This well-updated four-bedroom detached house sits at the end of a quiet lane in Childrey, set on a generous plot with private walled gardens on three sides. The house offers comfortable family accommodation across two floors, including three reception rooms, a cottage-style kitchen with solid wooden worktops, and a principal bedroom with ensuite. A double garage and large private driveway provide plentiful parking and storage.
Practical details are clear: the property is freehold, has oil-fired central heating with a boiler and radiators, double glazing, mains services, and a D EPC rating. Broadband and outdoor mobile coverage are reported as available; there is a very low flood risk. The village benefits from a shop and café, good local schools and easy access to the A34, M4 and M40 for commuting.
Buyers should note material considerations: the house is constructed of solid brick and no cavity insulation is assumed, which can affect heat retention and running costs. Heating is oil-fired (not a community system) and council tax is band F (expensive). The property has been newly renovated by the current owners, but buyers may wish to review insulation and the EPC when assessing ongoing energy costs.
Overall this home suits families or downsizers seeking space, character and a private plot in a peaceful village setting, while accepting higher running costs associated with oil heating and an older solid-wall construction.
