Summary - THE OLD POUND, 3 HIGH STREET DRAYTON ABINGDON OX14 4JL
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Spacious south-facing gardens with private rear plot and flexible living.
Circa 3,000 sq ft of renovated Victorian accommodation
The Old Pound is a striking circa-1900 detached family home offering almost 3,000 sq ft of carefully renovated living. The property blends Victorian character—exposed beams and high ceilings—with contemporary conveniences installed during a full 2016 refurbishment (new roof, wiring, plumbing and insulation).
A magnificent triple-aspect lifestyle room (54' x 19') delivers dramatic light and direct views over south-facing gardens and multiple outdoor entertaining areas, while a private rear plot increases seclusion. Eco upgrades include an air source heat pump, photovoltaic panels with three battery units, underfloor heating and smart Rako lighting, supporting lower running costs and modern comfort.
Accommodation comprises five bedrooms, three bathrooms and flexible living spaces across multiple storeys, with garage parking and fast broadband in a very low-crime, affluent village setting. Local amenities include a pub, post office, primary school and good bus links; Didcot Parkway is about 10 minutes away for a 35-minute train to London Paddington.
Notable points to consider: the EPC is graded C, council tax is above average, and the house—while comprehensively renovated in 2016—retains period fabric (solid brick walls with internal insulation) that may require ongoing maintenance typical of older buildings. Buyers seeking a high-spec, energy-upgraded family home in a connected Oxfordshire village will find strong appeal here.
