Didcot mainline station can also be easily accessed via the A34 with a regular service to London Paddington, or Oxford station with services to Paddington. In addition the new Oxford Parkway Station offers services to London Marylebone in 66 minutes. It is conveniently positioned for both Oxford and Abingdon, where major supermarkets, shopping facilities and sports centres can be found. There is an excellent choice of schools in the area including Chandlings, The Manor, St Helen and St Katherine, Magdalen College School, College, Cothill, Our Lady’s Abingdon, Abingdon School, The European School at Culham, Headington School, St Edward’s, Oxford High School and The Dragon School. Boars Hill House Boars Hill House is an attractive house of brick construction which offers extensive accommodation and leisure facilities in a private setting close to Oxford.

Internally, the ground floor has a number of reception rooms with the principal rooms overlooking the garden and ponds. The kitchen and breakfast room lie to the rear of the house with a number of domestic offices and staff rooms.

To the upper floors, there is a good ratio of bedrooms to bathrooms which are all well proportioned and enjoy views over the gardens. The master bedroom suite has a generous bedroom with 2 private balconies, sitting room, 3 dressing rooms and a study.

The swimming pool complex incorporates a large salt based swimming pool with humidity system, a spa bath and sauna. The pool room has retractable glass walls which open up to both the lawn and large deck area with summer house and barbecue. Above the pool room is a family/games room with wooden floor. A large balcony overlooks the garden with views both to the house and ponds. Stretching the length of the lower pond is a raised deck which forms the roof of the bowling alley. To the west of the house, beside the parking area is a large purpose built garage block with space for 3 cars and the Annexe is to the rear. Gardens and Grounds To the front of the house is a large lawned area which is bordered by well stocked borders and flanked by large mature trees. The lawn is approached from the terrace which is to the rear of the house with steps down to the lawn. This creates an exceptional setting over three large terraced levels of garden. The tennis court is flood-lit and the decking above the bowling alley doubles up as a gallery area. The decking area beyond the swimming pool complex is built around a wonderful fish pond with a small island and a covered gazebo. This decking area has recently been landscaped and gives the gardens wonderful dimensions largely due to the rock waterfall that flows from the upper fish pond down to the lower pond. Built into this waterfall area is a sophisticated system of lighting which illuminates numerous water plants and various other interesting aspects of the property.

To the west of the house, beside the parking area is a large purpose built garage block with electric up and over doors and space for 3 cars. There is access from the garage to the annex which provides a large sitting room with kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms, there is also further accommodation within this building.
