Summary - Milton Road, Shipton-under-Wychwood OX7 6BD
Large plot with mature, private garden ideal for alfresco living
This substantial four-bedroom detached house sits on a large plot in sought-after Shipton-under-Wychwood, offering spacious family living across about 2,056 sq ft. Ground-floor living includes a generous living room with fireplace and sunroom, an oversized dining room that opens to a snug, and a practical kitchen with space for breakfast dining. An integral garage (wider-than-average) and driveway give useful off-street parking.
The property blends Cotswold character and practical upgrades: traditional stone walls and beamed ceilings are paired with solar panels and battery storage that reduce electricity costs. The principal bedroom has an en suite and three further good-sized bedrooms share a family bathroom. A large, mature rear garden provides privacy and scope for outdoor entertaining and family activities.
There are a few material points buyers should note. The house was constructed before 1900 and the stone walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation; double glazing installation date is unknown. Main heating is an oil-fired boiler with radiators. Council Tax is in band F, reflecting the affluent area and resulting in higher running costs. These factors mean the house will suit buyers wanting space and character who are prepared to carry out some energy efficiency improvements and general updating.
Location is a strong selling point: the village has a primary school, local shops, three pubs, a doctors’ surgery and good road links to Chipping Norton, Burford and Charlbury (mainline trains to Oxford and London). Broadband is fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting home working and family connectivity.
Overall, this is a roomy, characterful family home in a desirable Cotswold village with sizeable garden, modern solar benefits and clear potential for energy-efficiency improvements and cosmetic updating.
