A spectacular and substantial architect-design village house amongst mature and established gardens.
Tucked away off the village lane, the approach is discreet yet impressive. Welcoming gates under a covered roof set the tone for arrival.The house has been carefully designed to maximise natural light. Built in 1980, the house is not listed and is constructed of stone, timber and plenty of glass. The accommodation is highly versatile and arranged over four floors, with excellent views growing as you climb. The ground floor is largely open-plan living with a magnificent double-height vaulted ceiling in the sitting room, which the kitchen/breakfast room and dining rooms adjoining. Access to the garden influenced the design, and seven doors lead outside. Above are five bedrooms, a music room, a library and three bath/shower rooms across three floors. There are balconies on both first and second floors with many windows to show off the far-reaching views. Delightful and well-established gardens with mature trees and deep herbaceous borders frame the house. A valuable studio in the detached gatehouse would make an excellent annexe. Attached to the house is a double garage with an internal door to go through into the house.
Wykeham House enjoys an elevated position amongst some of the oldest period properties in the village. Upper Heyford village is quiet and secluded, away from the beaten track but within easy reach of amenities and road/ rail links. The community is vibrant with a well-used village hall and green plus an excellent local pub; many villagers also enjoy a walk of around a mile down the Oxford Canal to Lower Heyford, where a shop and cafe can be found at the canal wharf and a further good pub.
