Hamels Lane, Boars Hill, Oxford, OX1

Substantial home of character in this enviable location.

Description

Built in the early 1900s in the ‘Arts & Crafts’ style, this is an appealing house of character. Arranged over two floors, it has a practical and flexible layout making it suitable for families of all ages. The principal receptions include the large, welcoming drawing room with bay window and door opening to the rear garden. There is a separate, dual aspect sitting room with fitted book shelving, and a dining room with bay window overlooking the rear garden. The kitchen/breakfast room provides a focus for family gatherings and entertaining, and leads through to the useful boot room, utility room and second cloakroom.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom has a large dressing room and en suite shower room, and there are four further bedrooms, together with the family bathroom and an additional shower room.

To the front, an extensive gravelled area provides ample parking for cars and leads to the garaging. The attractive, mature gardens surround the property and are laid to lawn, interspersed with trees, flowers and shrubs. There is a summerhouse in one corner of the garden, and is the perfect setting for use as a garden studio, and there is also a timber shed tucked away and a greenhouse.
