£950k 3 bedroom Oxfordshire country home. Damion Merry Oxford luxury estate agent

Fine & Country Oxford Ivy Dene, High Street, Charlton on Otmoor, Kidlington, Oxfordshire, OX5 2UG “The location was a big attraction when I first came to view the property 21 years ago as it really is the best of both worlds here. We’re surrounded by nature with the Otmoor Bird Reserve being just behind the house, yet everything I need is easily accessible which was also part of the charm,” recalls the owner. “Originally a small, 2-bedroom property, I could see that it had great potential, so I began a renovation project which included extensions to the side and rear of the property, as well as the construction of three outbuildings. The additional space has given us further bedrooms, as well as a playroom / tv room and extra bathrooms. I use one of the outbuildings as a home office and it’s a lovely room with a vaulted ceiling.” “There’s a very nice sense of community here and we have many friends within the village. We do a safari dinner at Christmas which is always a lot of fun and the village pub always has the same friendly faces. I enjoy running and there are many scenic routes to take, as well as local walks for all abilities. It’s a comfortable walk to the pub in the next village where you can enjoy a pint before heading back home. We don’t have a shop in the village but the farmer sells his organic produce using an honesty box which is a lovely feature.” “The walled garden is very private and peaceful. It’s a great space for relaxing and entertaining, and we’ve hosted many garden parties here with friends and family. We enjoy sitting by the fish pond with a cup of coffee and it’s the perfect spot to sit and catch the evening sun. The walnut tree is nearly 100 years old and is an integral part of the garden.” “I tried to keep the characterful features where possible during the renovation project and the old bedrooms upstairs have been converted in to a spacious landing with a vaulted ceiling that showcases the original beams. We also added an orangery that perfectly connects the old with the new and it’s a tranquil space to relax and spend time listening to music or just looking out over the garden. The sitting room in the old part of the cottage is wonderful on a winter evening when the fire is roaring away.”
