"Sixties seclusion..... a rare privacy envelops inside and out"

An unassuming four-bedroom mid-century home, beautifully concealed within a secluded and partially wooded plot of just under an acre. Commissioned by the current owner in the 60s and measuring approximately 1,900 sq ft set across a single floor, with two large private gardens, off-street parking and an integral garage.

A uniquely private plot despite its central Oakwood location, boasting quick links to central London. Set back from the main road at the end of a discrete private lane, its resolute profile, composing crowborough brick, generous floor-to-ceiling windows crowned with slanting pitched roof.

The house is designed in two sections; to one side, an open-plan living and dining area, kitchen, utility room and breakfast room, and to the other, sleeping accommodation.

The dual aspect open-plan sitting room takes full advantage of the sun and has original teak panelling and exposed-brick walls. A glazed door opens straight onto the garden. To the right is space that opens to the kitchen, with space for a dining table and chairs.

A later addition to the house, contains a utility room and breakfast room, with a large skylight that punctures a pitched, wood-clad ceiling. From here, double-glazed doors which open onto a substantial paved area of the garden, perfectly positioned to take advantage of the garden’s visiting birdlife; local residents include goldfinch, song thrush and the great spotted woodpecker.

Amongst the rear lawns, turf has been repurposed from Lord’s Cricket Ground, after the MCC relayed the surface in 2002. The original garage has been divided to maintain garage/storage space at the front, with the remainder being converted into a study.

The sleeping accommodation comprises of master bedroom, with en-suite shower room and external access to the back garden. There are three further bedrooms, two with built-in wardrobes, and a shared family bathroom.

Surrounded by expansive green spaces, including Oakwood Park, a stone’s throw from the house. Trent Country Park, composed of 400 acres of rolling meadows, brooks, lakes, ancient woodland, is perfect for walking and fishing. Trent Park Equestrian Centre is also close by for horse riding as is Trent Park Golf Club. The location enjoys catchment for a number of Ofsted-rated ‘outstanding’ schools including Eversley Primary School and the Highlands Comprehensive School.

Transport connections are excellent. Oakwood Station (Piccadilly Line) is less than a 15-minute walk. Grange Park (Great Northern & Thameslink) is nearby with trains to Moorgate in around 33 minutes.
