Paddock Brow is a much loved family home built by the current owners on the site of an older house, as such it sits in a mature landscape in this most sought-after location. The carefully thought-out accommodation is laid out over three floors with the large semi open-plan living area being particularly appealing. The lay-out can be seen on the floor plans. The more contemporary extension is of architectural merit and whilst currently used as an annexe is easily incorporated into the main house. The whole house takes full advantage of its position and southerly aspect with large windows giving much natural light.

This property has 1.3 acres of land.

Outside

The house is approached via a gravel drive which widens to provide ample parking. To the rear of the house is a raised south-facing deck with steps leading to the garden. These are mature with numerous shrubs and trees, wide lawns and an orchard. At the bottom of the garden is a gate leading to a foot path giving access to lovely local walks. There is also a garden 2 roomed home office, with WC. In all about 1.3 acres.

Situation

Boars Hill is a sought after residential area, within the green belt, south west of historic Oxford. Predominantly made up of private roads with substantial family houses on large plots. Lying in an elevated position above the Vale of the White Horse, it enjoys wonderful walks and some of the best views of the city and its spires. Much of the open space is managed and protected by the Oxford Preservation Trust. Local amenities are found in the neighbouring village of Wootton, with more comprehensive facilities in Abingdon and Oxford. Boars Hill is also well located for an excellent range of state and independent schools for all ages in Oxford and Abingdon, with Chandlings and Cothill being particularly local. The nearby arterial route of the A34 gives access to the M4 (J13) to the south and the M40 (J9) to the north. Regular train services to London run either from Didcot, Oxford or Oxford Parkway.
