Offered to the market with NO ONWARD CHAIN, this detached bungalow presents a rare opportunity to acquire a spacious and versatile property set on a generous plot along a private road. Situated at Old London Road, Wheatley, this three-bedroom home combines excellent potential for modernisation with enviable access to local amenities. Priced at an guide of £575,000, the property is ideally suited to buyers seeking a project or those with an eye for development, subject to the relevant consents.
The main accommodation is arranged over one level, with entry at the lower ground floor level adjacent to a covered parking space, and comprises two spacious reception rooms, three well-proportioned bedrooms, and two bathrooms. The layout offers flexibility for comfortable family living, with generous natural light throughout and scope to reconfigure or extend to suit individual needs. Oil fired central heating is in place (with gas available in the road), providing year-round comfort.
One of the standout features of this property is its location: 'Ponderosa' sits on a quiet, sought-after private road, just a short walk from the heart of Wheatley village. The bustling village centre offers a range of day-to-day amenities including charming local shops, cafes, a post office, and several public houses. Supermarkets including a Co-op and Asda are within walking distance, while larger retail outlets can be found in nearby Headington or Cowley – just a 15-minute drive away.
Wheatley is well served for education, with several highly regarded schools close by, including Wheatley Church of England Primary School and Wheatley Park School. The excellent range of schools and universities of Oxford are also within easy reach, enhancing the location's appeal for families and academics alike. For leisure, the village offers picturesque countryside walks, sports clubs and a local leisure centre with gym and sporting facilities.
Excellent transport links are another key advantage. The nearby A40 and M40 provide direct routes to London and Birmingham, making this property ideal for commuters. Oxford Railway Station is approximately 7 miles away, offering fast and frequent services to London Paddington and beyond. For international travel, London Heathrow Airport is around an hour's drive via the M40.
Healthcare needs are well catered for with a local GP surgery and pharmacy in the village, and the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford is easily accessible by car or public transport.
With enormous potential to renovate or redevelop (subject to the usual planning permissions), this truly is a must-see property for those seeking space, privacy and opportunity in a prime village location. Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the scope and appeal of this unique home.
