A superb four bedroom detached family home enjoying a private setting in the highly sought after hamlet of Bix, offering spacious and beautifully presented accommodation.
Occupying an enviable position within the small hamlet of Bix, Pippins forms part of an exclusive development surrounded by rolling South Oxfordshire countryside. Set on the crest of a hill, the property enjoys access to some of the area's most spectacular rural scenery while offering a beautifully appointed modern home.
Built just over 10 years ago with an emphasis on quality and comfort, the property continues to offer an excellent specification throughout, including triple glazed windows, underfloor heating to the ground floor, satin chrome ironmongery, thoughtfully selected flooring, a modern and energy efficient Glow Worm air source heat pump system providing economical heating and hot water, and a professionally maintained Klargester private drainage system, shared with the neighbouring property.
A custom made oak framed covered porch leads into a welcoming reception hall with oak plank flooring, providing access to the principal ground floor accommodation. To the front of the house is a useful study, ideal for those working from home, or for use as a family/playroom. The heart of the home is the open plan kitchen/dining room, fitted with painted cabinetry, quartz worktops and a comprehensive range of Siemens integrated appliances, together with a Rangemaster induction range cooker and wine fridge. Adjacent to the kitchen is a practical utility room providing additional storage and laundry space, with a back door to outside.
The spacious dual aspect sitting room extends to over 20 ft in length and provides an excellent entertaining space, centred around a wood burning stove set on a granite hearth. French doors open directly onto the garden, creating a seamless connection between inside and out. A cloakroom completes the ground floor .
The first floor is arranged around a central landing and comprises four well proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from an en suite shower room, whilst the remaining bedrooms are served by a stylish family bathroom featuring quality porcelain stone effect tiling and contemporary sanitaryware.
Outside, the property is approached via a private driveway at Orchard Gardens, shared with just one other house. Beyond electric gates, which are secured overnight, there are two allocated parking spaces to the front of the property, together with additional parking to the side and in front of the garage, providing ample space for several vehicles. The single garage, featuring bespoke oak doors, offers further secure parking and storage. The front garden is predominantly laid to lawn and complemented by established flower beds.
The enclosed rear garden is bordered by fencing, with pedestrian gates on both sides of the house and mature hedging providing additional privacy to the side and rear.
At the rear of the house there is an tiled terrace that extends directly from the rear of the house to a sunny seating area, ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining. Beyond lies a generous lawn, creating an attractive and private outdoor space.

What I particularly like about this home is its peaceful setting in Bix. Surrounded by beautiful countryside, it combines a high quality modern finish with a real sense of privacy and an excellent village lifestyle.
