Cumnor Hill, Oxford, Oxfordshire, OX2

A detached house set within 0.7 acres of enviable gardens on the western side of Cumnor Hill.

Enjoying a striking back drop overlooking its sizeable mature garden, the house follows a conventional layout over two floors with a welcoming reception hall leading to the principal reception rooms and a study. A sitting room spans most of the rear, with and adjacent dining room that flows into a well appointed kitchen, with a conservatory off. There is also a utility room through which a useful and versatile space links with the main house but also has direct access from the drive so would work well as a home office, workshop or studio. Upstairs there are four well proportioned bedrooms, a bathroom and shower room.

The house is approached by an in and out driveway affording parking for several cars. The parcel of land extends to 0.7 acres with a large lawn bordered by tall trees that falls away from the house towards the far boundary. The gardens are larger than most, with an l shape that extends behind the neighbours garden at the far end. There is also a sizeable terrace that spans the rear of the house with steps leading down to the lawn.

The area is well serviced with schools, being within the catchment for North Hinksey Church of England Primary School and the extremely popular Matthew Arnold Secondary School. It is a 15-minute drive to Summer Fields School, Dragon School, Oxford High School, St. Edward’s School, Magdalen College School, and also Abingdon-upon-Thames. Oxford railway station is a 5-minute car ride and provides a mainline rail link into London Paddington in approximately one hour.
