Generous five-bedroom house with large gardens and scope for renovation in sought-after Marcham.
Substantial five-bedroom detached family home on large plot
Set on a generous plot in the heart of Marcham, this substantial five-bedroom detached home combines traditional Cotswold stone character with a flexible, family-friendly layout. Built around 2005, the property offers a large sitting room with bay window, separate dining room, study and a spacious kitchen/family area that opens to the private rear garden — plenty of space for family life and home working.
The principal bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobes and an en-suite, with four further well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom upstairs. Practical features include a separate utility, cloakroom, sizeable outbuilding/gym and a double heritage-style carport, plus a driveway that fits up to four vehicles — useful for households with several drivers or for guests.
The house is presented as a sound footprint but requires renovation and updating to reach its full potential. Buyers should expect cosmetic and likely some systems work to personalise the interiors; routine inspection of roof and joinery is recommended. Council Tax Band G means running costs are comparatively high and should be factored into budgets.
Marcham is a well-served and sought-after village with a primary school rated Good, village amenities, and convenient commuter routes to Abingdon, the A34 and Oxford. For families seeking space, school access and countryside nearby, this property offers scope to create a long-term family home with added value from sympathetic updating.
