Pound Lane, Upton, Didcot, Oxfordshire, OX11

Dating from the 1930's with more recent extensions, this most attractive detached property is ideally situated within the village close to countryside walks and road and rail links with Didcot Station (London Paddington) 3 miles away being ideal for a London commute. The house is complemented by a detached garage with studio above and most attractive mature landscaped gardens.

Recently updated and extended, this superb family home provides spacious, well-proportioned accommodation arranged over two floors with the added benefit of planning permission to convert the attic. The ground floor provides excellent family living and entertaining space, with three interconnecting reception rooms overlooking the rear garden: a double aspect sitting room, dining room, and a spacious open plan kitchen/breakfast/family room forming the heart of the house and providing a perfect everyday living area with wood burning stove and French doors to the garden. The fitted kitchen with Aga has a larder off with a good-sized utility/boot room in addition. A cloakroom is arranged off the entrance hall along with the study, which opens to the garden at the side. At first floor level are five double bedrooms (2 en-suite) and the family bathroom. The principal bedroom with en-suite bathroom, is a particularly light and attractive room enjoying an outlook over the rear garden.

In addition to the main house, the detached double garage is currently used as gym on the ground floor with a sink, cloakroom and bi-fold doors opening to the parterre garden. A studio with an abundance of natural light on the first floor, also provides an ideal home office.

Complementing the house, the mature walled gardens which are predominantly arranged at the rear of the house enjoying a South/Easterly aspect, provide a particularly attractive setting with a large terrace leading off the family room. Arranged on two levels, there are a variety of mature borders, shrubs and trees, an attractive ornamental pond and a vegetable garden on the lower level with gravelled paths and raised beds. To the side of the house is an enclosed parterre garden which is enjoyed from the study and annexe/studio. A gated gravel driveway at the front of the house provides parking for several vehicles.
