An attractive, period home forming an exclusive private development all overlooking a central courtyard and surrounded by countryside with outstanding views over the Otmoor Valley.
Tapairu Cottage has been sensitively and tastefully modernised by the current owners and blends period charm with stylish, contemporary living. The beautifully appointed interiors comprise dual aspect, double reception room with wood floor and twin sets of French doors opening onto a large garden with farmland and neighbouring dressage arena beyond. Elegant kitchen/breakfast room with cream units and built-in/integrated Miele appliances, separate utility room and cloakroom. On the first floor there in a principal bedroom with a range of fitted wardrobes and an ensuite shower room. There are two further double bedrooms and family bathroom with additional shower cubicle.
The property is approached via a gated driveway with a secure entry phone system. To the front there is a former outbuilding now used as an open car port. You then walk through the communal courtyard gardens to the cottage itself. The gardens are south/west facing and enclosed by post and rail fencing to take advantage of the surrounding countryside.
The property is set just outside the village of Horton-cum-Studley, one of the 'seven towns of Otmoor', a collection of villages situated around a large area of grass & wetland which includes an RSPB Nature Reserve and a Site of Special Scientific Interest. It is well placed for the many amenities of Headington (c.5 miles) and the historic city of Oxford (c.7 miles), as well as Bicester and Thame & Haddenham railway stations, both serving London Marylebone. The village has a thriving community centre - the Millennium Hall - which hosts a number of events and societies during the year, as well as a sports field, tennis courts, children's play area, and the near-by Studley Wood Golf Club. There are also some superb walks locally, and the wonderful Bernwood Forest is also within 2 miles, where a waymarked butterfly trail leads walkers through forest, glades and rides.
