Farndon Road, Oxford, Oxfordshire, OX2

Impressive family home with parking and landscaped south facing garden.

Description

Built in 1880, a striking townhouse which has been extended and enhanced over the years. With a around 3172 sq ft arranged over four floors, it provides excellent family living and entertaining space, with the feeling of light and space enhanced by large sash windows and high ceilings, particularly on the lower ground floor.
The lower ground floor has been carefully extended to provide a superb kitchen/dining/garden room. With French doors to the terrace and garden, it is ideal for entertaining and family gatherings. There is also a useful study to the front, together with a cloakroom, understairs cupboard and external door to the side.
On the upper ground floor, the welcoming drawing room has a large bay window to the rear, fireplace and French doors with steps down to the garden. There is also an attractive sitting room with fireplace.
On the upper floors are five good bedrooms, family bathroom, shower room and cloakroom. There is also a useful boarded loft space.
The driveway has ample off street parking and gated side access. The striking landscaped south facing garden is approached either at the side of the house, the garden room, or from the drawing room. It has a central lawn flanked by gravelled paths. The garden is walled and stocked with flower, plant and shrub borders, and a number of trees, including Mulberry, Walnut and Holly. There are also espaliered lime trees to both sides and at the rear of the garden. To the rear is a raised terrace, ideal for al fresco dining, and a timber summerhouse which is screened by an evergreen hedge.
