A spacious-feeling four-bedroom detached house on a corner plot in Shrivenham, offered freehold and with no onward chain. The property has three reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room, separate utility, integral garage and driveway parking — practical family accommodation with clear scope to modernise.
The wraparound garden and mature planting provide privacy and outdoor space, while large reception rooms and four double bedrooms, including an ensuite to the master, create flexible layouts for family living. Good broadband and mobile signal suit home working and connected households.
The house requires renovation and updating throughout, which is reflected in the price and presents strong potential for improvement or extension (subject to consents). Note the property has solid brick walls likely without insulation, double glazing fitted before 2002 and an older heating system; a buyer should budget for thermal upgrades, redecoration and possible services checks.
Practical points: the overall internal size is described as small, the plot is recorded as small and council tax is expensive — factors to bear in mind when weighing running costs and future works. This will suit buyers seeking a project with immediate occupancy and long-term value-add potential in a very affluent area close to local amenities and schools.
