This substantial family house of over 4,000 sqft is situated off a quiet country lane in the desirable rural hamlet of Yelford.
Set in over half an acre of delightful private gardens, the property is incredibly versatile and well adapted for modern family living. The house has six bedrooms with four bathrooms, with the sixth bedroom currently being used as a super home office, away from the main part of the house and with views over open fields.
The house is not Listed and surprisingly open-plan with generous ceiling heights and plenty of natural light in the main reception rooms. The accommodation flows well for entertaining and there is further potential to extend the kitchen if required. The sitting room and drawing room have gas fires, and the kitchen/breakfast room benefits from a log burner for the winter. The garden room, which is still warm and bright in winter, is a delightful room for the summer with French doors out to a large terrace and gardens beyond.
Upstairs there is an exceptionally generous principal bedroom with en suite bathroom and separate dressing room. There are three further bedrooms and two bath/ shower rooms in the main part of the house with the fifth bedroom (or annexe room, which opens out onto a courtyard garden) and sixth bedroom above (currently used as the office) in a wing of the house.

The market town of Witney and the city of Oxford are within easy reach providing outstanding shops including the Westgate Centre with a selection of restaurants and bars. There is the University of Oxford, subsequent college buildings and numerous plays at both theatres. Burford also offers plenty of shopping on the high street and at Burford Garden Centre.
Milton House is incredibly well located for both state and private schools. Cokethorpe School is around the corner and St Hugh's approximately 7 miles away. Abingdon is within easy reach plus the Oxford schools such as the Dragon School, St. Edwards and Summer Fields. There are also Pinewood near Lechlade and Radley College.
