The Firs is a handsome detached Victorian villa, originally built in 1893 as the Dower House to Headington Hall, built for William Morrell of the renowned Oxfordshire brewing family. The author Hope Mirrlees was a former resident of The Firs and both TS Eliot and Winston Churchill are reputed to have stayed at the house. The property is attractively set within mature and lovely private gardens approaching one acre in size. Family's ownership for over 30 years. In that time, the property has been lovingly maintained and updated over the years to offer a very comfortable combination of charm, character and modern convenience.
A floor plan is provided within these particulars showing the approximate size, layout and orientation of the rooms and the photographs illustrate the appeal of this exceptional home. Internally, the rooms have decorative cornicing, high ceilings, period fireplaces and sash windows whilst downstairs, the cellar rooms have been delightfully converted into a games/cinema room, snooker room, gym and bar, with a concealed entrance behind a secret door in the drawing room.

Gardens and Grounds
The gardens and grounds are private, surrounded by mature trees and shrubbery. The whole garden is wonderfully mature and attractively landscaped with lawned areas, terracing, walled courtyard area, vegetable garden, heated swimming pool and a Victorian glass house. The mature trees include a rare specimen Ginkgo tree and the orangery has a very old and very productive vine.

The renowned Oxford schools including Magdalen School, Headington School, The Dragon School, St Edwards School, Oxford High School and Rye St Antony are all within easy reach and there is straightforward access to the A40, the Oxford ring road and the links to the M40 and the A34.

    We are a proud independent London estate agent that do things differently. At Farrell Lewis we not only listen, we hear what you have to say. Combining expertise and energy with flexibility and integrity, we provide clients with the utmost level of attention and care throughout all stages of their buying, selling or letting experience. Client relationships are fundamental to Farrell Lewis’s success, so instead of us doing the talking we’ve asked some of our clients to speak for themselves. We have been working in and around West London for over 10 years selling and letting diverse types of property and are experts in the highs and lows of London’s often volatile market place and perfectly placed to guide clients through the intricacies of both the sales and lettings process. Our reputation speaks for itself.  We know the London property market exceptionally well and we are experienced not only with its dramatic peaks and troughs, but also with its more subtle, yet equally critical, mood changes.  Buying or letting a house goes beyond just putting a price on bricks and mortar.  It is a complex, personal and emotional experience that demands a superior level of service.  From negotiating you the best price to finding the ideal tenant, you can trust Farrell Lewis to get it right.

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