4 bedroom house

A beautiful and historical Grade II listed house dating back to the 16th century set in c.0.5 acre garden on the edge of the city.

With a wealth of character throughout this family home now offers a unique opportunity to be renovated and modernised. The main house comprises an entrance hall, two large reception rooms both with fireplaces and herringbone parquet flooring, breakfast room, kitchen with pantry and ground floor shower room. To the first floor are four bedrooms and a bathroom. The main bedroom is of particular note with its highly ornate plaster ceiling and stone carved fireplace with griffins' heads flanking the arms of St. John's College.

Outside there are lovely spacious gardens with a large ornamental pond. The house is approached via iron gates with an entry phone system.

The house is believed to date back to the 16th century, with major alterations in the 1930's. The house offers an exciting opportunity to breathe new life into what local village folklore suggests was a hunting lodge frequented by Charles I during the Civil War.

North Hinksey Village lies about two miles to the southwest of Oxford and benefits from The Fishes public house, renowned for its fantastic food and picturesque garden, a local Church of England primary school and a small parish Church dedicated to St. Lawrence, which dates back to the 12th century. There are various shortcuts to the city centre from the village, including the popular commuter route “Willow Walk”, which provides access from the west to the city's extensive shopping and recreational facilities. In addition, there is the mainline station providing regular train service to London Paddington in about 52 minutes. The A34 is close by providing access to the M4 and M40 and motorway network.
