Location:
Kennington is a desirable village situated on a long narrow strip of land between Bagley Wood to the west and the River Thames to the East. Within the village there is a grocery store, doctors surgery, public house and a primary school. In the heart of Kennington is a Village Hall which also serves its community well, with activities and functions for all.
It is a short drive northwards towards the city of Oxford with its retail, recreation and educational facilities, or take the Park and Ride in which is close by instead. Heading southwards out of Kennington takes you to Radley, with the renown Radley College boarding school for boys and a rail station to Oxford or London Paddington. Go through Radley to arrive in the market town of Abingdon-upon-Thames.  Kennington also offers good access to the A34 and Eastern Bypass which leads to A40/M40. 

In the owners words:
What initially attracted us to the property was the opportunity to have a spacious family home in a lovely village setting, while still being close to Oxford. Over the past 10 years, we've really made the house our own, and it has been a wonderful place to raise our little girl.

One of the things we love most about the house is its character and space. Originally built as a bungalow in the 1940s and later extended, it offers a lovely balance of traditional charm and practical family living. We've enjoyed making improvements over the years, particularly renovating the bathrooms and refreshing the interiors to create a comfortable and welcoming home.
However, I think what has made living here truly special is Kennington itself. When we first moved in, we never expected the village to offer quite so much! Everything you need is nearby, from the little corner shop just five minutes away to the Co-op, medical centre, library, post office, pubs and excellent facilities for families. We particularly love being surrounded by nature. 

With the river, beautiful woodland walks, peaceful fishing spots and green spaces practically on our doorstep, it really feels like living in the countryside. During the lockdowns, we discovered so many wonderful walks that we still enjoy today.

At the same time, Oxford, Abingdon and the surrounding areas are incredibly easy to reach, making it the perfect balance between village life and city convenience. Another highlight has been our neighbours. We've been incredibly fortunate to live alongside such lovely, friendly and helpful people. There's a genuine sense of community here, something we've really appreciated over the years. Ultimately, what we've enjoyed most is the lifestyle this home and its location have given us. The space, the peaceful surroundings, the convenience and the wonderful community have made it a very special place to live.
