Detached home in sought after city location.
Set within a plot approaching half an acre, a family home located in one of the city's most desirable residential locations. Significantly extended in 2000, the property has accommodation laid out over three storeys briefly composed of five bedrooms, two bath/shower rooms and office to the top two floors, and sitting room, dining room, study, kitchen and cloakroom to the ground floor.
Outside, the property is set back from the road and is screened by mature hedging. A gravelled driveway, bordered by attractive flower and shrub beds, gives parking for several vehicles. There is also a timber built studio building discretely situated within the front garden.
To the rear of house is a large, south facing, paved terrace providing the perfect place for al-fresco entertaining or simply relaxing, with raised shrub beds and an ornamental fish pond. Steps then lead to a section of garden with vegetable beds, an expanse of lawn and a timber built storage shed. A mature hedge and timber rose arch divides this section of garden from a more 'natural' area with mature trees and shrubs, wildflowers and a fishpond. This is a wonderful haven and could be left semi-wild or cultivated to give more formal garden space, and would be a wonderful amenity for children and parents alike. In total, the rear garden extends to a total depth in excess of 400ft (c.122m).
Jack Straws Lane sits within the Headington Hill Conservation Area and has excellent access to the many amenities of Headington including the John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford Brookes University, some of the city's leading private and independent schools and the London/airport bus stops. It is also convenient for the city centre via a very pleasant walk or cycle journey on the Marston cycle path through water meadows and University Parks. The property is also located within 120 yards of an entrance into Milham Ford Park, a delightful open space with pathways, ponds and a children's play park in the grounds of the former Milham Ford School.
