Summary - 1 ORCHARD GARDENS WEST CHALLOW WANTAGE OX12 9TL
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Perfect for family entertaining with large garden and hidden workspace.
Over 2,000 sqft of living space across multiple reception rooms
A large, well-presented four-bedroom family house set in a peaceful village location, offering flexible living across multiple reception rooms. The extended ground floor provides a bright open-plan kitchen/diner with central island and bi-fold doors onto a generous south-facing deck and lawn — ideal for entertaining and family life. Two dedicated home offices, one concealed behind a secret door, give genuine workspace options for remote working or study.
The mature, private rear garden runs alongside the Childrey Brook and includes a pergola with retractable awning and a children’s play area at the bottom of the plot. Off-street parking for several cars sits to the front, making arrivals and family logistics straightforward. The first floor includes a master bedroom with dressing area, en-suite and Juliette balcony, plus three further good-sized bedrooms and a family bathroom.
Practical points to note: the property uses oil-fired heating (boiler, radiators and some underfloor heating) and currently holds an EPC rating of D — running costs may be higher than a mains-gas property. Broadband speeds are reported as slow in the area. Council tax is described as expensive. Constructed in the late 1960s–1970s, the home has been well maintained and presented, though buyers should consider longer-term energy and heating upgrades.
This home suits families who value space, garden privacy and adaptable work-from-home arrangements in a tranquil countryside setting, with good local schools and village amenities nearby.
