Ladder Hill, Wheatley, Oxford, OX33

A substantial family house built in the 1930s on 1.8 acres, in a commanding position with views over its gardens to the Chilterns beyond. New Place has been beautifully remodelled into a well-balanced family home over three floors, with an excellent flow throughout the generously proportioned accommodation.

The ground floor follows a conventional layout with a hallway that leads to the drawing room, study and a super kitchen. There is also a wine cellar, wc and larder. Beyond the kitchen is a formal dining room, sitting room and orangery that spills out to the garden terrace at the rear.

There are stairs at either end of the house leading to the first floor. The main suite is large with a dressing room and an ensuite bathroom. A generous landing leads to another bedroom with ensuite and two further bedrooms and a bathroom.

The top floor of the house comprises two more generous bedrooms and a bathroom with a significant amount of eaves storage across the whole floor.
It is noteworthy that the house is orientated so that all reception rooms and all but one bedroom benefit from the view towards the Chilterns.

The house is set in extensive grounds interspersed with mature trees and approached by a treelined driveway with ample parking at the front of the house as well as a carport. The grounds are both private and versatile with the garden divided into a formal lawn adjacent to the house, which is flanked by an orchard and paddock, and a kitchen garden and play area for children.

Immediately behind the house is a terrace that runs the length of the house and steps down to the formal lawn with a pergola and decking to catch the afternoon sun. There is also a covered hot tub and a range of sheds for storage.
