Spacious family house with pool, gardens and extension potential near Oxford.
Half-acre mature plot with high privacy
Set just two miles from Oxford city centre, this attractive four-bedroom detached house sits in mature, private grounds of about half an acre. The well-proportioned accommodation includes four reception rooms, a conservatory, kitchen with breakfast area, utility/boot room and a dual-aspect sitting room with fireplace — useful living space for a growing family. Outside there is a large paved terrace, a 10m heated outdoor swimming pool with recently upgraded equipment, sweeping gated gravel driveway, detached single garage and a substantial timber workshop.
The first floor offers four generous bedrooms and a family bathroom; three bedrooms have built-in wardrobes. There is scope to enlarge the first floor or convert the large loft space, subject to consent, offering clear potential to increase living space. The workshop previously benefited from planning consent for demolition and replacement (details unspecified), which may be of interest to buyers wanting additional outbuildings or parking.
Practical points: the house dates from the 1950s–60s so some updating may be desirable, double glazing is present though installation date is unknown, and the property is freehold. The extensive, well-stocked gardens demand routine maintenance but provide high privacy, fruit trees and room for children to play. Council tax is relatively high and ongoing upkeep of the grounds and pool should be factored into running costs.
Positioned on Hinksey Hill, the home combines country tranquillity with good transport links — easy access to the A34, rail services from Oxford and Didcot, and a local bus stop outside. A strong selection of independent and state schools nearby makes this a practical family location for those wanting space, privacy and easy city access.
