There is a regular bus service to Oxford, and good access to the Oxford schools.

Description

Set amongst spectacular and spacious gardens, Exeter House is a particularly striking Grade II listed Georgian property of enormous charm and character. With 3108 sq ft arranged over three floors, it provides fabulous living and entertaining areas, with the feeling of space enhanced by high ceilings and many sunlit windows. The property further benefits from extensive and private off-street parking, as well as a fully separate and self-contained luxury one-bedroom annexe with cathedral ceilings, ensuite bathroom, and French doors opening out to a garden patio.
The sense of space, light, and serenity is immediately apparent upon entering the property, but the centrepiece of Exeter House is the hugely inviting kitchen and adjoining garden room that benefits from dual bi-folding doors which open completely onto a spacious terrace, ideal for entertaining and family gatherings. There is an elegant study and large reception room at the front of the home, both with their own working fireplace, together with a boot room and cloakroom. Upstairs there are five well-proportioned bedrooms across two floors, with two ensuite shower rooms, and a sumptuous family bathroom.
This historic home is surrounded by gardens on all sides, with different areas to enjoy. There is a paved terrace immediately to the rear providing an attractive al fresco eating area. The gardens are laid mainly to lawn and interspersed with well-stocked flower, plant, and shrub beds, hedging and trees. There is a vegetable garden, bespoke greenhouse, potting shed and a block of former stables providing useful workshop and storage space.
Set back from the road, the driveway leads to a generous parking area and to the annexe and attached garage. The inviting self-contained annexe could be suitable as guest/ancillary accommodation, or it could also appeal to those wanting to work from home or wanting to generate an additional income.
