This substantial five-bedroom detached house on Southfield Drive offers flexible family living with two self-contained annex flats — ideal for a multigenerational household or rental income. At over 2,500 sqft the layout includes a large kitchen/diner, sitting room, utility, ground-floor WC and five first-floor bedrooms, including an en-suite to the main bedroom. The property sits on a decent plot with a garage, wide driveway and private rear garden.
Practical updates include a new mains gas boiler installed in 2024 and new kitchens and bathrooms in both annexes the same year, reducing immediate maintenance costs. Chain-free sale and good connectivity (about 3 miles to Didcot Parkway with direct trains to London Paddington) add convenience for commuters.
Notable considerations: the property dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and will suit buyers prepared to modernise certain areas. Double glazing is present but the install date is unknown. Council tax is described as expensive; buyers should confirm costs and verify room measurements, services and legal title. School ratings locally are mixed, with both ‘Good’ and ‘Requires improvement’ Ofsted outcomes for nearby state schools.
Overall this home suits a large family wanting space and flexibility, or a buyer seeking rental income from the two annexes. Inspectors and purchasers should check fittings, measurements and legal details as part of due diligence.
