The Ride, Tubney Wood, Abingdon, OX13

A distinguished 1980s-built detached residence of considerable charm, enjoying glorious westerly-facing gardens and a wonderfully private setting within an exclusive no-through lane of just eight individual homes.

Deceptively spacious, the property offers far more accommodation than its attractive façade might suggest, extending to well-balanced and generously proportioned rooms throughout. The arrangement of space has been carefully considered to provide exceptional versatility for modern family life, with excellent potential for enlargement or reconfiguration (subject to the necessary planning consents), as demonstrated by neighbouring properties.

The gardens are undoubtedly a defining feature. Approached via a gated driveway providing ample parking, the property also benefits from an additional side driveway with double-width parking and access to an impressive, detached quadruple garage. The westerly aspect ensures superb afternoon and evening light across the expansive lawn, which is interspersed with mature fruit trees. Beyond, gated access leads to a lightly wooded garden area, opening directly onto neighbouring woodland. A rare and enchanting backdrop offering privacy, seclusion and a true sense of retreat! For those with sporting interests, Frilford Heath Golf Club is within two miles, widely regarded as one of the county’s premier golfing destinations, offering three outstanding championship courses.

The property lies approximately five miles south of Oxford and four miles west of Abingdon-on-Thames, providing the perfect balance between countryside tranquillity and city accessibility. Communications are excellent, with the nearby A420 offering direct access into Oxford, while the A34 connects northbound to the M40 and southbound to the M4. The area is particularly well served by a number of highly regarded schools including The Manor Preparatory School, Abingdon School, St Helen and St Katharine and Our Lady's Abingdon in Abingdon itself, together with Cothill House and Chandlings Prep nearby. Lastly, Didcot Parkway provides swift connections to London Paddington in as little as 36 minutes which ideal for the commuter seeking a refined Oxfordshire lifestyle without compromise.
