Set at the northern end of Carterton and recently refurbished, this 3-bedroom semi-detached home sits on a larger-than-average plot and offers generous living space across 1,268 sq ft. The layout includes two reception rooms, a modern kitchen with integrated appliances and breakfast bar, a separate utility room, and two bathrooms — useful for family life or multi-generational living. Off-street parking for numerous vehicles and a private garden add practical outdoor space and convenience.
The property benefits from double glazing installed after 2002 and solid period character from its early 20th-century construction, refreshed internally to a contemporary standard. It is freehold, has no recorded flooding risk, and lies close to the Country Park and well-regarded local schools (Burford Primary and Burford School rated Good), making it attractive to families who value outdoor access and schooling.
Buyers should note a few material points: the home uses oil-fired central heating with a boiler and radiators, which can be more expensive than mains gas; the EPC rating is D; and cavity walls are assumed to have no added insulation, so further energy-efficiency work may be desirable. Broadband speeds in the area are slow, and council tax sits in Band D. The house has been in one family for over 50 years prior to refurbishment, so there is scope to personalise or further upgrade services.
Overall, this large, newly renovated semi offers a substantial plot, flexible accommodation and strong local amenities. It will suit families seeking space and outdoor access, downsizers wanting a manageable property in a comfortable suburb, or buyers prepared to invest in improved energy efficiency for long-term running cost savings.
