7 bed detached house for sale

Red Copse Lane, Headington, Oxford OX1

Positioned on an idyllic private lane in one of Oxford’s most desirable postcodes. A rare opportunity to acquire this seven-bedroom residence with over 5000sqft of accommodation and set on a substantial plot with mature trees and private woodlands. The property is gated with a drive for several vehicles leading to the property, two further detached double garages and a landscaped garden, with a pond, patio and planters.

The property was constructed in the 1950's as a premium family home, where it showcases architectural features from the period. A three-storey extension was later added to the rear of the property, originally intended as an annex and later incorporated into the main home. There is an opportunity to refurbish and enhance the existing home or undertake a ‘demolish and build’ project, as neighbouring estates have commissioned.

This charming plot is situated in a secluded location off a private lane. There are mature gardens and woodlands over 2.3 acres, with far reaching views to the ‘dreamy spires’ of Oxford, only 3 miles from the tranquil position in Boars Hill. The gated home opens to a substantial drive leading to the property and two further detached double garages, allowing for parking for several cars. The natural beauty is complimented with landscaping to the southern corner of the plot, with patios, a pond, planters and feature brickwork.

The property offers flexible accommodation over three floors, with seven bedrooms and four reception rooms, including a conservatory and large sitting room with balcony. The ground floor has an integral double garage and store housing boiler, study, utility room and internal staircase to the first floor and a independent entrance to annexe with its own sitting room, kitchen/diner and stairs rising to bedrooms. An external staircase to first floor leads to main entrance, opening to a light and spacious hallway with a double height floor to ceiling window. A large living room offers excellent views with windows and balcony overlooking the gardens to side and rear aspect. Further rooms include a W.C., kitchen and breakfast room, dining room and a sitting room opening to a conservatory. The generous living spaces are ample for the seven bedrooms to second floor, with three ensuite bathrooms and two further family bathrooms.
