Hunt House, Oakley Court, Benson, OX10

This substantial detached house occupies a private position of about 0.5 acres within Oakley Court, fronting onto the green with spectacular rural views over open fields and the beautiful valley beyond.

The accommodation is arranged over two floors. Stepping into the entrance hall, which connects all the principal rooms, there is an immediate feeling of light and space. The living room is split-level, creating a dining area and a separate sitting area around the open fireplace, with windows on three sides bringing in wonderful views and linking to the garden.

The kitchen is a particularly fine feature of the house. With its vaulted ceiling, this generous room features a luxurious fitted kitchen built around a central island. Beyond is the dining area with a wood-burning stove, and glazed bi-fold doors open out to the garden and terrace. Also on the ground floor are a family room, study, cloakroom, shower room, and a separate utility/boot room.

Upstairs, there are three bedroom suites, as well as a fourth and fifth bedroom and a family bathroom. The principal suite has floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the rural views, creating a spectacular room. All the bedrooms are generously proportioned and include built-in fitted wardrobes.

Hunt House stands in the middle of its plot. A private lane provides access to two separate driveways: the first in front of the house, and the second to the side, which leads to an additional parking area and garages. The garden and grounds are well maintained, mainly laid to lawn, with a large covered patio terrace leading out from both the living room and kitchen. The garden enjoys a sunny south-facing aspect, with zoned areas of planting designed to create privacy and make the most of the views across the fields and woodland beyond. There is also garaging and an attached gymnasium.
