An imposing stone-built period home that has been carefully extended to provide flexible accommodation, with a stunning rear garden in the highly desirable Oxfordshire village of Stratton Audley.
Upon entering West House you are welcomed into a spacious hallway, which sets the tone for this stunning family home. There are an abundance of period features throughout, solid wood flooring, high ceilings and large windows to mention a few.
The Drawing room is an elegant room that is filled with natural light and is perfect for large family gatherings. The Dining room is to the front of the property and has original Parquet flooring and a pretty fireplace.
The Kitchen/breakfast room is to the rear of the property and has a large larder to store all those useful kitchen items, a good number of cream units complimented by granite work-surfaces, and access to a small porch leading out to the side garden, which is perfect for Wellington boots.
The current vendors have carefully created a utility area that is separated from the Kitchen, whilst retaining the open plan feel of the entire room. A spiral staircase leads to the first floor and the Sitting room.
More recently a stunning Orangery has been added to the rear of the property and enjoys views over the extensive rear gardens.
To the first floor, there are three large double bedrooms, all with high ceilings and fitted wardrobes, each one also benefits from views to the front over paddock land.
There is a large family bathroom and a separate shower room on this floor.
A spiral staircase leads from the utility area to the first floor into a lovely sitting room that is light and spacious, perfect for relaxing evenings, somewhere for the teenagers to escape to or to provide additional accommodation! The current vendors have created a useful study area, which also provides access through to the main landing and bedrooms.
The second floor has flexible accommodation, it has the potential to be a teenagers "Den" with a double bedroom, dressing room/ sitting room and lots of storage space.
Outside the property has beautiful gardens, a large patio area for outside entertaining leads on to the first part of the garden, this area is mainly laid to lawn, bordered by colourful shrubs and mature trees and enclosed by a stone wall, making it safe for small children and dogs alike.
Stone pillars and a pretty wrought iron gate lead you through to a "secret garden" a tranquil place with a large expanse of cut lawn enclosed by a mature hedge and stone walls, enjoy the best family parties and afternoon cricket, or just somewhere to relax after a long day at work.
To the front of the property there is a tandem length garage and a very useful store. The gravel driveway provides parking for several vehicles and wrought iron gates completely enclose the property, making this a true escape to the country family home.
