OUTSIDE
The property is approached along a delightful tree-lined private lane, which leads to a small enclave of just five houses. The house is screened from the lane by a variety of large trees and shrubs, and there is ample parking space to the front and side of the house for multiple vehicles.
The house stands within a plot of just under 1/5 of an acre, with the garden laid mainly to lawn, and enclosed by large mature trees that offer complete privacy from all sides. An elevated paved terrace accessed from the dining room, and with steps down on to the lawn, offers pleasant views across the garden and is the perfect spot to relax. Doors from the kitchen and the sitting room lead out to a second terrace to the rear of the house which provides useful space for a garden shed, and log store.
There is an integral double garage, with a plumbed-in water supply for utilities, which provides a large amount of storage space and also offers the potential to convert to additional accommodation if required.
LOCATION
Situated on the western edge of Oxford, Cumnor Hill is a prosperous area characterised by larger properties, many of them located on exclusive private roads. It has always been a popular location for prospective homebuyers looking for a distinctive, but affordable home.
It has excellent transport links, with local bus services from the centrally located Seacourt Park and Ride providing easy access to the railway station, city centre, and beyond to the hospitals located on the eastern side of Oxford. The Botley Interchange of the Oxford ring road gives immediate access to the A34 and A420, and the wider road and motorway network.
Residents enjoy the bustling shops and services of Elms Parade and West Way Place, which include ATM, post office, library, supermarkets and convenience stores, florist, newsagent, doctors' surgery, dentist, optician, and vet. With ample parking and bus stops close by, access is both simple and convenient.
Botley is well-served by a number of excellent primary schools, and the highly-rated Matthew Arnold secondary school. This location is also well-placed for the independent schools on the west side of Oxford, such as Chandlings, and those in Abingdon such as The Manor, St Helen’s and St Catherine’s, and Abingdon School itself.
