" A large (1,500 sq ft) four bed overlooking Blenheim Estate land, and including a huge loft ripe for conversion (STPP). Spacious, bright rooms, large kitchen/ diner, separate dining room, plus an en-suite.

Few properties in this area can offer this mix of affordability, condition, space and convenience. A great family home, with further potential. Bladon is an ancient village which has gradually grown over the years not least due to its links to Blenheim Palace, the related sawmills and farmland. Many of the properties are stone-built and dating back several hundred years, ensuring the village has much charm and feels unspoilt. The village itself contains a good pub, an eleventh century church (where many of the Spencer-Churchill family are buried, most famously Winston Churchill) and a tea room, and a wider range of amenities are available within a few miles in Woodstock and Long Hanborough. The school catchments are excellent with a choice of well regarded Primary and Secondary schools, plus various private. Road access also very good with the A44 offering fast access back to Oxford. Easy access by rail to all points of the compass is provided via Oxford Parkway to London Marylebone and Long Hanborough to Paddington. And to top it all, the village is surrounded by delightful farmland. Manor Road is a quiet lane containing mostly three and four bed houses. Number 23 is one of a small handful that are roomy, well lit, and have pretty good garden space in a village where such a thing is at a premium, with a quite stunning view over Blenheim Estate land to the rear. Number 23 has been very well updated by our owners, resulting in a house that today really shines. Nothing needs doing, it's all very pleasant and very comfy, with modern fixtures. But there is still the opportunity to improve/ enlarge if you wish. Considering the 'Woodstock premium' ensures absolutely nothing near here is cheap, this is quite possibly the best value for money family house in the local area. The front door opens into a lovely bright hallway with generous space and a view right through the kitchen to the rear garden and fields. Two doors open into a large store cupboard and the cloak room respectively. The latter has been refitted recently hence is in impeccable condition, modern and tiled throughout with a stylish suite and a chrome towel rail. On the right the stairs are attractive, rising to the right and doubling back halfway up, a style that adds character. The door to the left enters the dining room, a good size and well proportioned with a further large store cupboard on the side wall, and the window to the front provides good light as well as overlooking the lane and front garden. At the rear of the hall, the living room is surprisingly large and very inviting. The first impression is of the wonderful view! Double doors out and a further window really do make the most of the far reaching outlook across both the garden and the fields beyond. But the room itself is also a major asset, providing space for pretty much any size of suite with room to spare. Next door, the kitchen is modern, recently refitted with ample units running down three sides and a further door and window to the garden. But in addition, to the near end the space is more than enough for a breakfast table and four or five chairs, so it's a very practical layout. Upstairs there is a broad landing, and further light cleverly comes from the loft through the overhead panel. The two larger bedrooms are to the rear, enjoying even more of that wonderful view. Of the two, the largest is a significant size and also comes equipped with a modern en-suite shower room. Next door the bedroom is equipped with a wardrobe, and provides generous space. The two smaller bedrooms are more compact but both are doubles, and both have fitted storage. Serving all four is a separate bathroom and wc - a rare item. The bathroom has been refitted, with a shower over a wide bath with curved screen, and there is also a chrome rail. In addition, it is important to know that the loft is VAST! The height and width are such that, subject to permissions, this could be converted to provide really significant extra accommodation if needed. If you would like our assistance with further investigation, please ask. Outside, the space is very cleverly designed. To the front a vehicle turning area, surrounded by some very pretty plants, is walled and set back from the lane, with garden behind it and a block of three garages (of which one is 'ours') which also include high roofs hence provide space for storage. On the right hand side of the house the passageway is a dedicated entrance to just the rear garden for this house. It leads to a lovely garden neatly enclosed by fencing to both sides and a pretty stone wall to the rear. Mostly lawn, there are some attractive borders with an array of plants, and there is also a tree to the rear. Behind the house the terrace runs the full width, a perfect space for enjoying the South facing aspect. It all adds up to a lovely outside space. NB we are told that other neighbours have purchased extra garden from Blenheim Estates, if this might be of interest please ask and we will investigate further. Directions Historic location
