Welcome to Two Hoots, a four-bedroom family home spanning over 2,700 sq ft in the desirable village of East Hanney. Coming to the market for the first time in 25 years, this meticulously maintained, and thoughtfully extended residence combines countryside living with cutting-edge technology. The kitchen stands as a testament to modern luxury newly renovated with sleek Miele appliances and striking quartz worktops that would inspire any home chef, while solar panels, a Tesla battery, ducted air conditioning and underfloor heating elevate this village home beyond the ordinary. The private wrap-around plot offers multiple outdoor sanctuaries, including a cedar-covered hot tub retreat, stone-paved dining areas and morning coffee patios that capture the sun throughout the day. As you approach Two Hoots, the handsome red-brick façade with contemporary anthracite accents immediately catches your eye. Solar panels glint atop the roof, providing substantial energy savings throughout the year. The generous driveway offers ample off-road parking for five vehicles, leading to a double garage with a modern roller door. Recently upgraded aluminium windows and seamless guttering frame the property. Stepping through the front door, you're welcomed into a bright, airy entrance hall with an archway design and warm wooden flooring. Step into the expansive living room where floor-to-ceiling windows capture streams of natural light and frame picturesque views of the grounds. Extended in 2009, this substantial space centres around a working fireplace that draws family and friends together on crisp winter evenings. A stunning island with engineered quartz worktops provides a stylish focal point and a practical workspace where hidden pop-up power units emerge upon touch. Premium Miele appliances include a dishwasher, integrated fridge, microwave/combi oven and warming drawer, complemented by a practical Grohe boiling water tap. Bifold doors on either side of this bright, airy space flood the room with natural light while skylights above draw your eye to the vaulted ceiling. Underfloor heating ensures year-round comfort, even during cold winter mornings. Whether hosting Christmas dinner with a towering tree twinkling in the corner (a cherished tradition for the current owners), summer gatherings that flow seamlessly to the garden, or simply enjoying morning coffee at the breakfast bar, this kitchen is hard to beat. Adjacent to the kitchen, the family room offers a perfect second entertainment area with large sliding glass doors that frame garden views and invite morning sunlight to spill across the floor. This versatile space works equally well as a casual dining area or relaxed TV lounge. A connected study, with separate entrance, provides the ideal work-from-home environment with a practical dog flap and direct garden access when you need a moment of fresh air between Zoom calls. This space is perfect for muddy boots and wet coats after countryside rambles along East Hanney's network of walking paths, accessible on the doorstep. The practical utility room features a butler's sink with a stylish sliding wooden top, creating additional counter space. With room for laundry appliances, large refrigerators and other necessary appliances. A convenient downstairs WC completes this thoughtfully designed section of the home. Up the oak staircase, four bedrooms and the family bathroom spread across the landing where an airing cupboard with radiator provides ample room for towels and other items. All the bathrooms are served by mains pressure hot water tanks, situated in the downstairs boiler room, meaning long hot showers for everyone (even on busy mornings). The principal suite makes an immediate impression with a sophisticated feature wall, room for a super king bed and exceptional natural light. During summer months, whisper-quiet ducted air conditioning creates a cool sanctuary, while an adjoining dressing room features handcrafted oak wardrobes with exceptional storage space. The second bedroom also boasts ducted air conditioning, with elegant sage walls framing views across the village rooftops. Generous proportions accommodate a king bed and built-in wardrobes with plenty of storage. A generous ensuite bathroom also features a large walk-in shower. Across the landing, the third bedroom includes the convenience of a private WC, while the fourth offers versatility for changing family needs perhaps as a bedroom for younger family members, a second home office or creative hobby room. The family bathroom completes the upper floor with a bath and shower, while a fully boarded and carpeted loft space above provides substantial additional storage.

3 bedrooms Flat in East Hanney, Wantage, East Hanney, Wantage OX12
A ground-floor apartment within a converted Oxfordshire mill, where original structure, open-plan living and a direct connection to garden and brook create a calm, village-centred way of life. Dandridges Mill reveals itself with quiet confidence. Its long brick form runs alongside the water that once defined its purpose, the elevation shaped by function rather than gesture. The approach is quiet, almost modest, but the impression lingers. This is a building with memory, one that understands its own place within the village and landscape. The Garden Apartment sits at ground level in a way that feels both natural and deliberate. There is no sense of passing through shared corridors or ascending away from the land. Instead, arrival is horizontal and grounded, with the garden and the brook forming an immediate point of orientation. The sound of moving water accompanies the first moments here, softening the boundary between the outside world and domestic life. East Hanney sits close enough to feel part of the everyday, yet the mill's setting creates a degree of separation that is immediately perceptible. A home that encourages a different pace, where attention shifts to light, material, and the steady rhythm of the landscape that surrounds it. Dandridges Mill was conceived with purpose rather than ornament. Its brick elevations, structural timbers, and internal volumes were shaped by the demands of work, durability, and time. What reads today as character was once simple necessity, and it is this clarity of intent that continues to define the building. The centre of the apartment is a broad, open volume that accommodates living, dining, and cooking without hierarchy. These activities are not assigned to rooms so much as allowed to find their own balance within the space. The kitchen occupies its place with confidence rather than dominance. Its curved form softens the geometry of the room, encouraging circulation and conversation rather than stopping it short. It is a space designed for use - for preparation that happens alongside daily life, not separate from it. Dining sits comfortably between kitchen and sitting areas, a natural meeting point rather than a formal destination. The proportions encourage lingering, whether over a simple midweek meal or a longer, unhurried evening. Beyond, the living area arranges itself around the fireplace, which provides warmth and focus without asserting itself as a feature. Throughout the day, the apartment responds to light and mood. Windows set deep into the walls create moments of pause, while doors opening directly onto the garden invite the outside in. The flow is intuitive. There is room to gather and room to withdraw, often within the same sightline. The private rooms are deliberately calmer in register. Here, the scale softens and the pace slows. Bedrooms are set away from the main living areas, providing a degree of separation that feels considered rather than remote. The principal bedroom has a quiet generosity to it, its proportions allowing space for both rest and reflection. Morning light arrives without urgency, filtered through garden outlooks rather than street activity. The adjoining bathroom continues the apartment's broader language of material honesty and understatement, offering comfort without distraction. Secondary bedrooms maintain the same sense of adaptability found throughout the apartment. Built-in storage and individual en suite bathrooms are quietly integrated, supporting independence and ease without defining the rooms by function alone. They are spaces that can change role easily, accommodating guests, work, or quieter personal use as life evolves. A dedicated study reinforces this flexibility, offering a place for focus that remains connected to the wider rhythm of the home. The garden flows naturally from the apartment, with a sense of continuity that softens the boundary between inside and out. There is no sense of stepping out into a separate domain; instead, garden and home feel like successive chapters of the same experience.
