Don’t Judge A Book By Its Cover! Look behind the stone exterior and you’ll find a modernised, much improved family home. If you thought all bungalows were tired, dated and just for OAP’s this spacious and versatile semi might just change your mind…

Keep an open mind and this spacious dormer bungalow could be a fantastic choice for a family, particularly if you have someone living with you who struggles with stairs. And you needn’t worry about bungalows being dated and in need of updating - there isn’t a hint of Anaglypta wallpaper or any swirly Wilton carpets to be seen!

You really could move in and make yourselves at home. It has a traditional layout with an open plan lounge / dining room with a separate kitchen. It’s all decorated in a simple neutral style.

The lounge and dining room have been opened up to create one large, sociable space. There's a gorgeous inglenook with a wood-burning stove as the focal point. French doors lead from the dining area to the low maintenance back garden, which has a choice of seating areas and a small lawn. 

There’s also a large garden shed and a single garage. The garage is used for storage as the extension at the front (used as the handy utility room) prevents a car from passing through to the garage at the rear. You might manage it in a Smart Car…If you work from home and want to get some peace to do some work or make a call you’ll certainly appreciate the fantastic bespoke garden office.

The kitchen is stylish and modern with a breakfast bar and a range cooker. None of the precious kitchen cupboard space is wasted thanks to the handy utility room with more storage and room for your appliances.The family bathroom is equally up-to-date, with both a bath and a double shower cubicle. It’s on the ground floor, next to one of the three double bedrooms, making it ideal for an older relative or someone who struggles with stairs.

The garden room is the perfect addition to any home. This versatile space has endles possibilities and can be tailored to fit your specific needs. Whatever you`re looking for a home office, a cozy spot for watching Tv or a private space for your teeneger, the garden room has got you covered. 

There’s another two double bedrooms upstairs, one with an en-suite w/c.  Despite not being able to pass the utility room there’s ample off-road parking on the drive (with space for a couple of cars). If you’re looking for somewhere quiet to bring up your family this could be the ideal spot. Manor Park is a quiet cul-de-sac in a peaceful Oxfordshire village (the northernmost village in Oxfordshire, no less).

Schooling is important so it’s good to know that the nearest primary school is just a short drive away in Cropredy, with the school bus stop being 10 meters away from the house (and it’s rated “Good” by Ofsted). Older kids have a little further to travel to North Oxfordshire Academy in Banbury (another “Good” school), which is around 15 minutes drive away. 

It takes around a quarter of an hour to get into Banbury town centre and around the same time to get to the M40 if you’re heading further afield. If you’re willing to keep an open mind about bungalows this extended and improved property could be the ideal place to bring up your family. Or if you are a little older (but still young at heart) the stylish downstairs bathroom and modern kitchen could be perfect for you to move in and make yourself at home.

The village provides access to numerous rural pursuits, with riding stables, clay pigeon shooting grounds and fishing waters all on the doorstep, not to mention the various footpaths and bridleways for leisurely walks, including along the pathways of the nearby Oxford canal.

The parish church, the Church of St. James the Great, stands prominently in the centre of the village. The north aisle is an Early English chapel called The Lady Aisle and dates from around 1200.

The village of Cropredy is just 2 miles away and offers a doctors surgery, primary school, two pubs, a village store and a small café.
