3 bed detached house for sale

High Street, Sutton Courtenay, Abingdon, Oxfordshire OX14

This property is generously proportioned, with good-sized rooms on both levels and the potential for future expansion of "the West End", where planning permission is granted to convert the space into two further bedrooms and one en suite. The barn, with over 1400 sqft of space, also offers excellent potential to be used as a workshop or development opportunity, subject to planning.

This home has abundant period detail throughout, including fireplaces, wooden floors, and exposed beams. The bespoke solid wood kitchen with granite work surfaces and an island is the heart of the home and links to the dining area, creating a social family and entertaining space. The kitchen also has doors to the front and rear of the property, overlooking the gardens and the utility/boot room with stairs leading to the "the West End". There is also a sitting room and a snug, both of which are dual aspect, and benefit from the character themes found throughout the home. There is underfloor heating throughout the ground floor.

The first of the three bedrooms is on the ground floor, a change made by the current owners to create a versatile living space and to allow for a large feature bathroom upstairs with a walk-in shower, roll-top bath with floor-mounted taps, and bespoke sinks. Also on the first floor are two further bedrooms, arranged around a generous landing, brimming with charm. The large principal bedroom benefits from lofty ceiling height and built-in storage.

Externally, the property benefits from beautifully matured and well-tended front and rear gardens, with a range of trees, shrubs, and raised beds. There is also private off-road parking for several cars.
