A rare single-storey home just south of Oxford, this detached 1930s bungalow offers exceptionally large lateral accommodation (approximately 1,435 sq ft) and a substantial south/side garden. Two double bedrooms, two reception rooms and a conservatory give comfortable, flexible living on one level, with a large attached garage and generous driveway parking for several vehicles.
The property is presented as a solid starting point with fitted bedrooms and a good-sized fitted kitchen. It sits in an affluent, very low-crime area with fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and regular bus links into Oxford—appealing to families and professionals who value convenience and outdoor space. Several well-regarded independent and state schools are nearby.
There is clear scope to create more space: loft and side/rear ground-floor extensions are possible subject to planning permission (to be applied for). Note practical limitations for a growing household: only one family bathroom and a cloakroom, and the house will benefit from updating in places to realise its full potential.
Buyers should note an inconsistency in the listing data about the build date (1930 vs. 2021); this should be verified in any purchase investigations. Planning permissions are not yet in place, and any intended works will require the usual consents and costs.
