5 bed detached house for sale

Bagley Wood Road, Oxford OX1

An impressive and highly individual detached residence occupying a wonderfully private setting on one of Kennington’s most desirable roads. Surrounded by extensive enchanted gardens with established trees, the property combines the character and proportions of a period home with beautifully considered contemporary interiors, creating a particularly special family home within easy reach of Oxford.

Set well back behind a gated gravelled driveway, the house has a distinctive architectural presence, with an attractive steeply pitched roofline and characterful elevations. Inside, the accommodation is both substantial and versatile, with a wonderful sense of space throughout. Original and period inspired details sit comfortably alongside a carefully curated modern finish, including rich timber floors, elegant fireplaces, traditional style radiators and an excellent standard of kitchen and bathroom fittings.

At the heart of the home is a superb kitchen, finished with dark cabinetry, brass fittings, stone worktops and a large central island providing generous preparation and informal dining space. The reception accommodation is equally impressive, with a series of beautifully proportioned rooms offering excellent flexibility for both family life and entertaining. The principal sitting and dining space enjoys an abundance of natural light, garden views and direct access outside, while further reception rooms provide ideal spaces for more informal family living, a study, playroom or snug.

The gardens are a particularly important feature of the property. Extensive lawns extend away from the house and are framed by magnificent mature trees, established planting and areas of woodland, giving the grounds an exceptional sense of privacy and tranquillity. A generous paved terrace immediately adjoining the house provides an excellent space for outdoor dining and entertaining. To the front and side, the sweeping gravelled driveway offers plentiful parking and leads to a substantial garage block providing extensive garaging and storage.

Accommodation

The ground floor is approached through a welcoming entrance hall and provides an impressive range of reception accommodation. There is a separate reception room positioned towards the front of the house, a family room, a further sitting room and a particularly generous sitting and dining room overlooking the gardens. The latter creates a superb entertaining space, with French doors opening directly onto the terrace and grounds beyond.

The kitchen is a real focal point, offering extensive cabinetry, integrated appliances and a substantial island, with space for informal dining. A cloakroom, boiler room and useful ancillary areas complete the ground floor accommodation, with internal access connecting through towards the garaging.

The first floor provides four well proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly generous and enjoys a wide outlook over the surrounding greenery, together with extensive fitted wardrobes. The remaining bedrooms offer excellent flexibility for family, guests or home working.

The bathroom accommodation has been finished with considerable attention to detail. One bathroom features a freestanding bath, separate glazed shower and striking botanical wall covering, while the second has a calmer contemporary finish with a bath, twin basins and brass detailing. Please note that the fifth bedroom has been converted into one of these bathrooms.

The attached garage block is exceptionally substantial, providing excellent space for multiple vehicles alongside storage, hobbies or workshop use.
