Set in the heart of the sought-after village of Standlake, this superb four-bedroom detached home has been thoughtfully extended and extensively renovated to a high standard, blending modern design with energy-efficient upgrades and generous living spaces both inside and out.

Originally built in the late 1960s and owned by the current sellers since 2016, the property underwent a significant transformation between 2017 and 2020. A rear extension added a stunning kitchen and orangery-style breakfast area, while a full loft conversion in 2020 created an impressive additional bedroom suite.

The real heart of the home is the kitchen/breakfast room – a beautifully designed space with quartz worktops, integrated appliances, double Neff ovens, wine fridge, and an induction hob. Natural light pours in through electric Velux skylightsand an orangery-style roof, while bi-fold doors open to the landscaped garden. A separate study and a practical utility room with built-in freezer, sink, and access to both the garden and garage complete the ground floor.

There are three well-proportioned bedrooms on the first floor. Bedroom one is a large double with built-in wardrobes and a stylish en suite featuring a double shower, dual basin vanity, underfloor heating, and excellent storage. Bedroom two also includes fitted wardrobes, spotlights, and a cleverly integrated office nook. Bedroom four is a light-filled double with dual aspect windows and blackout blinds. A luxurious family bathroom offers a bath, double shower, built-in storage, and a heated towel rail.

The stunning loft conversion forms a spacious bedroom, complete with dressing area, bespoke wardrobes, eaves storage, and a sleek open-plan en suite with double basin and large walk-in shower. Multiple windows flood this room with light, and it benefits from air conditioning and heat pump climate control.

Outside, the property boasts a large, private rear garden, beautifully landscaped with a generous lawn, mature shrubs, and well-designed entertaining zones including a large patio (2018) and shingled seating areas. There is side access, a log store, outdoor tap, and a garage with power and lighting. The loft space above the garage offers further potential for conversion (subject to permissions).

Key updates include a full rewire, new oil-fired heating system with underfloor heating in the kitchen, a log burner (HETAS certified), new windows, and external rendering completed just a few years ago.

Tech-savvy features such as floor-by-floor temperature control, smart heating, and Gigaclear high-speed internet provide modern convenience, while the property’s efficient air-source heat pump and air conditioning in the loft conversion offer year-round comfort.

About Standlake 

Standlake is a charming, unassuming village located in the heart of the Oxfordshire countryside, offering a delightful blend of rural tranquility and community spirit. Situated about 10 miles west of Oxford, Standlake is surrounded by picturesque fields, meadows, and the gently flowing waters of the River Thames, which winds its way through the village, adding to the serene ambiance of the area.

The village itself is a peaceful tapestry of traditional stone cottages, timber-framed homes, and more modern dwellings, all set against the backdrop of green pastures and ancient woodlands. Standlake retains much of its historical character, with St. Giles' Church, a beautiful Grade I listed building, standing as a central landmark in the village. Its origins can be traced back to the 12th century, and its striking spire is visible for miles around, a testament to the enduring presence of the village through centuries.

A defining feature of Standlake is its proximity to the nearby countryside and wetlands, including the Oxfordshire Wildlife Trust’s Standlake Common Nature Reserve, a haven for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts. The reserve, with its lush reedbeds, lakes, and wildflower meadows, is home to a diverse array of wildlife and provides peaceful walking trails where visitors can immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the area.
