Waterperry, Oxford, OX33

A characterful country home, set within a no-through village, offered for sale with a stunning mature garden, a beautifully appointed garden office, and a wealth of thoughtful spaces styled and curated to create an exquisite home.

From the moment you arrive, the appeal of this home is immediately apparent: the stone-and-brick façade, generous gravel driveway with parking for three cars, and double garage all make a lasting first impression.

Inside, the ground floor benefits from a wonderful kitchen and dining room - the social heart of the home. Grey shaker cabinetry pairs with oak worktops, integrated Bosch appliances, and a large central island. Exposed oak beams, a wood-burning stove set into an original brick fireplace, and bifold doors opening directly onto the rear terrace complete the room. There is also a separate sitting room with vaulted ceilings flooding the space with light, a second woodburner, and bifold doors framing the garden. A cloakroom and utility room complete the ground-floor accommodation.

Upstairs are three generous double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is complemented by bespoke fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower room. A second double benefits from charming character details, including an original cast-iron fireplace. A family bathroom serves the upper floor.

The garden is one of the biggest highlights of the home. Generous in scale and beautifully planted over many years, it unfolds across a series of distinct spaces: a terrace for outdoor dining directly off the kitchen, a wide sweep of well-kept lawn, mature beds brimming with alliums, roses, and herbaceous planting, and a productive kitchen garden beyond. Mature trees frame the boundaries, lending a rarely found sense of privacy.

Occupying a prime position at the foot of the garden, the garden office is an outstanding addition. A cedar-clad studio with large windows on multiple aspects, ensuring the garden is ever-present, flooding the interior with natural light and greenery. It connects directly to the garden via its own deck and would equally suit use as a studio, therapy room, or creative space.

Waterperry is a small village set around seven miles east of Oxford. The village is known for its 20-acre Waterperry Gardens and benefits from excellent connectivity, with the M40 accessible at Junctions 8 or 8a, Oxford city centre approximately 20 minutes by car, and London around 50 miles distant. Oxford, Bicester, and Haddenham mainline stations provide fast services to London for those commuting further afield.

For schooling, the property falls within the catchment for Wheatley Park School, a well-regarded mixed academy situated five miles east of Oxford, while the proximity to Oxford itself opens up an exceptional range of independent options, including the Dragon School, Magdalen College School, Oxford High School, and Headington School, all within comfortable reach.
