Spacious five-bedroom house with landscaped gardens and flexible upstairs suite.
Thatched Tudor-style detached home with strong character
A striking five-bedroom detached home on Harcourt Hill that blends traditional character with modern comfort. Constructed and extended in the early 2000s, the house features a thatched Tudor-style roof, oak panelling, vaulted ceilings and an inglenook fireplace alongside contemporary fittings such as Stoneham cabinetry and granite worktops in the kitchen-diner.
Arranged over multiple floors, the layout suits a large family: three reception rooms (snug, study and formal dining room), an elegant principal suite with dressing room, spa-style ensuite and steam room shower, plus a versatile top-floor family room with kitchenette and shower room that could become a self-contained suite. The house is bright throughout, double-glazed, gas-fired central heating with boiler and radiators, and underfloor heating in parts.
Outside, very large landscaped gardens with private patios, water features and mature beech hedging provide many quiet corners and family-friendly lawn space. Practical benefits include a gated driveway with ample parking, a double garage and proximity to countryside walks, local pubs and a short journey into Oxford. Nearby schools range from well-regarded state primaries to independent colleges.
Important practical points: the property has an EPC rating of C and sits in a very affluent, low-crime area with excellent mobile signal but average broadband speeds. Council tax is noted as quite expensive. There is potential for no onward chain and further scope to adapt the upper-floor suite, but periodic maintenance associated with a thatched roof and character features should be expected.
