Summary - POUNDCROFT HOUSE STEVENTON ROAD EAST HANNEY WANTAGE OX12 0HS
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Spacious five-bedroom house with nearly an acre and Tudor character near Oxford.
Five bedrooms across three floors; principal bedroom with en suite and walk-in wardrobe
Poundcroft House is a substantial five-bedroom detached property on the edge of East Hanney, set in about 0.9 acres. The house offers abundant period character — exposed beams, ornate fireplaces and high ceilings — across three floors and roughly 3,571–4,000 sq ft of accommodation. Large reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room, utility, family room and sheltered outside dining create flexible living space for family life and entertaining.
The grounds are a key asset: mature trees, large lawns and a gravel driveway behind double gates leading to a double garage provide privacy and excellent outdoor space. The location delivers village tranquillity with quick access to the A34, Didcot station (fast trains to London) and good local schools, while broadband and mobile signal are strong.
Buyers should be aware this is a solid-brick, pre-1900 house with secondary glazing and traditional construction that will not meet modern insulation standards without improvement. Heating is by mains-gas boiler and radiators; energy performance and running costs may be higher than a modern home. Council Tax is Band G, reflecting higher ongoing costs.
The property suits a growing family seeking character and space or a buyer looking to enhance a period house (potential to modernise kitchens, bathrooms or insulation). Some updating and ongoing maintenance of heritage features should be budgeted for, but the combination of size, plot and location offers long-term appeal and scope to add value.
