Oakley Park, Frilford Heath, Oxfordshire

A somewhat unique single storey property of over 3000 sq.ft designed in the 1970's with a strong architectural vision, this individual home is a classic example of modernist design with exceptional living space and an enduring style. The property has huge potential for alteration, extension and development (subject to PP), and stands in a large mature plot of over 1 acre, set back from the road behind it's glorious garden. The Lodge does now require updating throughout but this does not detract from it's appeal, as with this comes the opportunity to create a stunning family home in a wonderful location offering peace and seclusion, large secluded gardens, and a substantial stone-built garden studio/office offering a work space that will be uninterrupted by the workings of a family home. The Lodge is one of just a handful of properties that form Oakley Park, on the fringes of Frilford Heath golf club, some 4 miles west of Abingdon.

The accommodation is currently arranged with the living and bedroom accommodation at either side of the property with a reception hall accessing both. This comprises a south-facing sitting room, a large conservatory, master bedroom with en-suite and dressing room, cloakroom, breakfast kitchen, utility/laundry room and WC. A home office or additional reception space has a mezzanine level above with a glazed pitched roof. There are 3 further double bedrooms (1 en-suite) and a family bathroom.

The wonderful established garden enjoys a southerly aspect and extends down to the Faringdon Road. The property is approached on the north side where there is a stone-built garage and driveway parking for several vehicles. Beyond this a part-walled "secret garden" boasting a short tennis court and the garden office/studio building complete with electric heating, double glazing and Velux roof lights.

The Lodge has to be viewed to fully understand and appreciate not only the considerable potential it offers to the imaginative purchaser but also the fabulous plot and well regarded semi-rural location. For sale with no onward chain.
