Set on approximately 0.5 acres of mature, landscaped gardens, this spacious five-bedroom detached house suits a growing family wanting privacy and outdoor space. The house has been extended since its original construction to provide flexible living areas: two reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room, utility and boot room on the ground floor, with five bedrooms and bathing facilities upstairs. A covered deck, fruit trees, vegetable plot and expansive lawns create excellent outdoor living and entertaining opportunities.
Energy performance is improved by recent solar panels and a modern heat pump, which will reduce running costs compared with oil-only heating. The property retains mid-20th-century character in its brick elevations and bay windows while offering scope for further enlargement, loft conversion or internal modernisation (subject to planning), making it attractive for families who want to adapt the house over time.
There are practical considerations to note: the main heating fuel is oil with boiler and radiators currently in use, the external walls are likely solid brick with limited built-in insulation, and the property occupies a higher council tax band (Band F). These factors should be weighed alongside the energy improvements already installed. Broadband is fast; mobile signal is average, often better outdoors.
Appleton village provides a strong community, easy access to countryside walks and highly regarded schools, making this a convenient rural base for commuter access to Oxford, Abingdon and the wider region. Ample off-street parking, a garage and garden stores add everyday convenience, while the plot size and planning potential offer long-term value for families considering investment or extension.
