Eynsham Road, Sutton

Brimming with kerb appeal and characterful charm, this delightful family home sits in a peaceful hamlet surrounded by open countryside. Inside, it offers everything one would hope for in a period property, including stone fireplaces, two wood-burning stoves and traditional ledge-and-brace doors. The delights continue from the bi-fold kitchen doors out to an extensive paved and decked seating area, creating a superb alfresco dining retreat and an idyllic spot from which to enjoy the far-reaching countryside views and surrounding wildlife.

The accommodation is presented in excellent order, and blends perfectly original character with contemporary living. The ground floor comprises a spacious entrance hall with a bespoke staircase rising to the first floor, along with a formal dining room/second reception room featuring a stone fireplace and stove. The sitting area, complete with a feature wood-burning stove, enjoys lovely views through bi-fold doors to the garden. The stunning kitchen/dining room provides a fabulous social space, fitted with an extensive range of units, Neff integrated appliances and a breakfast island for casual dining. There is also ample room for a dining table, with the space flowing naturally through to the sitting area. A utility room and cloakroom complete the excellent ground floor picture.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom benefits from an ensuite shower room and glorious views towards Wytham Hill. There are two further double bedrooms and a beautifully tiled family bathroom with both a bath and separate shower — not forgetting a loo with a view.

The truly wonderful garden further enhances the home and has been landscaped to provide a pretty, well-stocked setting with a host of flowering plants and shrubs that border the generous lawn. There is ample space for a vegetable plot to the rear boundary adjacent a wonderful timber summerhouse providing valuable additional space. The current owner currently uses this great additional room as a home office/workshop. An excellent additional attribute is the gated driveway which provides parking for several vehicles.

Overall, the idyllic location completes this fabulous home. Situated just 7 miles from Oxford and 5 miles from the vibrant market town of Witney, it is ideally placed for commuters and country-cottage seekers alike.
