5 bedroom detached house for sale

An opportunity to acquire a striking 5 bedroom detached house with unobstructed views over open fields and the advantage of a versatile detached outbuilding, nestled on the edge of a small private development built in 2008. Approached over a substantial gravelled driveway, Mill Brook house offers an impressive c. 3,161 sq ft of accommodation over 3 floors, with many rooms enjoying a double aspect. The current owners have updated the property, integrating renewable energy sources into its framework via a Sunamp Thermino heat battery system, which ensures instant hot water but also optimizes electricity consumption. Complementing this are German electric radiators, with an A- rating, which heat up rapidly and retain heat, with a hybrid ceramic core.
Stepping inside Mill Brook House, a sizeable entrance hall welcomes you with reception rooms on either side and a central staircase ahead. The sitting room benefits from a wood-burning stove within an exposed brick surround and much natural light through the use of French doors to both sides. The dining room, also equipped with a wood-burning stove, flows seamlessly into the adjacent kitchen. The kitchen/breakfast room itself features built-in units with granite work surfaces and is equipped with a range cooker, integrated appliances and French doors that overlook and open onto the terrace. Additionally, a utility room provides separate access to the garden. The first floor includes three well-proportioned bedrooms, with one en- suite and the family bathroom. On the second floor one will find the primary bedroom, also with an en suite shower room, useful dressing room and a fifth bedroom - both offer sweeping views of the surroundings.
Outside the detached timber clad outbuilding comprises a small garage, store and home office with underfloor heating. Accessed via external stairs is a studio with shower, ideal for a gym, games room or short term guest accommodation depending on need. Ample gravel parking with an EV charger graces the front of the property, while gardens to the side and rear are predominantly laid to lawn and feature a secluded sandstone paved area.
Located in South Oxfordshire and set in open countryside between the villages of Drayton, Milton and Sutton Courtney plus conveniently situated for access to Oxford, Abingdon and the local science parks.
