Set within the sought-after village of Buckland, this Cotswold-stone detached house offers flexible family living across spacious rooms and a large, private walled garden. The ground floor provides four reception rooms including a dual-aspect sitting room with open fireplace, a separate dining room with garden access, and a kitchen/breakfast room with integrated appliances and an adjoining utility. Five double bedrooms sit upstairs, three with fitted wardrobes, and a generous master with en-suite. The large attic room off bedroom 2 offers clear potential to become a substantial master suite or additional reception space (subject to planning).
Practical positives include a double integral garage, wide driveway parking for several cars, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing, and excellent mobile signal and broadband speeds. The property is freehold and chain-free, located within a conservation area close to Buckland Primary School (Ofsted Outstanding) and well-placed for independent schools and good transport links to Oxford, Swindon and beyond.
Honest considerations: the house was built in the late 1970s/early 1980s and shows typical age-related features; wall insulation is partial/assumed and double-glazing install dates are unknown. There are only two bathrooms for five double bedrooms, which may require adaptation for larger or multi-generational families. Conservation-area status could restrict external alterations and any loft conversion or extension will need appropriate permissions. Council tax is noted as quite expensive.
This is a genuine family home with a mix of period character and practical space, ideal for those seeking village living with scope to personalise. Buyers looking for a low-maintenance new-build will find here more character and potential — and those prepared to update parts of the house can create a notably larger, bespoke family residence.
