Description
A remarkable timber home with sustainability at its heart set within a village-style living environment.
For buyers looking beyond conventional bricks and mortar, The Paddock on Manor Road offers something genuinely different. This substantial detached Colt House, constructed principally from timber and cedar, provides approximately 3,242 sq ft of remarkably flexible accommodation, set within an established plot of around one third of an acre on the edge, but not within, the Old Didcot Conservation Area.
Built in 1960/61, the house is a fascinating example of timber construction, using natural materials long before sustainability became an important consideration in modern house building. Exposed timbers, timber-lined rooms and generous windows give the property enormous warmth and individuality, while its scale makes this a particularly versatile family home.
The accommodation includes a substantial kitchen/breakfast room, an impressive dual-aspect sitting room with distinctive Parana pine panelling (now an endangered wood), a dining room and two further reception spaces allowing plenty of flexibility for home working or multi-generational living. Upstairs are six bedrooms arranged around a generous central landing, with attractive views across the gardens and a family bathroom.
Outside, the mature third of an acre plot is a major part of the appeal, with established trees and planting creating a wonderfully tranquil private setting. A restored timber barn dating from around 1820 adds further character and versatility, complemented by a summer house tucked in to one corner, a detached double garage and extensive parking.
The location feels like a quiet, sleepy road in an Oxfordshire village, yet all this sits within easy reach of Didcot's excellent amenities, the A34 and Didcot Parkway station which provides fast rail connections to Oxford and London.
The Paddock is anything but conventional – a wonderfully individual timber home offering space, character and an exciting opportunity to embrace more sustainable living.
