Set back from the road with a private driveway Hazel Cottage is a delightful, substantial family home with plenty of character and exceptionally versatile accommodation well-suited to a busy family life and a working-from-home lifestyle.

Hazel Cottage is a lovely Grade II listed family home resulting from the combination of the old village Police house, two 16th-century cottages and modern extensions together with two separate modern studio buildings. The house has been owned for the last 50 years by an award-winning architect who has worked on many Oxford colleges. He has brought his talent to bear renovating the house which now successfully combines both historic and contemporary buildings, including two substantial office/annexe buildings, one of which could be incorporated into the main house to extend square footage or used as home offices, rental properties or Air B and Bs with the correct permissions.

Built of stone under a thatched roof, the house is full of period features including inglenook fireplaces, exposed timbers and original floorboards; however, there are also more modern light and bright reception areas with a contrasting feel. On the ground floor of the main house, there are three principal reception rooms and a hardwood conservatory. These include the original oak-beamed 16th-century living room with imposing inglenook fireplace, while the other is a large, light and airy galleried modern living room with a log burner. The kitchen/breakfast room has access to the garden and multiple wall and base units.

There is also a downstairs cloakroom, a utility room and additional storage room which could double as a study or playroom. Above are five bedrooms, two bath/shower rooms, and a studio, which could easily be a sixth bedroom if required. Attached to the house is an integrated office block with a reception room, two main offices, a kitchen in between, and a cloakroom on the ground floor. This has the potential to be incorporated into the house via the conservatory should future owners wish to convert it to domestic use. Across the skilfully designed and well-maintained gardens is an additional garage block of 1,539 sqft with three garages and a further modern, balconied office/studio, kitchen and shower room above which was last used as the owner's architecture practice.

Hazel Cottage is situated in the centre of the thriving village of Weston-on-the-Green, seven miles north of Oxford. Weston on the Green is a vibrant village between Oxford and Bicester.

The village has a great community with a wide range of amenities, including a country house hotel, two pubs, a village post office/stores and a farm-based ice cream shop and café. The area enjoys breathtaking countryside while benefiting from all the amenities associated with city life.

There is a Park and Ride, three mainline rail stations to London, all within 6 miles, and excellent road and rail connections to London and the Midlands (via the A34/M40) and the national motorway network.

As you would expect, educational institutions are second to none. They include the following: Oxford and highly regarded independent day schools, including The Dragon, Oxford High, and Magdalen College School, are all within a short drive or bus journey. World-renowned shopping facilities at Bicester Village and Westgate Shopping Centre in Oxford, plus gym facilities including a spa, indoor and outdoor swimming and indoor tennis courts at Bicester Golf and Country Club.
