Chinnor Road, Towersey, Thame, Oxfordshire, OX9

Welcome to Trail House, a fabulous detached family home tucked away on the outskirts of Towersey, surrounded by open fields and countryside. Electric gates open to the gravelled driveway, which leads to a double garage and extends beyond, providing plenty of parking, even space for a caravan, motorhome or even a horsebox if required.

This brick-built home is a one-off design finished with attractive grey cladding. It is one of only four properties on this road built by Christchurch Construction, and its unique design is a blend of modern elegance and practicality, making it ideally suited to family life and entertaining.


Come on in…
The entrance leads to a hallway with wooden flooring and a staircase that rises to the first floor, featuring a glass balustrade and light cascading down from the landing. The entire ground floor features underfloor heating, and there is a convenient downstairs WC and a storage cupboard.

To the right is a family room featuring a window that overlooks the front, ideal for a kids' TV area or playroom or, as it is currently used, a home gym.

Cross the hallway to the living room, a generously proportioned space with a bay window to the front and French doors opening up to a paved terrace area. The current owners have positioned the furniture in such a way that creates a divide between the formal living area and a quiet, snug, or reading area. There is a log burner to get cosy in front of during the winter months.

The heart of the home…
At the rear of the home is the kitchen, the real heart of the home. Light pours in from every angle; the dining table is positioned beneath a roof lantern, and there is a comfortable living area before bifold doors that open up onto the gardens.

Sleek, handleless units are fitted in the kitchen area, topped with crisp white worktops. Double Neff ovens are built in, and there is a hob with an integrated extractor. An integrated fridge freezer and dishwasher complete the appliances, ready to create gourmet dishes for the family. The central island provides additional workspace with low-level lighting and stool seating, perfect for socialising and enjoying a glass of wine from the drinks fridge while dinner is being prepared.

A separate utility room keeps the washing machine and tumble dryer out of the family space, as well as a door out to the garden.

Rest and relaxation…
Climb the stairs to the first floor, where light pours in through the Velux window and where you will find four fantastic bedrooms. The principal bedroom, at the rear of the property, is light-filled, with Velux windows and French doors that open up onto a Juliet balcony. Why not keep the curtains open and watch the sunset over the fields in the evening? There are built-in wardrobes to keep things nice and tidy. The en suite shower room completes this private, peaceful haven, away from the hustle and bustle of family life. There is a large double shower with a glass screen, a wash-hand basin in a vanity unit with two large drawers for storage and a WC. The Velux window gives a pleasant view as you get ready in the morning.

The three other bedrooms are all double-sized with neutral decor and lots of natural light, ensuring space for the whole family. Each bedroom also has built-in wardrobes.

The family bathroom is modern, tiled in white with underfloor heating, and there is a bath and a separate shower. The wash hand basin has a vanity unit for storage and a WC.

Gorgeous Gardens…
The sun-trap paved terrace wraps around the rear of the property and is the perfect spot for enjoying a peaceful morning coffee or an al fresco lunch. The lawn stretches out ahead of you with trees and Beech hedging for extra privacy, with open fields beyond. The boundaries are also all dog-proofed for your four-legged friend.
