The property features a brick-paved driveway that allows for off-road parking for multiple vehicles. Inside, the layout is adaptable and offers ample living space. The ground floor includes a welcoming living room with a gas fire, a fitted kitchen/dining area that opens directly to the garden, and an additional bedroom accompanied by a shower room. Upstairs, there are two more bedrooms with substantial eaves storage, alongside a family bathroom. Outside, the south-facing garden envelops the home, providing an inviting and private outdoor space perfect for relaxation or entertaining guests. This property is located on the edge of the picturesque South Oxfordshire countryside and boasts excellent transport connections to central Reading via car, bicycle, or bus services that run frequently.
