OUTSIDE    The approach to the house is via a tree lined private lane and gravelled driveway where there is parking for several cars and additional parking on the other side of the lane. The house enjoys a private and secluded setting within mature grounds extending to approximately 0.9 acres. The front lawn is interspersed with mature trees and a stone wall divides it from the rear garden.
To the rear, the River Cherwell flows south past the property, before joining the Thames at Oxford. The lawned gardens rise up from the river bank, to the house itself which stands in an elevated position. There is a paved terrace which runs along the full length of the house with steps leading to the swimming pool complex. There are large expanses of lawn to all sides with mature trees and shrubs and a small pond flowing down to the river.
Please note we have been informed that the house has never flooded and in 2001 the property was further protected by the Environmental Agency Flood Defence Scheme which includes a protective wall forming the edge of the terrace.

SWIMMING POOL 24'11\" x 14'3\" (7.6m x 4.34m). Adjacent to the house and overlooking the river, the swimming pool is surrounded by a terrace with a southerly aspect and protective walls. The Mediterranean style pool house contains the pump and filtration units and two changing rooms. Please note the swimming pool is not in use and the heater is not currently working, the owners are happy to enter into negotiations to have the pool cleaned and opened. The swimming pool complex could be developed to form a separate annexe (subject to the usual planning consents).
