Set on a large plot in peaceful Wootton, Boars Hill, this spacious detached bungalow offers almost 1,500 sq ft of single-storey living with strong potential to extend. The bright reception room and kitchen/dining both open via French doors onto south- and west-facing gardens, creating light-filled living and easy indoor–outdoor flow. Three double bedrooms, a modern ensuite and family bathroom make it comfortable for family life or for owners looking to downsize without sacrificing space.
Practical extras include a generous 533 sq ft double garage with first-floor storage, an 85 ft external storage room, and ample off-street parking accessed from a gravel forecourt. The property benefits from mains gas central heating, double glazing upgraded after 2002, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for remote working or streaming. Local facilities are close by: two Good-rated primary schools within a mile, a village Co‑Op, pub and regular bus links to Oxford and Abingdon.
There is scope, subject to planning permission, to convert the loft to create further accommodation and substantially increase living space; this could appeal to growing families or someone seeking to add value. The house was built in the late 1970s/early 1980s and is well presented, but buyers should factor in typical upgrade and maintenance costs for a home of this age.
Practical considerations: council tax is described as expensive and any loft conversion requires planning consent. The split-level bungalow layout and large plot will suit those who value single-floor living, generous outdoor space and rural privacy rather than a city-centre location.
