Set within walking distance of local shops, a pub and regular bus routes to Wantage, Abingdon and Oxford, this three-bedroom semi-detached house is offered with the certainty of no onward chain. The property dates from the 1930–49 period and sits on a decent plot with a larger-than-average rear garden and driveway — a clear asset for family life and outside entertaining.
The interior requires renovation, with a dated 1980s kitchen, standard-height ceilings and a single bathroom. Gas central heating, a mains boiler and pre-2002 UPVC double glazing are in place, while the EPC sits at C. Buyers should note the medium flooding risk and that the property presents scope to improve, extend and add value rather than move-in ready accommodation.
This home is best for growing families or buyers looking for a renovation project in a very well-located village setting. Nearby schools include a mix of Ofsted ratings (Good, Outstanding and one Requires Improvement), and local amenities — library, playground, village hall and leisure facilities — are all within easy reach. Fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and affordable council tax add practical everyday benefits.
With realistic renovation planning this property offers strong upside: extend into the garden, modernise the kitchen and bathroom, and upgrade glazing/heating for improved comfort and value. The no-chain position and decent plot make it straightforward to proceed quickly for those ready to invest.
