With a practical and flexible layout of around 4025 sq ft arranged over two floors, plus attic rooms, it will suit families of all ages and, with its current layout, it could particularly appeal to families looking for a sizeable home suitable for multi-generational living. On the ground floor are currently three reception rooms, together with a main kitchen, a cloakroom, and an additional kitchen. On the first floor are seven bedrooms and four bath/shower rooms and, on the second floor, two attic rooms.
The gardens are an exceptional feature of the house and have wonderful views towards the Oxford spires. The house is surrounded by the gardens, which are just over an acre, and are principally laid to lawn and interspersed with plants, shrubs and trees, including plum and pear, willow and cypress There are a number of timber outbuildings to the side of the house, including garaging.
