Bignell View, Bicester, OX26

Thoughtfully extended and improved over the years, the property offers a warm and characterful family home with highly flexible accommodation arranged over two floors, enhanced by a particularly valuable self-contained annex.

The main house features three well-proportioned reception rooms, one with its own external access, providing excellent versatility for entertaining, home working or family life. At the rear, an impressive extension houses a bespoke oak and granite kitchen/breakfast room, complete with integrated appliances, Fired Earth floor tiles and a traditional Belfast sink. A cloakroom completes the ground-floor accommodation, while working open fireplaces bring warmth and character to both the living and family rooms.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and a stylish en-suite bathroom. There are two further double bedrooms and a fourth bedroom, currently arranged as a dressing room, together with a refitted, fully tiled shower room featuring a luxurious shower cubicle with body jets. Bedrooms one and two also benefit from air conditioning.

A major feature of the property is the attached self-contained annex, offering a generous and genuinely independent living space with its own kitchen, living room, bedroom, bathroom and modern conservatory. The conservatory opens directly onto a sunny private garden, giving the annex a welcome sense of privacy. Currently let, it offers attractive income potential, while also being ideal for multi-generational living, an adult child, an elderly relative, visiting guests or a live-in carer.
