The property occupies a private location off The Ridgeway in Boars Hill and has the benefit of a significant land holding, the majority of which is mature woodland.

The house requires modernisation and lends itself to extension and /or development, subject to planning.

Presently the accommodation is over two floors and the house sits in an elevated position with views over the land. Internally the rooms are well proportioned with good natural light throughout and there are four bedrooms with two bathrooms. To the ground floor there is the entrance hall, sitting room with conservatory, dining room and study. The kitchen / breakfast room is to the rear with an adjacent WC and there is also a utility room and adjoining external store.

To the front and rear the garden is laid to lawn and then at the back it slopes gently and is dotted with a number of mature trees and rhododendron interspersed with small streams and springs. It is a haven for wildlife and has been largely undisturbed for many years. The garden has been used for by the University for research purposes as well as fetauiring in a number of television programmes.


Boars Hill is a sought-after residential area famous for its wooded rural setting, just four miles from the centre of Oxford which provides a wide range of shopping, cultural, recreational and educational facilities.

It is well served by communications with access to the A34 and Oxford ring road, connecting to the M4 and M40 motorways, with the regional centres of Newbury and Swindon also within easy reach. Communications by rail are also excellent with fast trains from either Oxford or Didcot to London Paddington taking about fifty and forty five minutes respectively. In addition Oxford Parkway station has services to London Marylebone in fifty six minutes.

The house is situated within close proximity to many schools in the Boars Hill area including Abingdon, Radley, Cothill and Chandlings and also within easy distance to central Oxford where The Dragon, St Edward's, Magdalen College, Summer Fields, Headington, Wychwood and Oxford High School are located.

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
