Description

Nestled in the desirable village of Benson, this three-bedroom semi-detached property presents a compelling opportunity for renovation and investment. While it currently requires modernization, its fundamental features offer a solid foundation for potential buyers to create a personalized living space. The layout includes an entrance hall that flows into a spacious lounge, a functional kitchen, and a bathroom. The three bedrooms provide ample space for family living or the possibility of reconfiguring the interior to maximize its appeal. A notable feature is the driveway that accommodates parking for three vehicles, leading to a detached single garage—ideal for storage or as a workshop. The south-facing garden not only enjoys sunlight throughout the day but also features a patio area perfect for outdoor gatherings and a garden shed for additional storage. Amenities include gas central heating and UPVC double glazing, providing energy efficiency while you plan your updates. Benson itself is an active community located near the scenic River Thames. The village boasts an array of local conveniences on its High Street, such as shops, grocery stores, and dining options. Families will appreciate the quality primary school and recreational facilities found in the nearby large local park, which includes play areas and sports courts. With excellent transport links to Wallingford, Henley-on-Thames, Reading, and Oxford—and just 15 minutes from Junction 5 of the M40—this location offers both charm and accessibility. This property not only allows for immediate residential enjoyment but also holds considerable potential as an investment opportunity in a thriving area.
