Delightful period house with substantial annexe outbuilding, set in a rural location with convenient access to Oxford and London. (Station approx. 10 mins’ walk. London from 1 about hour).
Description
Situated on a quiet single track lane with fields to the rear, Longstraw House is set back to the rear of its plot, which extends to about 0.4 acres. With origins thought to date to the 17th century, the property is Grade II* Listed. Having evolved over the years the oldest part is timber framed beneath a mainly thatched roof and was once two cottages which are understood to have been converted into one house in the 1980s. In the same ownership since the 1990s, the property has been lovingly restored and well maintained. With period features including C17 plank doors with strap hinges, chamfered beams, original floor boards and exposed timber framing, the property today, combines contemporary comforts to create a delightful family home. Outside, there is a detached annexe building with attached garage. Currently used as home office/art studio with a mezzanine, it offers scope for conversion to ancillary accommodation depending on needs.
Delightful cottage gardens to front and sides include established trees offering shade and play areas, a working well, and pretty terrace areas.
Location
Situated about 5 miles south of the city of Oxford, Radley is a thriving village with amenities including a 13th century church, mainline railway station, village shop, pub and Radley College Sports centre. Annexed to the village, Lower Radley is reached along quiet lanes, where rural walks are enjoyed along the nearby River Thames and surrounding countryside. Nearby Abingdon, and the city of Oxford, offer more extensive retail and leisure amenities. The area is also very well served for an extensive selection of state and independent schools.
Communications are excellent with the nearby A34 giving access to the M40 and M4. The railway station in Radley is on the main line between Didcot and Oxford with services to London (Paddington). There is also a regular bus service from the village to Oxford and Abingdon.
Square Footage: 2,888 sq ft
Acreage:
0.4 Acres
Directions
From Oxford proceed south on the A34. Take the first Abingdon exit and follow the signs towards the town centre on the Oxford Road. At the roundabout take the first exit as signed to Radley, follow into the village on the Radley Road. Take the right turn on Foxborough Road and past the station and pub. Turn right as signed to Lower Radley over the railway. On arriving at small green triangle, take the right fork, continue for a little way (past where the SatNav indicates) and the property is found on the left, before the big left bend. If you reach Radley rowing club signs you have gone too far.
