Ideal family home - well proportioned, good light, well presented, and tucked away in the quietest of locations

Noke is a tiny hamlet lying midway between Islip and Beckley approximately 6 miles from Oxford City Centre . It is well known locally for being an exclusive address because it offers that rare mix of genuine rurality and convenient access. Placed for easy access to the A34 and M40 together with principal Oxford Hospitals it is surrounded by farmland, centred round a wonderful church, and it is as quiet as anywhere you could find in this part of the County. There is a railway station at Islip on the Bicester to Oxford line, and access to both the A40 and M40 is a few minutes' drive.

April Cottage is a rather delightful house. Agents are often guilty of superlatives without cause but this property is in great order throughout and represents to our mind the ideal quiet and spacious home. Many of the rooms are double aspect and this ensures really enviable natural light. But there are also some lovely individual touches such as the beams in one of the reception rooms and the iron stair rods. Regarding practicality there is also a surprisingly wide range of storage in the house including the massive loft and many cupboards/ wardrobes. In all it's a welcoming property and a lovely place to be.

The entrance to the property is through an enclosed porch. This leads into an attractive hall with the original wood floor, and stairs rise off, under which is the cloak room. To the right the first of three receptions is light and airy with a large bay to the front which also features a window seat with built-in storage beneath storage, plus there is a working fireplace and an oak floor. To the rear of the hall the kitchen and dining rooms both overlook the garden. The dining room is a great entertaining space, neutral and light with double doors to the garden flanked by further windows. Double doors open up to a kitchen which is fully equipped with high quality wood units and granite work tops, with Neff oven and hob plus Miele dishwasher fitted. Alongside this the utility is fitted with various units and a wood work surface, plus there is ample space and plumbing for all the usual white goods. To the left of the hall the final downstairs room is currently used as a study and equipped with a range of cupboards and shelving, nb to the front almost the whole width is glazed with two large sliding doors.

Upstairs the theme is similar, starting with a wide landing which also features exposed ceiling timbers. All four bedrooms are large, light and well presented in neutral decor. The bathroom is modern and practical with a white suite. The shower room is rather stylish with a corner vanity sink, chrome radiator and a curved shower. It is also worth noting that there is a walk-in wardrobe to the largest bedroom, this would appear (subject to consents) to lend itself well to conversion as another en-suite if desired.

Outside, to the rear the garden is generously proportioned, beautifully landscaped and very private. Immediately to the rear of the house the terrace runs full width but curves out to the centre. Beyond is a pretty lawn which is flanked by mature borders and a seating area. At the rear a further terrace is beautifully arranged with a circular tiled pattern, there is also subtle low-level LED lighting on a timer fitted. To the left of this there is a Summer house with power and light, a part of which to the left is separated off as the shed. At the front of the house the garden is mainly block paved as ample driveway for several cars, however there are various pretty borders and a large conifer, and the whole is enclosed by stout double gates flanked by a natural stone wall.
