Boasting a design that perfectly marries modern aesthetics and functional comfort, this residence offers a truly luxurious living experience.

Ash Trees stands as a prime residence set back from the road approached by a long drive and is an illustration of contemporary design in the form of a modern, detached five-bedroom residence with the advantage of a one-bedroom separate annex, large gardens, and tennis court. Ash Trees occupies a central position within the charming Oxfordshire village of Brize Norton; this property truly shines. Its grandeur is evident through the spacious living spread across two floors, creating an impressive abode that captures the essence of modern luxury living.

Ground Floor Accommodation

The ground floor welcomes you with a sense of comfort and sophistication. A cozy living room featuring a wood burner offers serene views of the rear garden and the tennis court beyond, creating a warm and inviting ambiance. The heart of the home unfolds with a spacious open-plan kitchen and breakfast area, characterized by its stunning design complete with an island. Through elegant bi-fold doors, this space seamlessly connects to the mature garden, creating a harmonious indoor-outdoor flow. Additionally, a separate dining room, a practical boot/utility room, and a cloakroom are all conveniently accessed from the impressive entrance hall, enhancing the functionality and allure of this remarkable property.

SELLER INSIGHT

We knew we wanted to buy the property before we’d even set foot inside as it was love at first sight for us. Set back from the road and positioned at the end of a long driveway, Ash Trees sat on a huge plot and we knew that it had potential to be our amazing family home,” say the owners.

“It’s very different now to when we saw it 13 years ago as we’ve extended to the front and back, and raised the gable end which increased the number of bedrooms to 5. We also added a double garage with an office and bathroom facilities above, along with numerous outbuildings and a tennis court. It’s been a fantastic home where we’ve had plenty of room to be together and spaces to head off to when in need of some quiet time.”

“The garden is fully enclosed and private, so it’s perfect for relaxing and entertaining. The huge, decked area and raised patio have been the scene of many gatherings of friends and family where we’ve celebrated some special occasions, including 18th, 21st and 50th birthdays. There are no near neighbours so we can party as loudly and as late into the evening as we like! It’s a peaceful space too where we see lots of birds and wildlife, including red kites nesting in the trees and deer who come to eat the fallen fruit.”

“The kitchen / family area is the heart of the home; I love cooking and it’s a pleasure to spend time in there as it’s filled with light and has easy access to the garden through the double bifold doors. It’s made for day-to-day family life and our guests tend to gravitate to this space too. I also really like our bedroom as it overlooks the back garden and it’s my own tranquil sanctuary. The tennis court has been a source of much fun and it has the most beautiful views looking down to the property.”

“We like the feeling of being off the beaten track as the house can’t be seen from the road, so it’s very secluded, yet everything we need is easily accessible. There are some wonderful walks nearby, as well as a good choice of pubs and restaurants. We can drive to Burford, Oxford, Swindon, and Cheltenham for an even wider range of amenities and it’s just as simple to head into London on the train.”*
