Islip Road, Bletchingdon, OX5

This Cotswold stone detached house has been thoughtfully enhanced to create a characterful residence that effortlessly combines period charm with the comforts and practicality of modern living.

Situated within the popular Oxfordshire village of Bletchingdon, which is between Oxford and Bicester, the property was comprehensively extended and modernised in 2012 to an architect-designed scheme by Richard Merrett Architects, resulting in a layout that complements contemporary family life while respecting the heritage of the original house.

Original features have been carefully retained and enhanced, including exposed timber beams and solid panel shutters, with replacement aspects of the house having been carefully selected to remain in keeping with the character of the house.

An attractive entrance porch opens into a dining room perfect for day to day and formal dining where original period tiled flooring and a striking fireplace provide a focal point. There is also a spacious and comfortable living room with French doors opening to the side, a further reception room which would make an ideal family room, playroom or study, kitchen which has been beautifully designed with shaker-style cabinetry, including curved detail to wall and floor end panels that soften the overall aesthetic and lastly there is a utility/plant room. The first floor landing gives access to three generous double bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom.

An impressive garden is laid to lawn with gravelled pathway leading to the front door and to a paved seating area ideal for alfresco dining. A further courtyard is accessed off the utility room and is the ideal spot for morning coffee. Lastly, there is a gravelled surface to park a car which is approached via a shared access road.
