THE PROPERTY
Aragon House is a generously proportioned detached property, thoughtfully extended and upgraded by the current owners to provide a perfect home for larger families and an ideal space for entertaining.
Entering the house through the front door, the central hallway gives access to each of the ground floor rooms. The heart of the house is the very well-appointed kitchen, fitted with a range of integrated appliances and benefitting from an adjoining utility room, and the bright and airy Breakfast area with paired French windows that open out on to the terrace. The adjoining Sitting room, with its feature multi-fuel stove and ‘glass wall’ array of folding doors that again open on to the garden, is a comfortable and relaxing space at all times of year.
Also on the ground floor are an elegant dual-aspect Dining Room, Study and a downstairs cloakroom. The integral double garage, which is not currently accessible from within the house, is fitted with one electric vehicle charging point, and has wiring in place for a second. A connecting door leads from the garage into the gym which again features a ‘glass wall’ array of folding doors that provide views to the garden and to the open farmland beyond.
Upstairs are six bedrooms, and the family bathroom. The master bedroom suite incorporates two separate dressing rooms, and a luxury en suite bathroom with dual handbasins, a free-standing designer bath and a dual steam shower cubicle. There is also electric underfloor heating. Bedrooms two and three also benefit from en suite bath and shower rooms respectively, with either underfloor heating (en suite 2) or infrared ceiling mounted heater (en suite 3). All the bathrooms boast high quality fittings from Villeroy & Boch and Hansgrohe.
OUTSIDE
The property sits on a generous plot of approximately 0.25 acres (c. 1000 sq m). At the front of the house there is driveway parking for four vehicles while to the rear the south-west-facing garden space has been arranged in a number of distinct zones. These include the elegant 76 sq m English limestone patio which overlooks the lawn (200 sq m), an area of wildflower turf (100 sq m), raised beds, and most distinctively an artificial putting green with two bunkers (80 sq m). The entire garden is served by an automatic underground irrigation system with 21 pop-up sprinklers. Beneath the garden there are three bore holes which serve the ground source heat pump and extend some 107m into the bedrock below the house.
OUTBUILDINGS
Perhaps the centre-piece of the garden is the delightful fully-equipped barbeque hut designed by Arctic Cabins, perfect for outdoor entertaining whatever the weather, or for night-time get-togethers such as Bonfire Night. Adjoining the house are a range of neatly arranged timber storage units, one of which contains the boiler of the Ground Source Heat Pump. There is also a greenhouse (1.7 x 2m).
SITUATION
Located within an exclusive development of just five properties at the summit of Cumnor Hill approximately three miles southwest of the city centre, Aragon House is perfectly placed to enjoy the combined benefits of easy access to the city and rail station, as well as the pleasures of village life.
Cumnor itself is a thriving community with several good pubs, village shop, post office, church, and cricket club.
At the heart of the village is Cumnor Church of England Primary School (OFSTED-rated ‘Good’), while highly-regarded Matthew Arnold secondary is only 1.9km way. A range of independent schools both in Oxford and in Abingdon are also in easy reach.
As the property lies adjacent to open farmland, there are many picturesque walks (many leading to pleasant pubs in
neighbouring villages) to enjoy nearby, while further afield, Farmoor Reservoir and Nature Reserve (3km away) offers a range of water sports such as sailing and paddle boarding, as well as fishing and birdwatching. The facilities of Oxford Brookes University Sports Centre at nearby Harcourt Hill, are available to local residents also, and include swimming pool, gym, squash and tennis courts.
There are regular bus services into the city centre and Oxford Rail station, from which there are connections to
London every 30 mins (journey time to Paddington 55 mins). The A40 ring road is also close by, which provides
easy access to the rest of the city, A34 and the wider road and motorway network; M40 J9 is 19.7km away, M4 J13 42km.
