4 bed 3 bath Detached
Four bedrooms with three reception rooms, flexible family layout
Set well back from Reading Road, this substantial detached house occupies about 0.6 acre and offers flexible family accommodation across ground and first-floor spaces. The house extends to roughly 2,200–2,300 sq ft with four good bedrooms, three reception rooms and a recently refitted kitchen. Dual heating technologies include gas central heating plus solar water heating and photovoltaic panels that generate an income via feed-in tariff. The rear garden is south-facing and backs onto open farmland, giving privacy and long rural views.
Practical family features include bifold doors to the family room, an open fire in the main living room, a wood-burning stove in the family room, generous parking on a double entrance drive and an attached single garage plus a large 10.0 x 5.25 m timber garage/workshop. The substantial outbuilding provides scope for a workshop, home office, further garaging or potential annex subject to consents. Broadband is standard to superfast in the area and mobile signal is excellent.
The property has been updated in recent years — kitchen, en-suite and a ground-floor family bathroom are refitted and external condition appears well maintained. Notable running costs include an EPC rating of C and a high Council Tax band (G). Buyers should be aware parts of the building pre-date 1999 and may contain materials such as Artex or older insulation; any suspected asbestos should be investigated by specialists before alteration.
This house will suit buyers seeking a sizable, low-density family home in a semi-rural, affluent village with good commuter links to Didcot and the A34/M4. Its layout and large plot give clear scope to modernise or extend (subject to planning). Viewings are recommended to appreciate the gardens, versatile outbuilding and the feeling of space that the plot provides.
