Description:

Only 2.5 miles from the city of dreaming spires, Hillcrest offers a green oasis on the edge of urban Oxford. Complete with it's own private lake, enjoy serene views across the water, from a beautifully refurbished modern lodge style setting, with Scandi influences and a contemporary finish. The ideal location to explore the city whilst still having your own space to gather, relax and celebrate.

Including 7 bedrooms (3 on the ground floor and 4 on the first floor), sleeping 17 guests, 4 bathrooms, a spacious living room, large kitchen diner, utility room, boot room and a wooden cabin, the house lends itself perfectly for large gatherings of friends and family.

With inspiration taken from the minimalistic interiors of Scandinavia, you’ll find earthy tones that blend effortlessly with clean white lines and natural wood to create a calming contemporary environment. The open plan layout downstairs creates the ideal space to relax and gather; with the living room, dining room and kitchen flowing into each other seamlessly to create a flexible and inviting social area - perfect for feasting, drinks, games and making the most of each other’s company.

Flooded with natural light, thanks to large glass windows, doors and skylights throughout, you can make the most of the stunning serene lakeside view. Surrounded by trees, you have complete privacy and seclusion from the urban surroundings, making it your own private oasis.
