Danesfield, Boars Hill
A four bedroom, Arts & Craft home in one of Oxford’s most desirable locations
Sitting fairly centrally within its almost acre plot, Danesfield is a typical “Arts & Crafts” home having been originally built in the early 1900s, but has since undergone meticulous extensions and reconfigurations, transforming it into a fantastic family home over two floors.
A spacious, open-plan ground floor gives way to a large private garden with ample room for family living. The kitchen/breakfast room has integrated appliances and a light, modern aesthetic provided by the glass lantern and french doors which open onto the garden. The first floor enjoys a principle suite with dressing room, three further bedrooms, and a family bathroom. Sitting at the heart of Boars Hill, a short drive from Oxford centre, homes like this do not come to market very often

The layout makes the most of the exceptional ground-floor living spaces and includes a welcoming double aspect sitting room boasting ample natural light, heightened by a sizable lantern, while a conveniently situated study offers picturesque views over the front.
At the heart of the home lies the impressive, open-plan kitchen/dining room/family room. With two generous light lanterns and French doors leading to the garden, this space is perfect for entertaining. Completing the ground floor is a separate utility room and a convenient downstairs shower room.

Outside, a driveway offers extensive off-street parking and leads to a detached double garage. Established gardens surround the property and are a delightful feature, with the main lawn interspersed with mature trees, plants, and shrubs alongside a good-sized patio area, perfect for al-fresco dining.
Surrounded by scenic walks including those through neighbouring woodlands, Merton is perfectly situated to enjoy the best of countryside living. -
