Description
Sandy Lodge forms part of the venerable Headington Lodge, a Regency villa dating from circa 1830, itself developed from a late 18th-century farmhouse commissioned by the brewer Edward Tawney. The property evolved into a substantial country house with extensive gardens and outbuildings and briefly housed the newly founded Headington School in 1915. In 1920, the estate was subdivided into two residences, with Sandy Lodge occupying the western wing, accessed from The Croft. It has since remained a cherished private home within the historic setting of Old Headington.
This distinguished residence combines period elegance with refined practicality. The ground and lower ground floors are characterised by lofty ceilings and generous proportions, encompassing formal living and dining rooms, alongside a spacious kitchen/breakfast room with direct access to the secluded gardens, swimming pool, and ancillary outbuildings. The basement offers additional storage and a boiler room. The first floor is graced by a sumptuous master suite overlooking the gardens, complemented by two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The top floor accommodates three additional bedrooms, a study/bedroom, and a further bathroom, providing versatile accommodation for family and guests alike.
Set within one of Headington’s most desirable enclaves, Sandy Lodge is within easy walking distance of boutique shops, restaurants, pubs, and outstanding schools, whilst offering excellent connectivity to Oxford city centre and surrounding areas.
