Set within about 2.41 acres of mature grounds and adjoining paddock, this detached single-storey home offers a rare combination of generous internal space and substantial outdoor land in a peaceful hamlet. The bungalow’s triple-aspect living/dining room, conservatory and principal suite with dressing room and en-suite make it a comfortable family home on one level, with practical parking via electric gates, a double garage and covered carport.
The plot is a major asset: private gardens, mature planting, and direct access to fields and woodland create excellent privacy and outdoor potential for families, hobby equestrians or smallholding use. The property is sold with no onward chain and lies within easy driving distance of Henley-on-Thames, Reading and local schools rated Good, making it well placed for both countryside living and commuter convenience.
There are some practical considerations to note. The house was constructed before 1900 with solid brick walls and assumed lack of cavity insulation, and the glazing and some services pre-date 2002 — factors that may affect energy efficiency and running costs. Drainage is private (not mains sewer), which will require ongoing maintenance and checks. The adjoining paddock has a public footpath crossing it, which affects absolute privacy and boundary use.
For families seeking a spacious, single-storey layout and substantial land, this bungalow presents strong long-term potential. Buyers should factor in likely improvements to insulation, modernisation and private drainage upkeep when considering the purchase and future running costs.
