House For Sale £625,000
An elegant three-bedroom family home in an exclusive and sought-after location, with a large mature garden.
Standing in an elevated position within a quiet tree-lined residential close, the house is approached by a brick-paved driveway skirting a good-sized front garden boasting a magnificent beech tree. The property, which dates 1934, has been carefully maintained by the current owner and benefits from many original and period features including the original timber front door and beautiful parquet floor in the entrance hallway which help to create that welcoming feel of ‘Home’ immediately on entering the house.
The hall gives access to each of the ground floor rooms. These comprise an elegant sitting room and forming the heart of the house, a comfortable extended lounge/dining room with feature fireplace and sliding patio doors opening on to the garden. The breakfast kitchen is light and airy and also benefits from a glazed door which leads out to a delightful paved terrace with raised beds and a pond. There is also a downstairs cloakroom. Upstairs are two double bedrooms and further study bedroom, together with a family bathroom.
Externally the driveway leads along the side of the house to a brick-built garage with its paired glazed timber doors and pitch roof, and separate side door leading to the house and garden, ideal for conversion to a home office or similar. There is also the potential here to extend to the side of the house to create additional accommodation on one or two storeys, as has been done with several neighbouring properties. To the rear of the property there is a pleasant terrace with a green house, raised beds and a pond, from which a short flight of steps leads up to the mature south-facing garden, which extends over some 710sq m (0.18 acres).
A lovely house, it is ideal for families as it is, but has the potential to extend and remodel in a variety of ways to accommodate their needs over many years to come. Early viewing strongly advised.
Location: Botley is fast emerging as a favourite location for homebuyers in Oxford, and Elms Rise is one of the most popular areas. The amenities of central Botley at Westway Square are approximately 650m distant, which include atm, post office, library, supermarkets and convenience stores, a florist, newsagent, doctors' surgery, dentist, optician, and vet. On Saturdays there is a vibrant street market. There are also good transport links with regular bus services leaving from Westway Square providing convenient access to the rail station and city centre. The Botley Interchange of the Oxford ring road, which gives immediate access to the A34, A420 and the wider road and motorway network, is also close by. Botley is well-served by a number of excellent primary schools, and the highly-rated Matthew Arnold secondary school. There are also numerous parks, playing fields, and open spaces within easy walking distance, including Louis Memorial Fields with play area and open-air gym, and the 27-acre Raleigh Park. Local residents may also use the facilities of the Oxford Brookes University sports centre.
