Tackley is the perfect base for exploring the sights and sounds of Oxford, visiting Blenheim Palace and its fantastic events or experiencing the thrill of racing at Silverstone. With a railway station in the village, a community-run pub and great bus services you can be car-free not having to worry about parking or how you get home after a meal out.
This family home is wonderfully spacious with bright rooms that you can make your own. The living room draws you in with its large woodburning stove and cosy seating. On sunny days you can open the doors to the garden to expand this space even more, stepping out for a breath of fresh air. With a traditional kitchen/diner and a games room with table tennis, there is more than enough room here. Upstairs are five bedrooms, two king-size doubles, two twins and a great family room with two double beds. This room has an en-suite bathroom suiting adults with younger children sharing.
The garden at Tackley House has a secluded terrace where you can take your breakfast, or sit out here with a book to relax when you get back from a day out. With a lawned area it is perfect for letting the dogs out. Walking routes lead from the village down to the river, golfers can head to Kirtlington Golf Club to stretch their legs and the Cotswolds are just a stone’s throw away.
Ground Floor
Kitchen/Diner
The kitchen at Tackley House is made for so much more than just family meals. Spacious and flooded with light there is a dining table seating 10 at the centre. Wrap-around wooden units and green checkerboard tiling gives a quirky touch to this traditional room. There is an oven and hob, dishwasher and fridge/freezer as well as small appliances. Set the table for dinners, play board games or dance the night away, the choice is yours.
Sitting Room
Two dramatic blue three-seater sofas and cosy boucle armchairs let you sit by the fire or watch TV while you have a hot drink. The woodburner is a fantastic benefit making this room perfect for an evening in when the weather cools. In the summer, open the French doors to the garden and you can expand this already roomy space into the second dining room.
