Ingleby Paddocks, Enslow, OX5

Constructed in 2007, Hawthorn House occupies a private development of just seven distinctive homes, incorporating design elements of traditional barn conversions and agricultural architecture, blending harmoniously into the semi-rural landscape, with contemporary living in mind. Superbly positioned in the well-connected hamlet of Enslow, on the banks of the River Cherwell and the Oxford Cannel, just outside of the historic market town of Woodstock, and offering ease of access to Oxford and London by road and rail.  

Approached via a private driveway with adjoining front garden. Once inside, a bright entrance hall opens into a large kitchen/dining room and separate reception room, both spaces enjoy beautiful views down the length of the garden via large, glazed casement doors. Double doors seamlessly connect each room, giving a wonderful open plan family living arrangement with the flexibility of separating each space. The reception room is dual aspect and spans the depth of the ground floor (approximately 24ft). The ‘Shaker’ style timber kitchen is complimented by a large island, butlers sink, range cooker and a plethora of storage and surface space. There’s an adjoining utility room with direct access to the rear garden and the front entrance hall. Additionally, there’s a ground floor office/hobby room, an integral double garage and WC.

The first floor is separated into two sections. To the right of the plan is a family bathroom and three double bedrooms, including a principal suite with an en suite bathroom, dressing area and fitted storage. The second section can be accessed via a separate staircase and extends over the double garage. There’s a fourth double bedroom, en suite shower and large snug/office which would suit a variety of uses, perfect for guests, older children, multigenerational living, or a potential self-contained annex (subject to the usual permissions) with its own entrance hall and external door which can be closed off from the main house.

Externally, there is a front driveway and garden. The rear west-facing garden is beautifully landscaped and measures circa 80ft in length. At the centre of the garden stands an attractive timber pergola adorned with mature plants, perfect for entertaining. There is a decked and paved dining area off the house and a separate section at the top of the garden with a small orchard, raised vegetable beds, a greenhouse and a further lounging/entertaining area.
