Cumnor Hill, Oxford OX2

5 Bedroom | Freehold | 3 Baths

A period detached family home situated in an elevated position on highly sought after Cumnor Hill close to the City Centre and enjoying far reaching views from the top floors

Description
Built in 1904 with only three owners in its history, this detached family home enjoys an elevated position on Cumnor Hill and is complemented by a mature and secluded garden amounting in all to c.0.43 acres. The house, which retains period features including fireplaces in the bedrooms, was sympathetically extended in more recent years to enhance the ground floor to create a larger kitchen/breakfast room and a second sitting room.

Arranged over three floors, the well-proportioned accommodation boasts to the ground floor, an entrance hall with stairs to the first floor, a double reception room, providing a perfect space for entertaining with two large bay windows and a wood burning stove in the sitting room, and enjoying an outlook over the garden, is the kitchen/breakfast room with Aga and direct access to the driveway via a glass entrance porch which provides an abundance of natural light into the room. Arranged off the kitchen is the second sitting room with a welcoming wood burning stove and sliding doors to the garden. Completing the ground floor are a utility room/second kitchen and a cloakroom with shower. At first floor level are the principal bedroom with adjoining dressing room and en-suite shower room, the family bathroom and a further bedroom. The remaining three bedrooms, one of which is currently used as study, are arranged on the second floor. The top floors to the front of the house enjoy the lovely outlook over the garden and beyond towards Farmoor reservoir and the surrounding countryside.

The property is approached over a long driveway owned by the property which leads to the back of the house and the car port with adjoining storage sheds. Arranged at the front of the house and providing a lovely setting, the mature garden is a particular feature of the house, mainly laid to lawn with well-established shrubs and borders and enclosed with mature hedging and a variety of trees. Within the garden is a large terrace, a pond and garden shed. The neighbouring properties have right of access over the driveway.
