This unique 1960s self-build house, nicknamed "Mendota", is a hidden gem in the charming village of Islip, Oxfordshire. With over 2,700 sq ft of living space, the property boasts vaulted rooms, oak parquet floors, and a "minstrel's gallery" with stunning views of the gardens and village. The house has been owned by the same family since its construction in 1961-1964 and has been lovingly maintained, with solar panels already installed. While updating is required, the potential for renovation is vast, allowing the new owner to put their own stamp on the property. The house is set in a beautiful, landscaped plot of around 1/3 acre, complete with extensive garaging and workshops, making it an ideal choice for medical professionals or anyone seeking a peaceful retreat. With its unique blend of modern design and natural surroundings, "Mendota" is a truly special property that offers endless possibilities for its next owner.
