Fox Lane, Boars Hill, Oxford, OX13

Located on the edge of sought-after Boars Hill, Blagrove Lodge is a beautifully renovated country residence with separate workshop/office and barn set in just under 5 acres of landscaped gardens and grounds. This immaculately presented home offers both charm and practicality, with a focus on quality craftsmanship and eco-conscious design.

Completely renovated in 2010, the house benefits from all-new wiring, plumbing, and drainage systems. In 2022, the kitchen was stylishly refitted with bespoke solid oak cabinetry and birch ply carcasses, reflecting a sustainable ethos. It is comprehensively equipped with premium appliances, including a Fisher & Paykel fridge, Miele dishwasher, and Mercury range cooker with gas hob and twin electric ovens.

The sitting room offers a warm, welcoming space, centred around a Contura wood-burning stove. There is underfloor heating in the bathrooms, while the current biomass boiler system offers an energy-efficient solution, with a straightforward conversion potential to gas if desired. The boot room/utility room benefits from solid walnut panelling and heated slate floor.

The main bedroom suite enjoys spectacular views across the gardens and grounds, which extend to just under 5 acres. A thoughtfully designed dressing room complements the suite, fitted with solid oak cabinetry and birch ply interiors. Three bedrooms on the first floor benefit from double aspect windows while the bedrooms on the top floor have uninterrupted countryside views over the rear garden and beyond.

Externally, Blagrove Lodge is equally impressive. The property was converted from agricultural to residential use approximately ten years ago and has been carefully curated since. The large green oak building in the garden provides a multitude of opportunities from artists studio-office or extra living space.The garden is well-stocked and features a mature orchard with apple, quince, damson, plum, hazelnut, mulberry, pear, walnut, and cherry trees. The wider grounds have been planted under the guidance of a tree specialist, resulting in an exceptional and rare collection including Ginkgo, Wellingtonia, Cedar of Lebanon, Serbian Spruce, Lombardy Poplar, Scots Pine, Holm Oak, and Persian Ironwood, among many others.

There is generous parking to the rear of the house, with two separate entrances, and a lapsed planning permission for the log barn offers future potential (subject to renewed consent).

Blagrove Lodge offers a tranquil rural setting while being conveniently close to Oxford, just under 5 miles away. Boars Hill is renowned for its natural beauty, making it a favoured location for families and professionals alike.
