Prep schools include Kitebrook (Moreton in Marsh), Carrdus (Overthorpe) and St John's Priory (Banbury). Local public schools are Bloxham School and Tudor Hall. There are bus services from Deddington to all the Oxford schools.

Description
Dating from the early 18th Century, East Bank has been in the same family ownership for 46 years. It sits in a slightly elevated position off the village lane and provides well laid out accommodation with many original features throughout, including window shutters, exposed beams and open fireplaces. The property has been well maintained over the years, and now offers a new family a very comfortable home in a popular village.

The entrance hall leads to the kitchen/family room, with a bespoke Cotteswood kitchen, with plenty of storage. The Aga provides a focal point, and the window seat gives a lovely view towards the church. The adjacent utility/cloakroom gives access to the garden.

The dining room has an open fireplace, and views to the church. The good-sized drawing room has a Clearview inset stove at one end, and large windows making it a lovely bright and relaxing room. The cellar is accessed via a trapdoor from here.

On the first floor there are four bedrooms (one with a washbasin), and a family bathroom which has a freestanding bath and separate shower. On the second floor there is a further good-sized bedroom with beams, dormer window and velux roof light.

Outside
The property is approached via a driveway, with gravelled parking for several cars. There is a large greenhouse, an open barn carport, and a very useful detached stone barn/garage which has potential to be converted (subject to planning) into an annexe or a good working from home space.

The west facing gardens extend to just over 1/3 acre, partly bounded by stone walls and hedging. There are shrubs, trees and lawned areas, with plenty of places to relax and entertain. There are several mature fruit trees, including well established apple and pear trees, and also a productive fig tree.

All fixtures, fittings and furniture such as curtains, light fittings, garden ornaments and statuary are excluded from the sale. Some may be available by separate negotiation.
