6 bed detached house for sale

Butts Road, Horspath, Oxford, Oxfordshire OX33

This Grade II listed house sits in an elevated position in the village, and from the garden, there are far reaching views over the surrounding countryside.

Internally, the house is arranged over four floors, including a cellar, and there is considerable period detail throughout with exposed timbers and beams, stone walls and open fireplaces. The ground floor consists of two reception rooms, a study, a WC and the kitchen at one end, and from the hall, there are steps down to the cellar. On the first floor, there are 3 bedrooms, with an arrangement having the flexibility of the third bedroom either being incorporated in the main house or being part of the annex. This annex is accessed from the garden terrace and provides an additional kitchen, dining and sitting room and a further downstairs shower and wc. The second floor provides two further bedrooms.

The annex is fully functional with gas central heating, plumbing and drainage. However, the main house requires alterations to be made to upgrade the existing heating system.

The gardens are mostly laid to lawn with a stream on one boundary and are gently sloping. From the top of the garden there are lovely views. The house offers a rare opportunity to purchase a distinctive period house with large gardens close to Oxford.

Horspath is a historic village and civil parish in South Oxfordshire, situated approximately 3.5 miles east of Oxford city centre and nestled on the slopes of Shotover Hill. Surrounded by green belt land, it sits just outside the Oxford city boundary and has excellent access to the city, and the ring road connecting to the A34 and M40.

Within the village, there is the Horspath Hub, which hosts community activities and a Friday morning Post Office outreach, and the separate Horspath Village Hall. The village is home to the Oxford Brewery and Taproom, located at Coopers Yard, alongside traditional dining options like The Gurkha Palace (operating out of The Chequers Inn). There are the Village Stores on Church Road and the Horspath Service Station. Primary education is provided locally at the Church of England Primary School, and for sports, there is the Athletics and Sports Ground and the Cricket Club. The area is popular for outdoor tracking, local trail walks up Shotover, and hosting the weekly Horspath parkrun.
