Property description
The Firs is a handsome detached Victorian villa, originally built in 1893 as the Dower House to Headington Hall, built for William Morrell of the renowned Oxfordshire brewing family. The author Hope Mirrlees was a former resident of The Firs and both ts Eliot and Winston Churchill are reputed to have stayed at the house. The property is attractively set within mature and lovely private gardens approaching one acre in size. Family's ownership for over 30 years. In that time, the property has been lovingly maintained and updated over the years to offer a very comfortable combination of charm, character and modern convenience.
A floor plan is provided within these particulars showing the approximate size, layout and orientation of the rooms and the photographs illustrate the appeal of this exceptional home. Internally, the rooms have decorative cornicing, high ceilings, period fireplaces and sash windows whilst downstairs, the cellar rooms have been delightfully converted into a games/cinema room, snooker room, gym and bar, with a concealed entrance behind a secret door in the drawing room.
Gardens and Grounds
The gardens and grounds are private, surrounded by mature trees and shrubbery. The whole garden is wonderfully mature and attractively landscaped with lawned areas, terracing, walled courtyard area, vegetable garden, heated swimming pool and a Victorian glass house. The mature trees include a rare specimen Ginkgo tree and the orangery has a very old and very productive vine.
