An exceptional four-bedroom detached period residence, occupying a generous plot of just under a quarter of an acre on the highly sought-after Cumnor Hill. Beautifully enhanced by the current owners, this impressive home seamlessly combines the charm of its period origins with tasteful contemporary improvements, creating an outstanding family home in one of Oxford's most desirable locations.
Approached via a long private driveway of approximately 35 metres and set amongst mature trees, the property enjoys a wonderful sense of privacy with a beautifully maintained, park-like rear garden. The home has been thoughtfully improved throughout and now benefits from updated shower room facilities, attractive flooring, tasteful redecoration and well-considered enhancements, while its handsome external elevations and period character remain very much intact.
The spacious and welcoming entrance hall provides access to the principal reception rooms. At the heart of the home is the generous kitchen/breakfast room, offering ample storage, integrated appliances and plenty of space for family dining. French doors open directly onto the rear terrace, creating an ideal space for indoor-outdoor living and entertaining.
The elegant dual-aspect dining room enjoys views across the front gardens and opens onto a charming covered veranda, while the generous drawing room provides a comfortable space for relaxing. A versatile additional reception room overlooking the rear garden is currently arranged as a gym but could equally serve as a home office, playroom or reading room to suit a purchaser's needs.
The first floor offers four well-proportioned double bedrooms, all enjoying attractive views over the surrounding gardens. The principal bedroom is served by a refitted en-suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are complemented by a well-maintained family bathroom. Bedroom Three also features a substantial dressing room or walk-in wardrobe.
A fully boarded loft with power, lighting and a large skylight provides excellent storage and offers exciting potential for conversion into additional accommodation, subject to the necessary planning permissions.
Complementing the main house is a detached studio annexe, currently utilised as a workshop, complete with a bed-sitting room, kitchenette and shower room. This versatile space offers excellent flexibility for guests, multigenerational living, hobbies, a home business or those working from home.
Outside, the property enjoys a beautifully maintained, park-like garden with mature trees, established planting and expansive lawned areas, creating a peaceful and private setting. The extensive driveway provides parking for numerous vehicles, while the generous plot continues to offer scope for further extension or development, subject to the relevant planning consents.
Offering a rare combination of generous living space, character and a prestigious setting, this outstanding family home presents a wonderful opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented residence on one of Oxford's most sought-after roads.
