Welcome to Oakfield

May 2, 2025

Tucked away in the picturesque village of Warthill, Oakfield is a superbly extended and meticulously upgraded five-bedroom detached home that offers a stunning blend of spacious living, elegant design, and outstanding outdoor space. From the moment you arrive, it’s clear this is a property with presence – set back from the road behind a pillared entrance with an expansive gravelled driveway, the home immediately makes a statement.

A Welcoming Entrance

As I step through the front door and into the reception hall, I’m greeted by a sense of space and quality. A turned staircase with spindle balustrade sets the tone, while a built-in under stairs cupboard offers practical storage. The downstairs cloakroom is neatly tucked away and features a modern low flush WC, wash hand basin, tiled splashback, and a heated towel rail.

Two Beautiful Reception Rooms

To the front of the house, the lounge is a wonderfully warm and characterful space. A solid fuel cast iron stove sits proudly on a quarry tiled hearth, creating a focal point that invites you to settle in. Bespoke wood panelling and a wide bay window enhance the charm, while ceiling downlighters bring a soft glow in the evenings.

Across the hallway, what was once the garage has been skilfully converted into a formal dining room. Dual aspect windows allow the light to pour in, and the space is versatile enough to serve as a second lounge, playroom or even a work-from-home space if preferred.

The Heart of the Home

Without question, the standout space in Oakfield is the breathtaking living kitchen. This room alone could sell the house. Quartz worktops, integrated Bosch appliances, and a central island provide all the function you could ask for, but it’s the design that really sets it apart.

Three Velux rooflights and full-width bifold doors flood the room with light and draw your eye straight out to the garden. There’s more than enough space here for both dining and lounging – it’s a space that brings everyone together.

Utility and Practicality

Off the kitchen is a dedicated utility room with further storage, a stainless steel sink, plumbing for a washing machine, and space for a dryer. A stable-style door leads directly out to the garden – ideal for muddy boots or pets after long countryside walks.

First Floor Comfort

Heading upstairs, the landing provides access to the full first floor, including a loft hatch with drop-down ladder and a large airing cupboard housing the pressurised hot water cylinder.

The principal bedroom is a serene and spacious retreat, with dual aspect windows, twin radiators, ceiling downlighters, and a full wall of floor-to-ceiling wardrobes. The en-suite is every bit as impressive – a contemporary four-piece suite with a walk-in shower, inset bath, double towel rails and stylish tiled finishes throughout.

Four further double bedrooms provide flexibility for growing families or guests, with one room currently adapted as a home office. All benefit from double glazing and central heating.

The house bathroom has been thoughtfully refitted in a traditional Victorian style, with a freestanding roll-top bath, walk-in double shower, pedestal basin and WC. Warmed by both a radiator and heated towel rail, it’s a beautiful space to unwind.

Exceptional Outdoor Living

Stepping out to the rear garden, you get a real sense of the scale of this plot. Extending to approximately 50 metres in length, the garden is as well thought-out as the interior. A wide, flagged patio stretches across the rear of the house and leads to a covered pergola that flows directly from the kitchen – the perfect spot for entertaining or evening dining.

Beyond this, a purpose-built basketball court adds a playful touch, and the remaining lawn is bordered by established planting, mature trees, and fenced boundaries. A summer house, greenhouse, and children’s treehouse are all included in the sale, adding charm and function to the outdoor space.

To the side of the house, a timber garage and hardstanding area provide additional storage and potential for further development, subject to the necessary consents.

A Prime Village Setting

Warthill is a highly sought-after village location, offering rural charm while remaining close to key road links including the A64 and A1079. Oakfield is perfectly placed for those looking to enjoy village life without sacrificing convenience.
