Summary - 17 VICKERS WAY GROVE WANTAGE OX12 0GZ
3 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Energy-efficient village house with driveway and a sunny rear garden.
3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms across three storeys, approx. 1,086 sq ft
Nine 410W solar panels plus 6.5kW battery — strong running-cost savings
EPC B (rating recorded before solar installation) and NHBC until 2032
South-facing rear garden with patio; small-to-average plot size
Driveway parking for two vehicles; low-maintenance landscaped garden
Built 2022 by Persimmon — modern finishes and recently added kitchen units
Higher local crime rate than area average — factor in security measures
Limited extension potential due to plot size
Built in 2022, this three-bedroom semi-detached house offers contemporary family living across three storeys. The layout places living space to the front and an open-plan kitchen/dining room to the rear, with patio doors leading to a south-facing garden — ideal for children and outdoor entertaining. Driveway parking for two vehicles provides practical off-street convenience.
The property is a strong energy proposition: nine 410W roof-mounted solar panels plus a 6.5kW battery store reduce running costs, and an EPC rated B before the solar installation suggests good fabric efficiency. A recent lean-to/storage addition and extra kitchen units increase usable space, and the NHBC warranty runs until 2032, giving some construction cover.
Practical drawbacks are clear and factual. The garden and overall plot are small for the building footprint, which limits extension potential. The immediate area records a higher crime level than average, which prospective buyers should consider. The property is otherwise well maintained but offers only average overall internal floor area (approximately 1,086 sq ft).
This house will suit a young family or professionals seeking a low-maintenance, energy-efficient property in a village setting with good road links to the A34 and access to local schools. It presents modest scope for value-add through internal reconfiguration rather than major structural change due to plot constraints.
