Description

Highly individual detached family home, complemented by beautiful gardens extending to approximately one acre, including established woodland, situated at the end of this private and highly regarded residential setting in Boars Hill offering the perfect balance of tranquil semi-rural living combined with convenient access to Oxford city centre and Abingdon.

The property enjoys delightful views across its established gardens from many of the principal rooms. An inviting entrance hall provides access to a cloakroom and shower room, while the impressive dual-aspect kitchen/family room is fitted with an excellent range of floor and wall mounted units and is complemented by a separate boot room/utility room which houses the boiler. Further ground-floor accommodation includes a study, a spacious dual aspect dining room, and a living room featuring stylish bespoke wall furniture.

A particular highlight of the home is the superb garden room, with its vaulted ceiling (electronically powered Velux windows) and provides panoramic views over the stunning gardens. This exceptional space opens directly onto a generous courtyard creating an ideal setting for both relaxation and entertaining. The garden room also benefits from ceramic flooring with underfloor heating.

The first floor features two double bedrooms with fitted wardrobe cupboards, all served by a refitted shower room. The third bedroom is currently used as a study.

Outside, the grounds extend to just over one acre and are approached via powered timber gates, opening onto an extensive driveway providing parking for several vehicles and leading to a substantial detached brick-built garage with powered up and over wooden door.

The stunning and exceptionally private rear gardens are a particular feature of the property. A south-facing terraced area with steps down to extensive lawn which leads to a most attractive area of mature woodland, planted with established bluebells, rhododendrons and camellias, alongside a variety of trees including maple and mature oak trees. Further features include a charming summerhouse with west facing additional seating area, all interconnected by meandering pathways that create delightful garden walks throughout the grounds. The property also benefits from easy access to the neighbouring Oxford Preservation Trust Land (the Old Berkeley Golf Course) Chilswell Valley and Bagley Wood are all within walking distance, a truly rare asset that provides wonderful opportunities for walking, wildlife appreciation and enjoyment of the surrounding countryside.

Excellent potential exists to significantly enlarge the existing property, subject to the necessary planning consents, creating a substantial family residence. This has proven to be a popular option among neighbouring properties on Red Copse Lane, many of which have been extended and enhanced over the years to maximise their impressive plots and desirable setting.

Red Copse Lane is a private and highly sought-after lane, widely regarded as one of Boars Hill's most prestigious residential addresses. Comprising only a select number of individual detached family homes set within substantial grounds, the location offers an exceptional sense of privacy, exclusivity, and tranquillity.

Despite its peaceful setting, the property enjoys convenient access to the nearby thriving Abingdon Town and the historic city of Oxford, renowned for its outstanding shopping, cultural attractions, restaurants, and extensive amenities. The area is also exceptionally well served by an excellent selection of highly regarded private schools.

For commuters, Oxford's mainline railway station and the nearby A34 provide superb transport links, offering straightforward access to London, the Midlands, and the South of England.
