Summerhill Road, Oxford, Oxfordshire, OX2

A substantial detached residence of over 4,300 sq ft, positioned in a prime North Oxford setting, within easy reach of Summertown.

Designed and built as a private home by award-winning developer Robin Swailes, the house offers a level of specification and build quality rarely found in the open market. Carefully maintained and refined over time, it provides a highly functional and well-balanced family home.

Arranged across four floors, with a fully integrated lower ground level including cinema, gym and study, the house combines architectural clarity with long-term performance.

The Georgian-inspired home is arranged across four floors and designed to provide both flexibility and clarity of space. The entrance hall creates an immediate sense of arrival, with a raised stone threshold and carefully balanced proportions, centred around a sculptural Portland stone staircase.
Featuring a bespoke wrought iron balustrade of interlocking geometric form, the staircase rises through the house as a defining architectural element, establishing a strong sense of volume, light and continuity.

The ground floor is centred around a generous kitchen, dining and family space, with full-width glazing opening directly onto the garden, allowing the interior and exterior to function as a single environment. A separate sitting room provides a more formal and private setting.
The lower ground floor is fully integrated into the main accommodation and designed as a dedicated lifestyle level, comprising a cinema room, gym, study and utility space. This floor significantly enhances the functionality of the house, allowing it to support work, leisure and day-to-day living without compromise.

Bedroom accommodation is arranged across the upper floors. The principal suite incorporates a dressing room and en-suite bathroom, while additional bedrooms are well proportioned and supported by further bathrooms and dressing areas, offering flexibility for family life or guests.

The house has been carefully engineered for long-term comfort, quietness and efficiency, including zoned underfloor heating, mechanical ventilation with heat recovery for the cinema and study, and solid beam and block construction, providing both thermal performance and excellent acoustic separation.

Externally, the property benefits from a landscaped garden designed for ease of maintenance and outdoor living, including a dedicated barbecue area, together with a garage and off-street parking with a rotating turntable.
