Spacious period family home set within 1.8 acres.
Description
Neats’ Home is a substantial family house set within 1.8 acres of mostly walled gardens. The oldest part of the house and the barn date to 1750 with later additions to the house. During their tenure, the present owners have undertaken substantial work to extend and update the house.
• 2011: New boiler, re plumbed, new pressurised system installed
• 2012: Roof re-done
• 2016: New 5 door gas Aga with gas hob
• 2019: Family room extended
The kitchen with its five door Aga and gas hob, painted wood units beneath granite worktops is open to the large, dual aspect family room with bifold doors to the end wall, opening to the garden. A walk-in pantry lies just off. The L-shape, triple aspect drawing room has French doors to the garden and two fireplaces with stone surrounds. A smaller room, presently used as a playroom, would make an ideal study. The snug forms the oldest part of the house and incorporates an inglenook fireplace with woodburning stove. There are wooden shutters to the windows and bookshelves to one wall. All rooms interconnect creating a pleasing flow to the ground floor. Off the kitchen is a rear hallway with attached boot room and good-sized utility room.
To the first floor are two principal bedrooms, both with en suite bathrooms, one with a separate bath and shower, the second with a freestanding bath. There are three further bedrooms and a family bathroom.
Outside.
The mostly walled garden is a delight, separated by walls and mature beech hedging. The front garden is bordered by deep, mature herbaceous beds and the natural spring fed pond is planted with abundant snowdrops. There is a hexagonal, brick-built summerhouse and the rear garden has direct access off the farm track and offers the option for further parking. Here there are two stables and a large woodshed. Mature trees throughout the garden include walnut, cherry, pear, apple and quince.
The stunning timber framed barn dates to 1750 and provides 88 sq ft of flexible, usable space.
Location
Situated about five miles south of Oxford, Radley is a thriving village with amenities including a 13th century church, mainline station, village shop, pub and Radley College Sports centre. Annexed to the village, Lower Radley is reached along quiet lanes within striking distance of the River Thames. Nearby Abingdon provides everyday shopping requirements with Oxford offering more extensive shopping and cultural activities. The area is very well served with highly regarded schools, both state and independent.
Communications are excellent with the A34 providing swift access to the M40 and M4. Radley station is on the mainline between Oxford and Didcot with services to London Paddington. There is also a regular bus service from the village to both Oxford and Abingdon.
Square Footage: 4,053 sq ft
Directions
From Oxford proceed south on the A34. Take the first Abingdon exit and follow signs towards the town centre on the Oxford Road. At the roundabout take the first exit to Radley and continue into the village. Take the right turn on Foxborough Road past the station and pub. Turn right over the railway to Lower Radley. Continue for a short distance and the entrance to Neats’ Home can be found on the right just before a small, grassed triangle.
