About this home
Situated in Henwood, between Cumnor and Wootton, the property presents an excellent opportunity to acquire a family home with scope for improvement. While the property has been well maintained, it would now benefit from updating, allowing purchasers to create a home tailored to their own tastes and requirements. The accommodation is arranged over two floors and provides versatile living space. On the ground floor, a welcoming entrance hall gives access to a generous living room with bay window, separate sitting room overlooking the rear garden, kitchen/dining room, study, shower room and two double bedrooms. The layout offers excellent flexibility and may suit those seeking predominantly ground-floor living.
The first floor is devoted to a particularly spacious principal bedroom with extensive built-in storage and an adjoining bathroom.
Outside, the property enjoys attractive and secluded gardens predominantly arranged to the rear, providing a pleasant setting with plenty of space for keen gardeners and families alike. A detached double garage with an inspection pit, and separate outbuilding/workshop offer excellent storage and potential for a variety of uses, subject to any necessary consents. Ample off-street parking is available on the driveway.
