Finished to a high contemporary standard, Olcote is a detached four-bedroom home of about 1,980 sq ft set in the peaceful village lane of Checkendon. The ground floor opens to light-filled reception rooms and a Häcker kitchen with Siemens appliances, quartz worktops and a large island — a practical hub for family life and entertaining. Wall-to-wall sliding doors and French doors create a strong indoor–outdoor connection to a landscaped, wraparound garden and a terrace overlooking an adjacent paddock.
Upstairs, vaulted ceilings amplify space and light. The primary bedroom features an ensuite and a Juliet balcony with paddock views; a guest bedroom also benefits from an ensuite. The house has underfloor heating on the ground floor, new double glazing and has been fully refurbished throughout using Farrow & Ball paint and quality fittings, making it ready to occupy with no onward chain.
Practical points to note: the property’s heating uses oil-fired systems (boiler plus underfloor heating), which some buyers may prefer to replace or consider for running-cost comparisons. The house dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s but has been comprehensively modernised by the current owners. Some interior marketing images are CGI rather than literal photos. Located in an affluent, low-crime village with good local primary schools, easy access to Henley and Reading, and extensive countryside and riding routes, this home suits families seeking a contemporary rural base with generous outside space.
