SituationNoke is a picturesque village just East of Oxford, approximately 9 miles from J8 of the M40. The new Oxford Parkway station at Water Eaton (which is 5.2 miles from the house) offers direct trains to London Marylebone (56 minutes) and trains also go from the nearby station at Islip which is only 1.7 miles from the house. Islip benefits from two pubs and a primary school. Noke is reached along a no-through road and comprises many attractive period houses and cottages, as well as a church. The Otmoor Nature reserve is at the far end of the village which boasts a number of attractive walks and rides. Oxford provides an extensive range of shopping and transport facilities, as well as many excellent schools including The Dragon, St Edwards, Oxford High School, Summerfield’s, Magdalen College School and Headington School to name but a few. The area is also convenient for the Abingdon schools, Radley, Stowe, Eton, Harrow and Wycombe Abbey. Day to day shopping and supermarkets can be found in Summertown and Headington. The well-known retail outlet of Bicester Village is within easy reach, together with the popular Soho Farmhouse. Sporting facilities include Polo at Kirtlington, golf at the North Oxford Golf Club, Kirtlington Golf Club, and The Oxfordshire GolfClub at Thame.

The propertyHillside House is a most attractive detached villa which was substantially renovated and refurbished in 2012 to offer beautifully proportioned, well presented, light and airy accommodation over two floors.

The property itself has mullioned windows, ornate gables and lies in almost 3 acres of mature gardens. There are numerous interesting features to note including the cast iron veranda, the beautiful copper light window to the stair tower, lovely Georgian doors and frames, oak flooring, attractive fireplaces and panelling. Outside, there are stunning gardens and grounds with York stone paving, stone walling, beautiful trees and planting and a detached renovated annexe.

AccommodationThe accommodation is arranged over two floors, with fantastic proportions and well flowing reception rooms. The large ‘L’ shaped kitchen is the hub of the house with a new Aims Aga and traditional units and larder. The utility room and boot room are adjacent to the kitchen and have external access.

Upstairs, there are 2 bedroom suites, 3 further bedrooms and a family bathroom and additional cloakroom.

The house is not listed, the scope to extend and create a bigger kitchen or go into the roof to create further bedrooms is viable and straightforward.

AnnexeTo the rear of the house is an annexe providing ancillary or further guest accommodation. It comprises an entrance hall, living room, and study with plumbing for kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. There is also planning permission in place for a second bedroom, subject to the usual planning requirements.
