Set behind an Edwardian-style facade on Banbury Road, this architect-designed four-bedroom detached house blends period character with contemporary fittings. The home’s Poggenpohl kitchen with Miele appliances, a double-height sitting room with vaulted ceiling, and a central glazed study create generous, light-filled living spaces suited to family life or home-working professionals. Practical features include a fully functional Otis elevator serving every floor, underfloor heating in key rooms, and noise-reducing double glazing.
Sleeping accommodation is flexible: four double bedrooms, one with an ensuite shower room, and scope to add ensuites where needed. The lower-ground and upper-floor layouts offer straightforward conversion potential (for example a current laundry room can become an additional bedroom with ensuite). Outdoor space is low-maintenance — a formal Japanese-style courtyard to the rear and a landscaped front garden — plus a double garage with a versatile studio above and driveway parking for multiple cars.
Buyers should note a few material points: the property was built to an architect’s brief in the late 1990s and has solid brick walls that are assumed to have no cavity insulation, which may affect future insulation upgrades. Some upper areas have restricted head height and there are several separate WCs and shower rooms rather than a large family bathroom. Council tax is described as quite expensive. Overall the house is chain-free and sits in affluent Summertown with excellent schools, fast broadband and strong transport connections — attractive for families and professionals seeking space, character and convenience.
