Maison, Eaton Road, Appleton, Abingdon, Oxfordshire

The detached house was originally constructed in the 1960s and later extended and improved to make a contemporary home with country-inspired charm. The house is enveloped by attractive wraparound gardens and has the added benefit of a detached leisure wing which houses the indoor swimming pool, a huge bonus in this central village position.

Visitors are welcomed into a light and inviting reception hall leading to a spacious sitting room, a separate dining room with wood-burning stove and a warm and well-appointed kitchen and breakfast room, which features handsome inky blue cabinetry around a central island and breakfast bar, increasing the work surface space. The country feel is contributed to by the range stove and the matching wooden surfaces and floors. On the north side of the house there is a useful space which currently serves as an annexe, including a shower room, living room/kitchen and a first floor bedroom, or could be easily incorporated back into the main house – perfect for multigenerational living. Upstairs the four double bedrooms are well proportioned and each has its own individual style. The principal bedroom features built-in wardrobes and an en suite bath/shower room, and there is a further family bathroom.
