Located in the heart of the town, this fine Victorian residence offers accommodation set over four floors, with a stunning garden of approximately three-quarters of an acre (stms). Oakley House is one of the most prominent houses in the town and represents a wonderful example of the ‘Queen Anne’ revival period in Victorian architecture.
A sense of grandeur is apparent upon entering the large hallway with its beautifully-tiled floor of the period. The accommodation would have originally been divided into owner and servant areas. Consequently, it offers two staircases, front and back, giving access to different parts of the home. The main sitting room has a wonderful sense of occasion, set at the rear of the property, with a beautiful French château fireplace, and recessed windows on either side. A wide bay gives a picturesque view into the garden.
At the front of the house there is a drawing room and a family room. These are both very generously-sized and provide plenty of space for larger families and those who love to entertain. To the rear of the property an imaginatively-designed twentieth century conservatory complements the more traditional architecture with rakish angles, and provides a fully-glazed outlook into the garden. Above, a cupola lantern skylight makes a striking feature that enhances the light entering the room.
On the first floor are four large double-bedrooms with the principal bedroom benefiting from an en-suite bathroom. There is a further bathroom and a separate W.C. serving the other rooms. To one corner is a sauna with a shower area. From the back hallway one can access a cellar comprising two rooms, both with good standing height, and one has a subterranean window providing natural light. Ascending the back staircase one reaches the top floor, which has three attic bedrooms set into the gabled roof spaces. These would make excellent, characterful rooms for children, or workspaces, and the windows give long views over the town, including its famous Church tower, from the attic landing.
Outside, there is a driveway with parking space for several cars, and an adjacent large garage. The grounds are a delightful aspect of the property; unexpectedly quiet and peaceful, considering how central the house is to the town. There are extensive mature boarders containing a variety of shrubs and perennials, carefully selected to provide colour all year round. The gardens offer a high degree of seclusion and there is a pond to one side with the majority set to lawns. There is plenty of space for those who may wish to add a tennis court. Oakley House offers an exciting potential for sympathetic modernisation with the further benefit of vacant possession assured.
Viewing in person is strongly recommended to fully appreciate the opportunity this wonderful property presents.
Please be advised that since the outside photographs were taken in summer 2024, the owner has since had improvement works to all chimney stacks.
