4 bed detached house for sale

Foxcombe Road, Boars Hill OX1

Sitting fairly centrally within its almost acre plot, Danesfield is a typical “Arts and Crafts” home having been originally built in the early 1900s, but has since undergone meticulous extensions and reconfigurations, transforming it into a fantastic family home over two floors.

The layout makes the most of the exceptional ground-floor living spaces and includes a welcoming double aspect sitting room boasting ample natural light, heightened by a sizable lantern, while a conveniently situated study offers picturesque views over the front. At the heart of the home lies the impressive, open-plan kitchen/dining room/family room. With two generous light lanterns and French doors leading to the garden, this space is perfect for entertaining. Completing the ground floor is a separate utility room and a convenient downstairs shower room.

Upstairs there are four bedrooms alongside a family bathroom. The principal bedroom enjoys a fantastic dressing room which could easily be transformed into a fifth bedroom if needed.

Outside, a driveway offers extensive off-street parking and leads to a detached double garage.

Established gardens surround the property and are a delightful feature, with the main lawn interspersed with mature trees, plants, and shrubs alongside a good-sized patio area, perfect for al-fresco dining.
