Description

The property at Overshot is a historically significant home designed by the renowned architects Godfrey Samuel and Valentine Harding, founders of the Tecton Group, and listed as Grade II for its architectural and historical importance as a representative example of the Modern Movement in architecture. The house boasts a spacious and flexible layout with a south-facing orientation that offers ample natural light and scenic views of the garden and Bagley Wood. The principal rooms are thoughtfully arranged to maximize these views and the sense of space, with a large loggia providing an extension of the living area. The ground floor features an impressive entrance hall, a welcoming drawing room that flows into the dining room, and a kitchen with original fitted cupboards and tiling, updated in 2013 to maintain its period character. The property also includes a snug, a shower room, and a 'library' that can serve as a versatile space for various uses. The first floor hosts the master bedroom with a balcony overlooking the garden and woodland, four additional well-proportioned bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a shower room. Approached via a gravelled driveway with ample parking and leading to a double garage, the property also benefits from a south-facing terrace and a large lawn with mature trees. The location on Hinksey Hill, near Boars Hill, offers a tranquil setting while providing easy access to Oxford and its comprehensive amenities, including schools, shops, and transport links. The property is well-suited for families and those who appreciate period architecture with modern amenities. With a council tax band of G and mains services including gas heating, Overshot is a unique and appealing family home.
