Location:

The property lies in the popular village of Kingston Bagpuize, situated approximately 10 miles southwest of Oxford and approx. 6 miles west of the market town of Abingdon-on-Thames.  The village is known for its beautiful countryside, and historic buildings including the Grade II St. John The Baptist Church dating back to the 12th century and  Kingston Bagpuize House also grade II Listed and built in the 1660s featuring its beautiful gardens and park that is open to the public, including the hire for private events and weddings.  The area Is well served by primary and secondary schools and offers a post office, Co-op and public house.  It  is well placed for commutes with the A34 and A420 providing good access to the M40, M4 and rail stations at Oxford & Didcot.

In The Owners Own Words:
Fox House was chosen for its individuality — a detached home on its own plot, not part of an estate, with a character and scale that felt genuinely distinctive. The village location offered exactly the right balance: a real sense of community without isolation, and swift access to Oxford, transport links, and the wider world. That balance has proved itself over the years of living here. The village is engaged without being parochial — there is a hall, regular events, an annual fete, a monthly magazine, and residents who genuinely look out for one another. Yet the property sits on the edge of the Cotswolds, with the Thames, outstanding restaurants, country pubs, riverside walks, and one of England’s great cities all within easy reach. It is a home that feels both rooted and well-connected.

The defining feature, though, is the orientation. The garden faces southwest, and the difference this makes across the seasons is hard to overstate. Morning light floods the front of the house; by mid-morning the rear garden is bathed in full sun. Two separate patio spaces extend the outdoor living options — the main rear terrace for open sun, and a sheltered side patio under a mature wisteria for softer, dappled light when the afternoon heat peaks. The garden is entirely private and not overlooked from any angle. It is the kind of outdoor space that consistently surprises people on a first viewing.
