5 DESCRIPTION Woodlands is a beautiful Edwardian family house with origins dating to Constructed of brick beneath a pitched tile roof, the property is a classic example of the architecture of the era and has many features associated with the Arts and Crafts movement of the time. There is an impressive entrance with a stone porch, a folly turret wing and terrace with stone balustrade and steps to the gardens internally are high ceilings, original fireplaces, deep skirting boards, ceiling mouldings, feature oak stair case, large bay windows and original parquet flooring. Accommodation lends itself perfectly to family living and entertaining. A large hallway opens to the dining room with fireplace with gas fire, bay window and French doors opening on to the terrace. There is a 30ft drawing room, with bay windows overlooking the gardens, open fire place, original panelling and French doors to the conservatory (in need of repair). The study, with windows in the turret wing, could alternatively be used as a less formal family sitting room depending on needs. The kitchen with original Edwardian dresser has a Britannia range oven, work island and delightful views over the gardens. There is a utility room, with Belfast sink, a pantry and a further rear service area room. On the first floor, the landing is wide and, with a large feature window on the staircase, lovely and bright. The principal bedroom overlooks the gardens, there are two further large double bedrooms (one currently used as a study) and two singe bedrooms as well as a shower room and larger family bathroom. From the rear service area a separate staircase rises to what was most probably the staff accommodation with 3 smaller bedrooms. A private drive leads to ample off road parking. A former coach house and stables, in need of repair, offer scope to be renovated and adapted to create garaging, or alternatively converted to ancillary accommodation, office from home or a gym, subject to relevant consents. The gardens and woodland setting of the property are arguably its most stunning feature. With formal lawned gardens, partitioned with beech hedges, there is a terrace with steps to gardens below, a natural pond and, as its name suggests, Woodlands has the most magical private woods, with ancient oak trees,heavenly bluebells and a tree house, it is a haven for wildlife. Woodlands is perfect for those needing access to the city of Oxford, Abingdon and beyond, but who cherish natural woodland grounds and all it has to offer.
