The house sits on a large plot with a 110 ft south-west facing garden, two outbuildings, raised beds and a greenhouse — ideal for family outdoor living, growing and entertaining.

The ground floor provides flexible living with three reception rooms, a kitchen/diner opening to the garden and a downstairs WC. Upstairs offers a very generous master bedroom with en-suite plus three further double bedrooms and a family bathroom, providing comfortable space for a growing family or visiting relatives. The property is described as being in good order throughout and totals about 1,755 sq ft.
Location is a practical strong point: quick access to Oxford and Abingdon via the ring road and A34, a regular bus service into Oxford, and local amenities including a primary school, Co-op, post office and pub. Several well-regarded independent and state schools are within easy reach, making this a sensible choice for school-age families.
Important drawbacks are factual and should be noted: the property sits in a high flooding risk area and has an EPC rating of D. Council tax is above average. The house was constructed in the 1950s–1960s and while described as in good order, prospective buyers should factor in age-related maintenance and check flood mitigation, insurance costs and any upgrading required to improve energy performance.
