Description

This three-bedroom detached bungalow is situated within the esteemed Shotover Country Park, presenting a unique opportunity for buyers interested in property enhancement. Occupying a substantial quarter-acre plot, the residence features well-established gardens and a detached garage, along with abundant possibilities for extension or reconfiguration (pending planning approval). Nestled on The Ridings, a serene no-through road, the location offers immediate access to the lush woodlands and walking trails of Shotover Country Park, appealing to both nature enthusiasts and families. Despite its tranquil atmosphere, this home maintains convenient proximity to central Headington, Oxford city centre, various hospitals, and key transport routes like the A40 and M40. Inside, tenants will find a bright living room with dual aspects, three comfortably sized bedrooms, a fitted kitchen and a family bathroom. While it has been maintained adequately over the years, there is significant scope for modernisation to transform it into a tailored family haven in this prestigious neighbourhood. The extensive gardens surrounding the bungalow provide privacy and ample space for entertaining or further development. Additionally, a detached garage complemented by plentiful driveway parking increases its practical allure.
