Description

Nestled at the end of a private lane, this detached family home sits on approximately 2.3 acres of established gardens and grounds, offering a serene backdrop with notable privacy. The property boasts direct access to the C.S. Lewis Nature Reserve, adding a unique element to its appeal—perfect for nature enthusiasts and those who appreciate tranquil surroundings while still being near key transport links to Oxford and major routes like the A40 and M40 for easy commuting. With over 2,600 sq. ft. of living space, this residence presents a significant opportunity for renovation or redevelopment that aligns with modern living expectations (subject to planning approvals). The current layout features an inviting entrance hall leading to multiple reception areas, including a formal dining room that opens onto the side garden through French doors. The sizable kitchen is complemented by a separate utility room, providing functional spaces for everyday family life. Upstairs, the home includes five spacious bedrooms, two of which are equipped with en suite bathrooms, along with a family bathroom servicing the remaining rooms. This configuration offers flexibility for both families and investors looking to enhance property value through updates or remodelling efforts. The expansive gardens not only encompass the home but also provide seamless integration with the adjacent C.S. Lewis Nature Reserve—a landscape rich in history and natural beauty that has inspired many. With existing architect plans drawn up by the current owners aimed at a comprehensive remodel and necessary wildlife surveys already conducted, this property is poised for someone with vision to transform it into a bespoke country retreat while enjoying convenient access to urban amenities in Oxford and London.
