Description

Nestled in sought-after Boars Hill, this detached Arts & Crafts home, dating from the early 1900s, offers a rare opportunity to acquire a period property in a peaceful semi-rural setting, just 10 minutes from Oxford city centre. Set within private gardens and woodland approaching an acre, the house extends to approximately 2,200 sq ft, with five bedrooms and two bathrooms. Offered with no onward chain, it blends period character with modern living and offers excellent scope for extension (STPP).

The ground floor offers a versatile and well-balanced layout, with a strong sense of space and natural light throughout. A ground-floor bedroom, served by a separate shower room, provides ideal accommodation for guests or multi-generational living. At the heart of the home is an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and family space, perfectly suited to both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen is fitted with granite worktops and a range of integrated Miele appliances, including a dishwasher, hob, oven and combination microwave oven, along with an American-style fridge/freezer. A walk-in pantry and separate utility room add further practicality. The sitting room offers a more formal yet inviting space, centred around an open fireplace.

The first floor comprises four bedrooms. The principal bedroom features a dressing room with built-in wardrobes, which could be reconfigured to create an additional bedroom if required. The bedrooms are served by a family bathroom fitted with a four-piece suite, including a bath and separate shower.

Externally, the property is set within beautifully established and private gardens and grounds approaching an acre. A large raised terrace, accessed from both the kitchen/dining space and the sitting room, provides an ideal setting for al fresco dining and entertaining. Mature planting, areas of woodland and a charming forest school setting create a wonderful environment for both children and adults alike. The property further benefits from a double garage and ample driveway parking, discreetly positioned behind newly installed gates.

Boars Hill is renowned for its peaceful setting and strong sense of community. Old Boars Hill, just moments away, offers breathtaking views across the dreaming spires of Oxford and beyond, along with exceptional countryside walks right on your doorstep. For families, the location is ideally positioned for access to some of the country’s leading independent schools.

Furthermore, the property offers excellent potential for extension or further enhancement, subject to the necessary planning permissions, allowing future owners to tailor the house to their own requirements. This is more than just a home; it represents a rare opportunity to enjoy a unique lifestyle in one of Oxford’s most sought-after locations.
