Situated in an elevated position on Horton Hill, an opportunity to acquire an idyllic village home with annexe, outbuildings and an enviable garden, packed with character and presented to exacting standards throughout
A captivating village home with attractive gardens and a recently constructed detached annexe in this enviable village just 4 miles from Oxford's ring road. Situated in substantial grounds, Merriemakers oozes charm and character having undergone an extensive schedule of sympathetic alterations and improvements by the current owner, including the addition of a glass extension to the rear with doors fully opening 2 sides onto the garden terrace taking full advantage of idyllic gardens. Demonstrating exposed timbers, fireplace and quarry tile floors, the living space flows from the garden room through to the main sitting room, perfect for entertaining or family gatherings. The well-appointed kitchen incorporates a range of integral appliances including induction hob, dishwasher, double oven and a highly sought-after Quooker tap. The first floor offers three double bedrooms and a remodelled family bathroom that includes a built in TV at the end of the Jacuzzi bath as well as Bluetooth media connectivity. Adjacent to the main house is the annexe. A substantial space recently completed with elevated ceilings that provides a self-contained living space, a bedroom and shower room. Outside, the gardens must be seen to be truly appreciated - well stocked and maintained, they are presented as a series of 'rooms' with an additional cottage garden and orchard alongside the main lawn which takes centre stage. In the sunniest corner of the plot you'll find a generous summerhouse containing a sauna and shower room. Horton-Cum-Studley is one of seven 'Otmoor' villages and sits to the east of the RSPB Otmoor nature reserve. The village 'kissing gate' at the end of the drive is a perfect access point to field walks offering stunning views. The village is once again in receipt of a bus service between Oxford and Bicester and rail commuters can make use of Islip, Bicester or Haddenham stations. Local schools include Beckley, Oakley, Brill Primary and Wheatley Park secondary alongside independent schools such as Headington School, Magdalen, St Edwards and several others.

Stamp duty calculator provided by The Property Hive is intended to provide an estimate of the stamp duty land tax payable on a residential property purchase in England or Northern Ireland. However, the calculator is provided for general information purposes only and should not be relied upon as a substitute for professional legal or tax advice. The actual amount of stamp duty payable may differ from the estimate provided by the calculator, depending on various factors such as the purchase price, the property type, and the buyer's circumstances.

Regulations require that we undertake identity and AML checks, and secure information on the circumstances of your purchase in line with our obligations to verify your identity and complete Customer Due diligence as part of you agreeing any offer with our client. These are dictated by regulation and enforced by trading standards. Whilst we retain responsibility for ensuring checks are carried out correctly and for ongoing monitoring, the initial checks are carried out on our behalf by Lifetime Legal who will contact you once you have agreed to instruct us in your sale or made an offer on a property you wish to buy that is provisionally agreeable to our client.
We have looked to provide benefits alongside undertaking these checks to ensure this is not an additional cost to you. These include complementary Lifetime Legal membership for 3 months, and where you use Chancellors Conveyancing services we have also arranged for this cost to include the AML/ Customer due diligence cost your solicitor would normally charge you for their regulated required checks. The cost of these checks is £80 inc VAT, which covers the cost of obtaining relevant data and any manual checks and monitoring which might be required. This fee is paid in advance, directly to Lifetime Legal and is non-refundable.
