House For Sale £960,000
Meadow Prospect is a highly sought after road located on the very edge of Port Meadow in the heart of Wolvercote. The house has been significantly extended and modernised to provide light and open reception spaces that look onto a landscaped rear garden and the meadows beyond. The kitchen is fitted with stainless steel worktops, contemporary units and opens out to the terrace and garden, and a sizeable family room off. The studio/reception room provides a superb space with part-glazed wooden folding doors to the front, and large sliding glass doors to the garden at the rear. At the front of the house is a further study/guest bedroom with a wood burning stove. Off the hall is a wet room with shower and WC and there is an under-stair storage cupboard. There is under-floor heating throughout on the ground floor. The first floor has two double bedrooms, one of which enjoys wonderful views over the meadow. There is also a good-sized bathroom and, above, an attic for further storage.
The rear garden is one of the widest to back onto the meadow within the close, with an ornate water feature flanked by lawn on both sides, and estate fencing along the perimeter and haha that borders Port Meadow. At the front of the house is a driveway for several cars.
The village of Wolvercote sits on the edge of Port Meadow which is one of the largest open spaces in the north of the city (136.9 ha) and enjoys the benefit of one of only two designated wild bathing waters in the country. Wolvercote is a thriving community on the edge of Oxford with excellent accessibility to the city. There are three public houses, a community village shop and an excellent primary school. There is a community allotment on Port Meadow, a weekly farmers market and a regular bus service into the city. It is also possible to walk across Port Meadow or along the towpath into the centre of Oxford. With the River Thames flowing through the heart of the meadow the flood plains are home to many species of wildfowl, cattle and horses. The grazing rights of the Freemen (and from the 16th Century the Commoners of Wolvercote) protected the meadow from development.<br/><br/>
