Description

Heathfield is a wonderfully presented house set in peaceful gardens and grounds in a quiet location on Bedwells Heath. Successfully combining traditional materials with contemporary style and design, the house offers outstanding family and entertaining accommodation by combining large open planned areas, as well as private spaces. Modern features include the ground source heat pump and a Lutron lighting system. There is underfloor heating throughout the lower ground, first and second floors, as well as in the basement. The house also has CAT7 running throughout, and an integrated home automation and security system.

The spectacular circular reception hall at the base of the tower has doors leading through to the open plan kitchen/dining/family room, a sumptuous light-filled space with large glazed floor height windows and doors overlooking the gardens. Other ground floor rooms include the large, welcoming drawing room and a study. The lower ground floor has a cinema room, together with a wine cellar, and the first and second floors offer extensive bedroom accommodation, with six bedrooms in total.

There are far reaching views from the house, in particular from the gallery and study on the second floor, also offering views over the gardens and adjoining fields.
Within the grounds is an indoor swimming pool complex, with changing room, shower room, steam room and sauna. Bi-folding doors open out from the swimming pool open a deck overlooking the gardens and woodland.

The well stocked, landscaped gardens are laid to lawn with a paved terrace surrounding the house, and formal areas providing a peaceful setting. There is extensive parking to the front of the house, together with a triple garage.

Lying in an elevated position above the Vale of the White Horse, it enjoys wonderful walks and some of the best views of the city and its spires. Local amenities are found in the neighbouring village of Wootton, with more comprehensive facilities in Abingdon and Oxford.

Boars Hill is also well located for an excellent range of state and independent schools for all ages in Oxford and Abingdon. The nearby A34 gives access to the M4 (J13) to the south and the M40 (J9) to the north. Regular train services run either from Didcot, Oxford or Oxford Parkway. For those wishing to enjoy the immediate surroundings, there are lovely walks along footpaths and bridleways into Bagley Wood and woodland owned by the Oxford Preservation Trust.
