Full property description
Oak House is one of Oversland's most distinguished and substantial period residences, occupying an impressive plot of over half an acre and enjoying a commanding position within beautifully landscaped grounds. This magnificent double-fronted Victorian home has been meticulously enhanced by its current owners over the last decade, resulting in an exceptional family residence with versatility and contemporary luxury.
The remarkable transformation of this handsome home is a testament to the owners' vision, creativity and attention to detail. Through a programme of thoughtful renovation and sympathetic modernisation, they have carefully preserved the elegance and character of the Victorian era whilst introducing comfort and sophistication.
Original features remain at the heart of the property, including striking fireplaces, elegant sash bay windows and beautifully proportioned reception rooms, all complemented by bespoke contemporary finishes. Luxurious bathrooms have been appointed, whilst the spectacular kitchen has been thoughtfully designed, with bi-fold doors framing the grounds beyond.
The accommodation extends over 3000 sq.ft and offers an abundance of flexible living space, ideally suited to growing families, multi-generational living or those seeking dedicated areas for home working. The handsome front door opens into an inviting entrance hall. To one side there is a bay-fronted reception with wood burning stove, currently utilised as a home office, which connects directly to an elegant library. Opposite, a splendid sitting room centres around an original fireplace with an elegant marble surround, while French doors open onto the front garden. A connecting door leads through to the formal dining room, which also has access to the gardens.
Stretching across the rear of the property is an impressive 26-foot kitchen and breakfast room. Beautifully appointed with bespoke cabinetry, Corian worktops and a comprehensive range of integrated Neff appliances, the space is arranged around a substantial central island with breakfast bar seating. A dedicated bar area further enhances the room's entertaining credentials, whilst bi-fold doors open directly onto the south facing terrace and gardens beyond. The space is complemented by a utility room and cloakroom.
The first floor provides six generously proportioned bedrooms arranged around an expansive galleried landing. The principal suite enjoys delightful views across the surrounding countryside and benefits from a luxurious en-suite bathroom featuring premium fittings and sanitary ware from Samuel Heath, Burgbad and Victoria + Albert. One of the bedrooms is currently accessed via an adjoining room, although the layout could easily be adapted to create two entirely independent bedrooms if desired. A well-appointed family bathroom and separate WC complete the first-floor accommodation.
OUTSIDE:
Oak House occupies over half an acre of meticulously maintained grounds, which can be accessed from five separate points within the house, creating an effortless flow between the living spaces and gardens. The mature grounds provide a private and peaceful setting, with expansive lawns, colourful established planting, ornamental shrubs and specimen trees creating year-round interest.
A generous south-facing terrace with pergola adjoins the kitchen and breakfast room, providing an ideal space for outdoor dining and entertaining with direct access via the bi-fold doors. The property is approached via a substantial driveway offering extensive parking for numerous vehicles and leading to a detached triple garage.
