2 Bed Detached House, Dove House, OX2

Due to a family emergency with our long term tenants, this sought after property is unexpectedly available immediately!

It is a light and spacious detached 2 double bedroom 2 bathroom home with further flexible accommodation for guests or family members  and an open plan living-dining-kitchen room with a double height ceiling and mezzanine.  

Subletting of the second double bedroom is permitted, to render the property affordable to essential workers (see explanation at the end of this section). 

This new Danish-style wooden home has a split level master bedroom with connected sleeping and dressing areas, a double bed, two large wardrobes and an en-suite shower room.  The second double bedroom can have either a single or double bed to preference, has a window with black-out blinds and a sky light above a desk area. The second large shower room and toilet opens into the attractive tiled corridor and entrance hall. 
The large high-ceilinged living area has a new kitchen with washer-drier, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, hob and oven and a large breakfast bar with handy electrical sockets and stools. An extendable (up to 8 person) dining table and very comfy sofa and chair in the TV and living area complete this light, spacious and attractive space. A huge second mezzanine level can be reached via carpeted stairs from the living area. This mezzanine area has plenty of sockets and natural light. It would make a fantastic home office, play room, guest room or entertainment zone!
The french doors in the living area open onto a courtyard with raised beds and plenty of pretty garden lights for the evening time. The plantings in the raised bed have been designed by Wild Thyme Oxford to grow up and connect visually to the many mature trees to the rear of the property. The patio is a real sun trap!  It is well screened and private and will provide a haven to relax or entertain in by day or night. 
The property comes with its own parking space and bike shed.  
Air-source heat pumps power the underfloor heating system throughout. The system is split into 4 zones, allowing individual control of the temperature in each part of the house. 
Immediately to the rear of the garden, a path leads to a well equipped children's playground with plenty of grass to run around on,  and a friendly community centre next to it. Pinnocks Way has an excellent Indian takeaway, bus stops for the city centre and a grocery convenience store. It is 2 miles from the city centre, 1.8 miles to the train station and a 15 minutes walk or 4 minutes cycle ride to a range of shops in Botley.
