Description
This four-bedroom detached bungalow in Shillingford has been held by the same owners for over 50 years and is now offered as a modernisation project. It provides more than 1,500 sq ft of accommodation, with four bedrooms and three reception rooms, on a plot of just under 0.3 acres at the end of a cul-de-sac.
The property is not presented as ready to move into, and the listing notes that work is required. Its size and plot give buyers scope to update the existing accommodation and consider how best to use the available space. An independent survey report commissioned by the owners is available to prospective purchasers.
The bungalow is close to countryside walks and Warborough Primary School, with connections towards Oxford, Reading and London. The listing states that the property has gas central heating and an EPC rating of E. Buyers should verify the property details and any proposed changes through their own professional advice.

Grade BGood opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £500,000, this four-bedroom detached bungalow is priced at £328/sq ft, 27% below the local average—a strong entry point for a buyer looking to create value. The 1,524 sq ft layout, three reception spaces and just-under-0.3-acre plot give the project plenty to work with, while the lawn and patio are already usable.
The value-add is a medium-scale modernisation: dated finishes run through several rooms, including the kitchen and bathroom, and sections of reception-room flooring are damaged or missing. The exterior appears broadly intact in the available views, though the roof condition cannot be confirmed. The supplied renovation range is £45,000–£85,000; using its £65,000 midpoint gives a £565,000 purchase-plus-works figure, before stamp duty and fees, against an implied local-average value of about £684,600. That comparison is not a GDV or a guarantee of resale value.
Key opportunities
- Modernise the dated kitchen and bathroom, including the shower-room finishes.
- Refresh decoration and flooring across the shown rooms, repairing the damaged or missing sections of reception-room floor.
- Make the most of the 1,524 sq ft, four-bedroom layout and just-under-0.3-acre plot; tidy the garden edges while retaining its usable lawn and patio.
Key risks
- Sections of reception-room flooring are visibly damaged or missing, so repair or replacement should be allowed for in the works budget.
