Seller Insight
Inspired by an architect friend to have their own house designed and built for them, the owners of Peakrevs (the name reflecting an obsession with all things car!) scoured Oxfordshire for the perfect location: A combination of tranquil countryside, stunning views and a village community with easy access to Oxford and London. They found that combination in Holton. Their family home was designed to provide generous accommodation, a feeling of space and light making it perfect for larger parties and smaller, more intimate family gatherings. They also wanted to create wow factors: The generous balconied hall, and windows taking advantage of the breath taking countryside that seems to flow directly from the house. Over time the garden was nurtured as an extension of the house, the focus being on creating somewhere both beautiful and low maintenance. The conservatory provides an idyllic spot to savour the warmth of the sun while being transported by the views extending across fields to the woods in the distance. Binoculars always to hand to enable close ups of deer, herons, partridges, pheasants, jays and woodpeckers. Squirrels are a constant source of entertainment, as are the multitude of garden birds tempted by the feeders generously supplied with a range of treats. Barbeques were a summer fixture for family and friends. Grandchildren delighted in playing ball games, delighting even more in splashing in the stream, that runs along the bottom of the garden, when too exuberantly thrown balls needed retrieving.
A self-contained annexe was added to the main house in the 1980s, providing perfect accommodation for granny: Close enough to ensure peace of mind while maintaining independence and privacy. For the last twenty years the annexe has been successfully let, providing an income while remaining totally un-intrusive allowing all occupants total privacy of co-existence.
Holton itself has a thriving community that has evolved over the years that the family has owned Peakrevs. The village hall was being built at the same time as the house and is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year and is the hub of village life. Anyone moving to the village has the option to attend and participate in the range of events that are on offer: Thursday afternoon teas, film nights, BBQs, celebrations of national events, Parish Council meetings, wi meetings, quiz nights, craft fairs... The Table Tennis Club, going since 1977, was a particular favourite with the vendors. The local bus shelter has also had a new lease of life (unaffected by the fact that the village bus service was re-established earlier this year) and hosts Bring and Take events, an art gallery, and Book Weeks. The monthly magazine brings you up-to-date with news and all up-and-coming events.
