South Hinksey, Oxford - Ref: ARJ/FD

Nestled in the picturesque village of South Hinksey, within the Oxford Ring Road and just a short countryside stroll from the city, this substantial detached family home on St Lawrence Road offers a unique blend of rural tranquillity and urban convenience. The property boasts a generous plot that backs onto open countryside. The large driveway provides ample off-road parking, complemented by an impressive detached stone-built barn. This versatile space has served various purposes, including a home office, teenage den, and hobby room, featuring a cosy log burner and rich history as a former donkey house. The principal house welcomes you with an entrance hall, a cloakroom, and a flexible home office that can double as a single bedroom with its en-suite shower room.

The heart of the home is the full-length sitting and dining room, with double doors leading to the rear garden and front garden access. The substantial kitchen dining room, with its vaulted ceiling, also opens to the garden, creating a bright and airy atmosphere perfect for family gatherings. The ground floor is completed by a notably large utility room.

Spread over the next two floors are four double bedrooms and a family bathroom, with the master bedroom enjoying delightful views over the fields.

The private garden, features a dedicated vegetable plot, extensive lawn area, patio for entertaining, and a substantial detached garage/workshop.

A covered porch area in front of the garage has drying lines allowing for year round drying and the utility room outer door leading to this area is a barn door (split in two). Additionally, the garage is attached to the house and has heating to it via the central heating system for year round usage.

This charming home requires some updating so we are seeking a buyer with the vision to modernise the house to create a striking and substantial home in arguably one of the best locations in Oxford.
