Balliol Close, Tackley, OX5

A flexible three/four-bedroom detached bungalow set in a quiet cul de sac location in the historic and well situated village of Tackley, 7 minutes from Woodstock and Blenheim Palace, 20 mins from Oxford. The property has been extensively renovated by the current owners to make a wonderful, light, family home. The largest structural change within the property, which created a bright, new, expansive family living area, was opening up the kitchen/lounge and dining rooms to create a delightful open plan living space, complete with new vaulted cedar ceiling, modern kitchen and new water based underfloor heating. This re design created a bright and airy room, with sunset views over the village, rural landscape and forms the centre of the home to provide an excellent space for entertaining or quiet family time.

The front of the house has been completely redesigned, creating a welcoming contemporary / rustic look with white render and grey cladding, new curving dry stone wall and path, lavender and various gravel garden planting, new expanded gravel off street parking for 3-4 cars, and beautiful low maintenance wildflower meadow. 

Other benefits include oak and stone floors throughout much of the property, redecoration and recently installed grey aluminium windows, doors and velux roof windows. The renewed heating system includes a bosch worcester boiler installed in 2021.

From the entrance hall there is access to the main rooms to include a study/small bedroom to the front, the large bright and airy family/kitchen room, separate utility room, three bedrooms, family bathroom and a further reception room that’s currently used as a snug with wood burning stove and sliding door into the garden. The master bedroom also benefits from morning light from the French doors into the garden and an en-suite bathroom.

To the rear of the property is a private and enclosed rear garden that offers the benefit of not being overlooked, having mature trees and shrubs surrounding, a contemporary grey decking and curved meandering lawns.  The rear garden also offers a large garden studio that could be used as a home office or as a great ‘get a way’ garden space. There is also a central mature apple tree at the heart of the garden and a modern garden shed. The roof holds two solar panel arrays that are registered with the feed in tariff system.
