SELLER INSIGHT
Parklands Manor offers its residents an almost unique combination of security and accessibility to all the facilities of Oxford and its surroundings. Located within the Greenbelt, there is almost no risk of adjoining development, and the ancient woodlands beside the house create a wonderful sense of living in nature. It is a truly a safe haven for children and dogs alike.
Sheep graze at the rear of the garden in summer and breakfasts on the patio are a highlight, as are local walks through woods and fields, accessed directly from the estate. With a large out of the way corner plot, with lots of carparking, one can either appreciate the privacy afforded, or join easily with local residents to enjoy all that Parklands has to offer.
With five spacious bedrooms, a flexible ground floor and natural light flooding the house, it is an uplifting place to be. A feeling of quality pervades. The ability to extend the property only adds further opportunity to what is already an amazing, almost brand new, family home.*
