Description
An impressive five-bedroom detached Georgian home, arranged over three floors presented to the highest of standards, with a delightful rear garden, and summer house, set in a popular Oxfordshire village with easy access to commuter links.
Dating back to the 1700's Score House is an elegant period property that has been extended and refurbished throughout to provide flexible accommodation to suit modern family living, whilst retaining many of the character features.
The front of the property is enclosed by wrought iron railings, and a mature hedge, along with a footpath leading to the handsome front door.
The entrance hallway sets the tone for what is to follow, with the beautiful staircase leading to the first floor and the dual-aspect reception room just to the right.
The reception room itself has two large bookcases, window seats, and an attractive cast iron fireplace, along with Oak wooden flooring. It is currently used as a family room, and music room, but it would make for a lovely dining room too.
The kitchen/breakfast room is the hub of the house with bespoke floor and eye level units, a Villeroy and Boch double sink, a four oven AGA, Neff appliances, a super island, and space for an American style fridge freezer, all complemented by Travertine tiled flooring.
Adjacent to the kitchen/breakfast room is the dining room, which boasts original shutters on the sash window, and a multi fuel stove, making for a lovely room for more formal dining and entertaining with family and friends.
A utility room with a WC, and a boot room, which is perfect for all the coats and boots a busy family need to store is located off the rear hallway.
The back door from the hallway leads to the side of the property and the driveway parking, ideal for unloading shopping, and bringing in the wet dogs!
A formal sitting room to the rear of the property is a fabulous room for relaxing, and taking in the views over the extensive rear garden.
The first floor has three bedrooms, and a well appointed family bathroom. The master bedroom is double-aspect with an en-suite shower, and a dressing room.
The second floor has two further double bedrooms, and an additional family shower room, along with useful eaves storage space.
The extensive landscaped gardens to the rear of the property have been carefully designed to maximise the impact of the expansive lawn, and paved pathways, which lead to various seating areas from which you can enjoy the views beyond.
A patio, with a stone-built BBQ, is neatly tucked away at the end of the stone-built home office, providing a lovely private spot for al-fresco dining.
The addition of a fabulous purpose-built summer house towards the bottom of the garden will be the envy of your guests, think long summer evenings relaxing with a glass of wine, the teenagers of the house will be thrilled to invite their friends for overnight stays too!
A brick-built wall separates the last part of the garden from the main lawn, accessed via a pretty archway it provides plenty of space for play equipment, a vegetable garden, or just somewhere to play cricket.
The vibrant village of Fritwell is approximately 6 miles North West of Bicester. Junction 10 of the M40 is a few minutes' drive away and offers commuter access to London, M25 and Birmingham.

The village shop offers a Post Office and butchers.
