Set in a secluded 1.8-acre plot on Whitehall Lane, this three-bedroom detached bungalow combines mid‑20th century character with generous, flexible single‑storey living. The house occupies about 2,023 sq ft (including detached double garage, workshop/gym and stable) and sits in mature, landscaped gardens that open onto railed paddocks — ideal for small‑scale equestrian use or extensive private outdoor space.
Internally the layout is traditional and practical: a generous reception hall with underfloor marble tiles, sitting/dining room with French doors to the garden, a shaker‑style kitchen/breakfast room, three double bedrooms and two bathrooms including a principal bedroom with dressing area and en suite. Outbuildings include a 26ft garage with separate workshop, large shed currently used as a gym, and a field shelter/stable.
Buyers will value the privacy, huge plot and easy road access to nearby towns (Goring, Henley, Reading, Oxford) and well‑regarded local schools. It’s a strong proposition for families wanting countryside living, equestrian purchasers or downsizers seeking single‑storey convenience with generous outdoor amenity.
Important factual points: the property was built in the 1960s, uses oil‑fired heating with a boiler and radiators, has double glazing of unknown installation date, an EPC rating of E and cavity walls assumed without added insulation. Broadband speeds are slow and council tax band F is relatively expensive. Some buyers may wish to budget for energy‑efficiency upgrades and wall insulation works.
