House For Sale £1,250,000
Knight Frank are pleased to offer this four-bedroom home to the market in the lovely Oxfordshire village of Checkendon. The well-proportioned accommodation comprises four bedrooms, two bathrooms, three reception rooms, an office, a utility room, a downstairs WC, a private rear garden, a driveway, a garage, and car port.
Passing beneath a covered porch, the oak front door opens into an inviting entrance hall with smart wooden floors. Stairs lead up to the first floor and a cloakroom with storage lies beneath them. There is also a downstairs WC.
To the left is the spacious, dual-aspect sitting room featuring a handsome fireplace with a log burner and French windows opening to a terrace at the rear. Across the hall, the dining room benefits from a lovely bay window. The office sits in a quiet, central position, ideal for working from home. The contemporary kitchen features stylish floor tiles and gloss cabinets, with integrated appliances, including a Neff oven, electric hob, and extractor. A fully furnished utility room lies off to the right, and bright bay French windows open on to the garden terrace at the rear.
Upstairs, the four double bedrooms and family bathroom all lead off the window-lit central landing from which the boarded loft can also be accessed via a fitted ladder. The expansive principal bedroom lies at the rear of the house overlooking the garden, paddocks and woods beyond. It features a wonderful gabled ceiling. The room benefits from built-in wardrobes and draws, an en suite shower room, and further storage behind the wardrobes. Bedrooms two and three benefit from high gabled ceilings and exposed beams. Bedrooms two, three, and four are served by the stylish family bathroom with a separate bath and shower.
The property has a large gravel driveway lined with hedging and a single garage with an additional covered carport and eaves storage. There is a small shed at the front of the property, and some raised beds, perfect for a vegetable patch or a floral display. To the right of the house there is a larger shed and a greenhouse, and to the left behind a gate there is further open storage.
The rear garden is primarily laid to lawn and enclosed by mature hedging and fencing, with beds of specimen shrubs. A beautiful tree occupies the left corner, while in the right there is a small patio from which to enjoy a different aspect. The flagstone terrace by the kitchen offers a perfect spot for al fresco dining in the peaceful quiet of the surrounding countryside.
Checkendon is located on the edge of the Chiltern Hills in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This close-knit village is listed in the Domesday Book and has many amenities, including an excellent preschool and primary school, a twelfth-century church, a village hall, and three nearby pubs. There is also a highly regarded equestrian centre, a large village green with children's play area, sports facilities, and a pavilion, home to the village cricket club and football team.
The village is a short drive from the riverside market towns of Henley-on-Thames, famous for the Royal Regatta, and Wallingford. Comprehensive conveniences are available in nearby Reading and Oxford.
Both Henley and Reading offer excellent rail links (London in under 45 minutes), while M4 and M40 motorways are also easily accessible. The area is well served for schools, including the highly regarded Oratory School just two miles away.
