Property description

57 Ladder Hill in Wheatley, near Oxford, is a unique and quirky architect-designed split-level family home, with six Bedrooms and three Reception Rooms, set on a generous plot adjacent to green belt land, along a private driveway that serves just a handful of properties in a quiet part of the village.

This characterful property really should be seen to be fully appreciated. Spread over multiple split-levels, and being what could colloquially be described as an ‘upside-down’ house, this one was never going to be straight forward to describe; the Living Room with fireplace is on the top floor along with a Guest Bedroom and a WC/Washroom; the Dining Room and Kitchen are located on a split level below; the Master Bedroom and Bathroom on the ground floor along with Conservatory… or, actually, is the ground floor the level below that again, for further Bedrooms, and access into the garden…

Ultimately, this is not a property to be described by way of a staid, text-book style Estate Agent’s ‘walk through’. That would belie the sense of fun, individuality and quirkiness that this fabulous family home has to offer. And that is why, once again, we really would urge the market that this one needs to be seen to be fully appreciated. We would explain that what this property offers is character, style, light, and a sense of space; it also offers practical benefits such as good storage, a separate Utility Room, a Master Bedroom that has En-Suite Bathroom, built in Wardrobes to all bedrooms, double garage and ample driveway parking, gas central heating and double glazing – and many other features that we could roll off here but which, in our opinion, nevertheless fall short in telling the full story that this property has to offer.

And none of the above yet makes mention of the rolling gardens – landscaped in fact by a Chelsea Flower Show Bronze Medallist, once upon a time, for a nice bit of trivia… and admittedly, gardens that due to the topography of the plot lend themselves to sitting and admiring from the various decked areas, rather than to playing a game of football on.

Wheatley is a well-served village to the east of Oxford heading towards the historic market town of Thame, providing great access into town but crucially also to the A- and M40 to access London, Birmingham and elsewhere. Shotover Woods and other superb countryside is on the doorstep, and the village itself offers local school, shops, petrol station and pubs, as well as local business park and part of Oxford Brookes university campus. All in all, a great pad for commuting into Oxford and London, whilst enjoying village life in a quiet location.
