A superbly presented house in this quiet corner of Iffley village that has been meticulously renovated and extended by the current owners. The house enjoys wonderful natural light with the principal rooms overlooking the private mature gardens. The heart of the house is the kitchen/breakfast room, which forms the major part of the extension and has full-height glazed windows and sliding doors onto the terrace. The kitchen has fitted units, a central island, and oak flooring, and to one side is a utility room/pantry. The kitchen opens onto the dining/family room. There is a sitting room with a wood-burning stove, a vaulted ceiling and French doors opening onto the roof terrace looking west towards the river. Across the landing is a study.
The first floor has the main bedroom with fitted wardrobes and an ensuite bathroom, two further bedrooms and a shower room. The ground floor has the hall, a shower room, a bedroom/reception room and a boiler/store room. 'From the hall, a door leads through a wine storage area (not temperature controlled) to a double garage. Above the garage is a wonderful roof terrace with a stone surround, chrome rails, and glass balustrades.
The garden is a major feature of the house and has a large paved terrace with steps up onto the lawn. There are well-stocked herbaceous borders, and the garden is divided into two main areas by means of a yew hedge. There is also a Malvern Gardens home office measuring 14ft x 8ft with electric heating and lighting. To the front of the house, there is off street parking for two cars.
Works to the house include, amongst other things:
Rewiring and re-plumbed with a new boiler
New sanitary ware
Refurbishment of the roof
New kitchen
New guttering
Rear roof completely re-done in 2025
A full list of the renovation work is available from Knight Frank.
