A hidden gem in the Old Headington Conservation Area
Exceptional 1920s family home, designed by the British architect P D Hepworth, situated in one of the city’s most sought-after areas. Approached via a discrete private driveway and gravelled courtyard, this elegant residence with whitewashed walls and decorative shutters, provides substantial 4000 sq ft character accommodation.
It is set in richly planted mature 0.65 acre gardens with the potential to remodel, refurbish and extend the house, subject to the necessary building and planning consents. The accommodation arranged over two floors currently comprises generous entrance hall, fine drawing room with open fireplace, fitted bookcases and three sets of ornate French doors, overlooking formal gardens of neatly clipped box and yew hedging. There are three further reception rooms, kitchen, breakfast room and two cloakrooms on the ground floor, and five bedrooms, two bathrooms and a laundry room on the first floor.
Decorative pathways wind through the extensive Anglo-Italian style gardens, which have featured in numerous publications and on screen. The property is well placed for the Headington hospitals, including the John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford Brookes University, a number of the city’s leading private and independent schools and the London/airport bus stops.
