About this home
Situated in an elevated position within this popular residential area, and just a comfortable walk from the centre of Wantage, this well-maintained semi-detached home has been lovingly cared for by the current owners. The ground floor centres around a comfortable living and dining room, providing access to the kitchen, and a recently refurbished wet-room style shower room. Upstairs, the property offers three bedrooms, including two doubles, with the third providing excellent flexibility as either a single bedroom, nursery, or home office. To the rear, accessed via the conservatory or side gate, the mature, large garden enjoys established trees and planting, together with a pergola creating an ideal space for entertaining or relaxing outdoors. The size of the gardens offers a wonderful opportunity to extend the property, subject to the necessary permissions, which have recently been forthcoming for neighbouring properties. Indeed, planning permission for a two-storey extension was previously granted in 2011, under application number P11/V0571 at Vale of White Horse District Council. Additional benefits include parking and the advantage of being offered to the market with no onward chain. Overall, this is a superb opportunity for first-time buyers, families, and downsizers alike.
