Bedroom two also includes fitted wardrobes, spotlights, and a cleverly integrated office nook. Bedroom four is a light-filled double with dual aspect windows and blackout blinds. A luxurious family bathroom offers a bath, double shower, built-in storage, and a heated towel rail.

The stunning loft conversion forms a spacious bedroom, complete with dressing area, bespoke wardrobes, eaves storage, and a sleek open-plan en suite with double basin and large walk-in shower. Multiple windows flood this room with light, and it benefits from air conditioning and heat pump climate control.

Outside, the property boasts a large, private rear garden, beautifully landscaped with a generous lawn, mature shrubs, and well-designed entertaining zones including a large patio (2018) and shingled seating areas. There is side access, a log store, outdoor tap, and a garage with power and lighting. The loft space above the garage offers further potential for conversion (subject to permissions).

Key updates include a full rewire, new oil-fired heating system with underfloor heating in the kitchen, a log burner (hetas certified), new windows, and external rendering completed just a few years ago.

About Standlake

Standlake is a charming, unassuming village located in the heart of the Oxfordshire countryside, offering a delightful blend of rural tranquility and community spirit. Situated about 10 miles west of Oxford, Standlake is surrounded by picturesque fields, meadows, and the gently flowing waters of the River Thames, which winds its way through the village, adding to the serene ambiance of the area.

The village itself is a peaceful tapestry of traditional stone cottages, timber-framed homes, and more modern dwellings, all set against the backdrop of green pastures and ancient woodlands. Standlake retains much of its historical character, with St. Giles' Church, a beautiful Grade I listed building, standing as a central landmark in the village. Its origins can be traced back to the 12th century, and its striking spire is visible for miles around, a testament to the enduring presence of the village through centuries.

A defining feature of Standlake is its proximity to the nearby countryside and wetlands, including the Oxfordshire Wildlife Trust’s Standlake Common Nature Reserve, a haven for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts. The reserve, with its lush reedbeds, lakes, and wildflower meadows, is home to a diverse array of wildlife and provides peaceful walking trails where visitors can immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the area.
