THE PROPERTY

This is a property that rewards those who understand what it takes to do things properly — a thoroughly re-engineered detached home where the work that matters most has already been done with uncommon thoroughness.

The reconfiguration and extension have been carried out to an exacting standard, with the incoming owner invited to apply the finishing touches that will make it entirely their own. The ground floor has been prepared with wet underfloor heating beneath a latexed screed ready to receive the floor covering of choice. A kitchen diner extension to the rear is crowned by a central vaulted glass ceiling, with bi-fold doors drawing the garden into the living space and ensuring natural light reaches deep into the plan. The kitchen itself has been deliberately left unfitted a considered decision affording the new owners’ complete freedom of style and specification.

Throughout the property, the investment is architectural as much as aesthetic. Walls have been rebuilt with enhanced sound deadening and uprated insulation, the loft is heavily insulated and boarded with a 300-litre hot water tank installed, and the house has been subject to a full rewire and replumb to the latest specification. Two new staircases with glazed balustrades bring a clean, contemporary quality to the circulation. Each of the four double bedrooms is served by its own ensuite, with a dressing room accompanying the principal suite. Cat 6 cabling runs throughout, including externally for CCTV, and the living room has been prepared for full AV and surround sound installation. A discreet 'nerve centre' in the loft consolidates the home's considerable infrastructure.

Externally, the property occupies a generous plot at the end of a cul-de-sac with expansive parking to the front. The detached double garage has been thoughtfully converted into a dedicated home office with air conditioning, retaining practical storage/ gym area to the front elevation — an arrangement well suited to contemporary working life.

The house is well placed for access to the A40, and nearby Hanborough station provides frequent mainline services to Oxford and London Paddington. Those with an eye for substance and style over superficial cosmetics are encouraged to arrange a private viewing at their convenience.
