Property Information:
Situated on the very desirable Yarnells Hill and within walking distance of Matthew Arnold School, this family home has been tastefully extended to offer flexible living over three floors. At the front of the house is a substantial Hall and Porch from which access is gained to a ground floor Cloakroom. On the ground floor is a well fitted Kitchen and comfortable Lounge with open fire. With access from the kitchen is a practical Utility Room which with a bit of imagination could be combined with the cloakroom to offer a ground floor bathroom

(subject to planning). The current owners have added a substantial Family Room across the whole back of the house which provides lots more space for a family and offer wonderful views down the garden. The first floor has two double rooms, a smaller third bedroom and a bathroom. A loft conversion gives access to one further bedroom with a shower room next to it. All the rooms at the back of the house enjoy lovely views over the rear garden and from the first and second floors you do have views to Wytham Woods and, from one side window, the dreaming spires of Oxford. The front of the house has ample parking and a garage. The rear garden was been well looked after and is divided into two sections of lawn.
