Description

Welcome to our beautiful home. This recently completed architect designed house offers spacious, modern, and comfortable accommodation. With four bedrooms, two bathrooms (1 en-suite), a large kitchen/dining/living area, a TV snug, and a large office there is plenty of room for everyone. As you step in the door the triple-height atrium at the entrance has an immediate wow-factor. On the ground floor there is a TV room ("the snug"), an office room with desk space for at least three people to work (or just be creative), a WC, and a utility room with washer and dryer. Through to the back you step down (past the indoor swing!) into an enormous open-plan kitchen/dining/living area with fifteen foot high ceilings and sliding door access onto the patio. The kitchen has twin ovens, double-width fridge freezer with French doors, dishwasher, and extra wide induction hob with built in extractor. There is huge quartz topped island that can sit six people. At the other end of this space is a living area featuring a sit-in oriel window, and a home cinema system with projector and surround sound. On the first floor there are four double bedrooms, with one 'jack & Jill' en-suite bathroom that can be shared by two rooms, and one large family bathroom. At the front of the house is parking for three cars, and a bike shed (bikes will be available for use). At the rear is a 90 foot garden, with a large patio and BBQ for entertaining. At the back of the garden is another seating area ("gin corner") with a fire-pit. The house is triple-glazed with electrically operated Velux windows in the kitchen and master bathroom. Blenheim Drive is a very desirable part of North Oxford, being perfectly placed for all amenities. The house is in a cul-de-sac, and therefore in an extremely quiet location.
