This detached three-bedroom bungalow on Oxford Road offers single-level living with generous proportions and thoughtful modern updates — ideal for buyers looking to downsize without compromising space. The principal bedroom is particularly roomy, with built-in wardrobes and a private en-suite, while the lounge/dining room’s vaulted ceiling, remote-controlled skylights and patio doors create a bright, airy living area that connects directly to outdoors.
The kitchen is contemporary and fitted with integrated appliances, supported by a separate utility room for practical day-to-day use. Solar panels reduce running costs, and the in-and-out driveway plus attached garage deliver convenient, stress-free parking for multiple cars. The plot is large for a bungalow, giving scope for garden improvements or accessible landscaping.
Buyers should note the house was built in the 1950s–60s and external cavity walls are assumed to have no additional insulation, so upgrading thermal performance may be a sensible investment. Council tax is above average for the area. Services and appliances have not been tested, and prospective purchasers are advised to commission a full survey and checks on systems, roof and electrics before committing.
Overall, this is a spacious, well-presented bungalow in a very low-crime, affluent suburb with excellent connectivity and local schools nearby — a practical, comfortable option for those seeking one-floor living in Abingdon.
