Cumnor Hill, Oxford OX2

A beautifully remodelled family home with exceptional space, flexibility and a lovely verdant outlook.

This impressive detached home on Cumnor Hill combines contemporary design with practical family living. Extensively extended and refurbished, it now offers around 2,700 sq ft of stylish and versatile accommodation.

The entrance hall sets the tone for what’s to come: Bright, open and finished with understated quality. The ground floor offers two inviting reception rooms and a further room currently used as a study but equally suited as a ground-floor bedroom with its own en-suite.

At the rear, the home opens out into a stunning open-plan kitchen and dining space, the true heart of the property. A sleek central island, integrated appliances and walls of bi-folding glass create an effortlessly sociable area that connects perfectly with the garden and the views beyond.

Upstairs, the principal suite is a sanctuary in itself, complete with two walk-in wardrobes, modern en-suite and a private balcony. Two further double bedrooms and a generous family bathroom complete the first floor, with additional en-suite bedrooms available in the annexe and main house.

Outside, the home enjoys a peaceful, elevated position with a landscaped rear garden, large patio and double garage with ample parking. It’s the perfect blend of modern living and a semi-rural feel. It’s private, leafy and yet only ten/fifteen minute cycle from Oxford city.
