Property description

A six bedroom detached house with driveway parking, a double garage and a swimming pool, with a rear garden overlooking open countryside in the village of Sydenham.

On the edge of an Oxfordshire village, with rural views over farmland at the rear, this detached property was built in approximately 1960. Constructed of brick under a tile roof, the property provides over 2,970 sq. ft. of accommodation. The current owners have configured the layout for multi-generational living which provides the main house with a kitchen/dining room, a sitting room, and five bedrooms, and the integrated one-bedroom annexe with its own kitchen/sitting room and shower room. A shared utility room and study are also included. The property could easily be reconfigured into a single property if required. The primary entrance opens to a hallway with stairs to the first floor, to a sitting room with cinema screen, and a kitchen/dining room. The kitchen/dining room has a bespoke contemporary kitchen with touch to open wall and base units, a range cooker with an induction hob, an integrated dishwasher, and space and plumbing for an American style fridge/freezer.

Main House - First Floor

There are five bedrooms, all defined by the shape of the eaves with vaulted or pitched ceilings, and connected via a straight landing with two larger than average Velux windows overlooking the countryside. The principal bedroom measures over 15 ft. by over 14 ft. and overlooks the rear garden and the countryside beyond and has a door to a three-piece en suite shower room. Bedroom three, which measures nearly 14 ft. by nearly 12 ft., has fitted wardrobes with sliding doors. Bedrooms four and five have Velux windows and a lockable connecting door. These rooms share a bathroom leading off the landing.

Annexe

Accessed from a private entrance between the main house and garage, the annexe is at the rear. The kitchen has a vaulted ceiling with four Velux windows and French doors to a patio. Integrated appliances include a fridge/freezer and an oven. This leads to an over 17 ft. long sitting area accessing a lobby with storage. There are a shower room and a bedroom with French doors to a patio. The lobby connects to the hallway in the main house via a lockable door.

Outside

A gated driveway has parking for several cars ahead of a double garage with an electric door. The house is named after the beech hedges at the front. Gates on both sides of the house lead to the rear garden which is south westerly facing and has a patio adjacent to the rear of the house. Part of the garden is laid to lawn and has raised beds and a BBQ lodge. There is a dodecagon-shaped 20 ft. pool, with a pool house and a further outbuilding with a store, which could be a changing room.
