Set on a very large 0.56-acre plot on the edge of Wallingford, this single-storey detached bungalow blends roomy, practical living with strong extension and annexe potential (subject to planning). The open-plan kitchen-diner forms the social heart of the house, with a dual-aspect wood burner linking reception spaces and creating a warm, lived-in atmosphere during colder months.
Outdoors feels like a private smallholding: established vegetable beds, greenhouse, chicken run, water feature, outdoor bar and seating. A triple garage and separate workshop provide substantial storage and parking; the garage has potential for conversion to an annexe (PP suggested but not confirmed). There is considerable scope to extend the footprint, giving families options to increase bedrooms or create additional living space, subject to planning permission.
Practical points to note: the property has one bathroom only, cavity walls were built without insulation (assumed), and the house was constructed between 1900–1929 so some elements may need updating. EPC C and gas central heating are in place, but council tax sits in a higher band. Buyers should verify planning, tenure and services via their solicitor and consider a survey before committing.
This home will suit buyers seeking a peaceful, semi-rural lifestyle close to town amenities—families who value outdoor space, gardeners, or purchasers looking for an investment with refurbishment/extension upside. The location offers good schools nearby, fast broadband likely, and very low local crime, making it a comfortable and private long-term home.
