Oddington, Kidlington, OX5

Main house and annexe

Set on the edge of Oddington village green, Wyvering House is a sensational five bedroom family home offering 3019 sq. ft. of spacious accommodation over two floors.

The house, originally built in 1978 by a local builder for his family, has been in the same ownership for over 15 years and has been well-maintained by the current owner. The kitchen/breakfast room is a particular highlight which enjoys the morning sun and views over the orchard. It also benefits from a wood-burning stove for the cooler months.

The dining room is lovely and dual aspect and the sitting room benefits from a woodburning fireplace and double doors opening on to the rear garden.

There are five double bedrooms upstairs, most with fitted wardrobes and two with en-suites. The principal bedroom is dual aspect and enjoys stunning views over your own garden and field, the Otmoor Nature Reserve and the Chilterns beyond.

The garden has many different areas including an orchard, a wildflower meadow, wildlife pond and some well-stocked flower beds with bulbs, shrubs and many other perennials. The orchard is home to plum, pear, mulberry, quince and apple trees – to name just a few. One of the more established apple trees is unique to Wyvering House and produces the “Wyvering Apple”!

The property has a huge amount to offer including a one bedroom cottage, currently used for short lets, and an additional approx. 1.5 acre field to the rear backing on to the New River Ray.
