About this property

An executive five bedroom detached family home with a double garage on an exclusive cul-de-sac of just twelve properties in the desirable Oxfordshire village of Chesterton, which is a short drive from excellent commuter links to London, Oxford, and Birmingham.

Melwood House is a substantial detached home in the well regarded Woodlands development and is one of just twelve similar properties built in the early 1990s to a high specification.

The entrance hallway leads to the kitchen/breakfast room. Fitted with a good number of floor and eye level units, it also has plenty of space for a table and chairs making it ideal for casual dining with friends and family.

The sitting room can be accessed both from the hall and the kitchen/breakfast room. With a window to the front and two pairs of french doors that open out to the rear garden, this room makes for the perfect space for large family gatherings throughout the year.

A second reception room to the front of the property is currently utilised as a family room but would also lend itself to being used as a formal dining room or large study.

A useful utility room with a door to the garden and a separate W.C completes the ground floor accommodation.

To the first floor, there are five bedrooms. The master bedroom has fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room. The second bedroom also has an en-suite with a shower and bath. A family bathroom completes the accommodation.

Outside this impressive family home, the rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with a patio area that is ideal for Al-fresco dining and BBQs. There is plenty of space for the keen gardener to grow vegetables along with space for children to kick a ball.

To the front of the property, there is a double garage and an attractive stone wall enclosing the driveway that provides parking for numerous vehicles.

The village of Chesterton is well served with a pub 'The Red Cow' a Hotel and Restaurant 'Chesterton Hotel', Bicester Hotel, Golf & Spa, known as one of the finest residential hospitality venues in Oxfordshire and the Cotswolds.

There are a number of good local independent schools in the tri-county area including Bloxham, Oxford High, Beachborough and Stowe.
