The sunken patio area is secluded and enjoys privacy as well as a suitable area for garden furniture.Long Hanborough is popular with commuters due to rail links to London and Oxford from the village. Local amenities can be found within the village as well as in nearby towns of Witney and Woodstock.The thriving village of Long Hanborough sits in the heart of the Oxfordshire countryside and is enveloped by a beautiful patchwork of farmland and ancient woodland. It’s a stunning location that enables one to enjoy all that rural life has to offer, and at the same time wonderful connectivity to a plethora of nearby towns and villages. It is also a place that enjoys superb rail links, and so is a particular draw for commuters, as the nearby Hanborough station provides a fast and reliable service into, among other places, Oxford in just ten minutes, Reading in just thirty-five minutes and London in around an hour.“We rather reluctantly came to view Hillside just over twelve years ago,” says Robert. “I say reluctantly because at the time it was only half finished, and we were in no way looking for a project.” “I stepped through the door and was immediately impressed by the look of the entrance hall with its beautiful staircase and galleried landing,” adds Vicky. “That was enough for me; I knew it was the perfect house for us.” “We had to do rather a lot of work to get it up to scratch,” says Robert, “but it’s been well worth the effort as it’s now a really superb family home.”Set into a gently sloping hillside, this lovely property has been cleverly designed to really make the most of its wonderful setting. All of the main living areas are located on the first floor, which allows direct access onto the pretty raised garden that lies at the back of the property. “I’d say that the kitchen is the real heart of our home,” continues Robert, “and the real focal point of our family life. It’s large enough for our huge pine dining table, so perfect for informal meals, and it’s also a wonderful area for entertaining. We often like to fling open the back door, sit at the table and just enjoy the sheer peace and quiet.” “Both the living room and formal dining room have French doors which open out onto the patio,” says Vicky, “so the house has a wonderful connectivity to the outside space.” “Again the garden was something of a project when we arrived here,” adds Robert, “but we employed a fantastic landscape gardener to completely redesign it, and it’s now a very attractive and extremely tranquil space that we have really enjoyed over the years.” “This is a fabulous house,” continues Robert, “and in my mind the location would be very hard to beat. We have everything we could possibly need within very easy reach. The village has a good array of shops and amenities, and a vibrant and very friendly community, we have an array of really good state and private schools in the local area, and the transport links are excellent; if you need an easy commute to either London or Oxford, this is the ideal spot.” “We are just ten minutes from Witney and twenty minutes from Oxford by car,” adds Vicky, “and we also have an excellent bus service which travels into Oxford, Woodstock, Burford, Witney. We’re also lucky enough to be surrounded by some beautiful countryside, and within walking distance of Stonesfield gate which allows one access into the Blenheim Palace Estate, which is a place that we love to take our dog, Jack, for long walks.”“This has been a wonderful family home,” concludes Robert, “with flexible and spacious accommodation, a very peaceful and beautiful garden, in an absolutely superb location. I couldn’t fault it.” Robert and Vicky
