Gidley Way, Horspath, Oxford OX33

A deceptively spacious family home in a sought-after village, benefitting from a double storey side extension and garden room to rear. The property is immaculately presented and has undergone extensive cosmetic refurbishment throughout, including rewiring and a new plumbing system. The property has been given the same attention externally and allows for a block paved drive for six vehicles and a landscaped rear garden with retaining wall and terrace to enjoy stunning views of the neighbouring vineyard and the Oxfordshire countryside. Further benefitting from a 1.2m height cellar, with access door to side.

The property comprises entrance hall with oak flooring and large openings to allow light to circulate and create desirable spaces. A living room with terrace looks over the rear garden and onto the charming vineyard and countryside. A further reception room is being used as a generous play room but would make a comfortable ground floor bedroom or sitting room. The fitted kitchen has built-in appliances and door to utility room with extractor fan. The kitchen steps down to a beautifully designed garden room, with vaulted ceilings and floor to ceiling windows to make the most of the stunning views. The ground floor also allows for a study and downstairs shower room. To first floor there are four double bedrooms with an ensuite to principle, a family bathroom with shower and bath tub. A spacious fitted dressing room allows for a fifth bedroom if preferred.

Horspath, is set on the southern slope of Shotover Hill some 4 miles to the east of Oxford City. There is a blend of period and modern properties, a village shop and post office, public house, a brewery tap room and a garage. The schooling is a big attraction for the village, with a desirable local nursery and primary school and Wheatley Park secondary school a short drive away. The church is believed to date back to Norman times and is famous for two unusual stone figures on the church tower and for a stained glass window commemorating an Oxford don who was attacked by a wild boar on Shotover Hill.

Commuting from the village is convenient with Oxford City nearby and the Oxford ring road that leads to the A40, A34 and the M40 which gives access to London, Birmingham and the Midlands. Train stations at Oxford, Oxford Parkway and Haddenham & Thame all provide regular services to London. There is also a regular bus service that takes you into Oxford. There are two retail parks within 2 miles including M&S, Tesco and Homebase as well as David Lloyd Leisure Centre, Premier Inn & Beefeater.
