Property description

An extended and refurbished four bedroom semi detached house with off street parking for four cars, and a plot of around 0.15 acres.

Situated in the Oxfordshire hamlet of Christmas Common with views over woodland, this former forestry workers’ cottage has been extended and refurbished to provide 1,498 sq. ft. of accommodation over two floors. This includes - on the ground floor - an entrance porch, a sitting room with a wood burning stove, a snug/study with a wood burning stove, and an open plan kitchen/dining/family room with French doors onto a patio overlooking the rear garden. There is also a utility room, a two piece cloakroom and a side door with a boot room and larder cupboard. On the first floor, the master bedroom overlooks the rear and has a three piece en suite shower room and a range of fitted wardrobes. There are three further bedrooms and a recently refurbished three piece bathroom with Villeroy and Boch sanitary ware. There is potential to convert the loft space to create a bedroom with en suite facilities subject to consent.

Kitchen/Dining/Family Room

This open plan room at the rear of the house has a range of contemporary Shaker style units with granite worktops, upstands and a breakfast bar seating four. French doors opening onto a patio and Velux windows provide plenty of natural light. There is space for a dining table and chairs as well as a seating area. Integrated appliances include a double oven, hob, extractor, dishwasher, fridge and freezer.

Outside

The property is accessed via a private road and, to the front, has well stocked raised beds and off street parking for four cars. Gated side access leads to the rear garden which is laid mainly to lawn with a patio off the rear of the house and a further patio beneath a timber pergola with power connected. The summerhouse style shed at the foot of the garden also has power. The garden is enclosed by fencing and is around 140 ft. long with vegetable beds, strawberry, rhubarb and raspberry patches and young fruit bushes.
