented by a practical Grohe boiling water tap.

Bifold doors on either side of this bright, airy space flood the room with natural light while skylights above draw your eye to the vaulted ceiling. Underfloor heating ensures year-round comfort, even during cold winter mornings.

Bespoke cabinetry includes a generous pantry area with abundant storage and deep drawers perfect for cookware and culinary essentials.

Whether hosting Christmas dinner with a towering tree twinkling in the corner (a cherished tradition for the current owners), summer gatherings that flow seamlessly to the garden, or simply enjoying morning coffee at the breakfast bar, this kitchen is hard to beat.

Where work meets play

Adjacent to the kitchen, the family room offers a perfect second entertainment area with large sliding glass doors that frame garden views and invite morning sunlight to spill across the floor. This versatile space works equally well as a casual dining area or relaxed TV lounge.

A connected study, with separate entrance, provides the ideal work-from-home environment with a practical dog flap and direct garden access when you need a moment of fresh air between Zoom calls. This space is perfect for muddy boots and wet coats after countryside rambles along East Hanney's network of walking paths, accessible on the doorstep.

The practical utility room features a butler's sink with a stylish sliding wooden top, creating additional counter space. With room for laundry appliances, large refrigerators and other necessary appliances.

A convenient downstairs WC completes this thoughtfully designed section of the home.

Upstairs at Two Hoots

Up the oak staircase, four bedrooms and the family bathroom spread across the landing where an airing cupboard with radiator provides ample room for towels and other items. All the bathrooms are served by mains pressure hot water tanks, situated in the downstairs boiler room, meaning long hot showers for everyone (even on busy mornings).

The principal suite makes an immediate impression with a sophisticated feature wall, room for a super king bed and exceptional natural light. During summer months, whisper-quiet ducted air conditioning creates a cool sanctuary, while an adjoining dressing room features handcrafted oak wardrobes with exceptional storage space.

Here you’ll elevate your daily routine with the ensuite’s therapeutic jacuzzi bath, invigorating walk-in shower and warming underfloor heating. We love the illuminated mirrors and premium Hans Grohe fixtures throughout.

The second bedroom also boasts ducted air conditioning, with elegant sage walls framing views across the village rooftops. Generous proportions accommodate a king bed and built-in wardrobes with plenty of storage. A generous ensuite bathroom also features a large walk-in shower.

Across the landing, the third bedroom includes the convenience of a private WC, while the fourth offers versatility for changing family needs – perhaps as a bedroom for younger family members, a second home office or creative hobby room.

The family bathroom completes the upper floor with a bath and shower, while a fully boarded and carpeted loft space above provides substantial additional storage.

The garden sanctuary

Step through any of the bifold doors onto the 0.76 acre plot and into a thoughtfully zoned garden that captures sun from dawn until dusk.

The expansive lawn is bordered by mature hedges that create natural privacy, while two porcelain-paved patios are designed for enjoying throughout the day from your morning coffee to evening gatherings that stretch long into twilight.

Beneath a custom cedar pagoda, you’ll find the hot tub bubbling invitingly, while a dedicated BBQ zone with room for the largest grill enthusiast's collection sits at the side of the house.

We love how versatile this garden is – there’s space for a fire pit, kitchen garden or greenhouse space, and even a resistance swimming pool. You’ll also find several outbuildings with practical storage space for bikes, garden equipment and outdoor furniture.

A separate boiler room housing a recently replaced mains gas boiler, twin mains-pressure hot water tanks and all the associated plumbing and controls is also accessed via the garden.

The East Hanney lifestyle

When you run out of milk at Two Hoots, it's a quick stroll to the village shop, where they'll know your name within a week. The award-winning Black Horse pub fills with neighbours on Friday evening, while the Plough at West Hanney and the Fox Inn at Denchworth are also firm favourites. A fabulous eat-in Indian restaurant – The Hanney Spice – is also located at West Hanney, within easy walking distance,

Parents appreciate how close St James Primary is, while local secondary schools like Abingdon and St Helen and St Katherine offer exceptional education options from reception to university. Weekend sports happen right in the village: tennis and cricket during the summer months, and there’s also a well-regarded golf course in nearby Frilford.

Oxford's colleges and restaurants sit just 30 minutes away, while London commuters (an hour from Didcot Parkway station) get the best of both worlds – weekday careers and weekend village tranquillity.
