Set on a generous corner plot in a quiet Woodcote cul-de-sac, this four-bedroom detached family home has been extensively refurbished and is presented in turnkey condition. The house offers generous, well-proportioned rooms, bespoke handcrafted joinery and a contemporary open-plan kitchen/diner that flows to a west-facing landscaped garden — ideal for afternoon sun and family entertaining.
Practical family features include a large sitting room with sliding patio doors, a utility room, downstairs WC, fitted wardrobes in principal bedrooms and an integral double garage with rafter storage. A recently installed timber garden office at the bottom of the plot comes with its own electrical consumer unit and ethernet, providing a ready-made work-from-home space separate from the main house.
The location will suit families: it’s approximately a 0.4-mile walk to well-regarded primary and secondary schools and offers good access to nearby towns and rail links. The redesigned driveway provides extensive off-street parking and an improved entrance, making daily life and guest parking straightforward.
Important factual points: the property dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and has timber-frame walls with partial insulation (assumed), the EPC is D, and council tax is at the higher Band F. These factors are worth considering alongside the substantial recent refurbishment when planning further energy improvements or long-term running costs.
