Cumnor Hill, Cumnor, Oxfordshire

NO ONWARD CHAIN.

This distinctive detached property on Cumnor Hill, built in 1964, offers a unique opportunity for buyers seeking a home with great potential. The property, which is spacious and well laid out, would benefit from modernisation, making it an excellent project for those looking to create a home tailored to their personal tastes.

The ground floor features a welcoming entrance through the porch, leading into a spacious hallway with built-in storage that connects to all main living spaces. The large sitting room which features a fireplace and built-in storage is bright and well-proportioned. Adjacent to the sitting room, the dual-aspect dining room with access to the rear garden has a natural flow into kitchen and could be knocked through to create an open plan space (subject to the correct permissions). There is also a useful ground floor cloakroom and a series of utility rooms. A key highlight of the property is the self-contained annexe located at the rear with access to both the front and rear gardens as well as the main house through utility rooms. This annexe offers a separate sitting room, a spacious bedroom and bathroom, providing a flexible living arrangement ideal for guests, extended family or even as a potential rental unit (subject to the correct permissions). The first floor of the property contains three bedrooms. The principal bedroom offers ample space and plenty of light, with large windows and built-in storage. The second and third bedrooms are ideal for children, guests or as a home office. A large family bathroom is conveniently located on this floor, providing all the essentials but it would benefit from modernisation to bring it up to date with contemporary styles and fittings. There is also a large airing cupboard and access to the loft space via a pull down ladder.

Outside, the property boasts a substantial driveway with plenty of space for multiple vehicles. The large front garden, framed by mature beech hedging and established shrubs and trees, provides both privacy and a peaceful atmosphere. A lovely pond, surrounded by these mature plantings, enhances the tranquil feel as you approach the house. The beech hedge also forms a green boundary at the side of the property, further enhancing the sense of seclusion. The expansive rear garden, while currently in good condition, offers scope for landscaping or the addition of outdoor entertainment areas. This garden is a wonderful space for families, those with pets or anyone who enjoys spending time outdoors, with plenty of room for children to play or for gardening projects.
