5 bed detached house for sale

Appleton Road, Oxford OX2

Tucked away in the sought-after village of Cumnor, we are pleased to bring to market this wonderfully spacious and tastefully modernised family home that blends 1950s original architecture with sleek, contemporary design. Since 2019, the current owners have transformed the property throughout, creating a warm and versatile space ideal for modern family living and entertaining.

Set behind a gravelled driveway with parking for several vehicles, this five-bedroom detached home offers fantastic kerb appeal and backs onto a beautifully landscaped, north-west facing garden stretching approximately 100ft. The carport and garage have been thoughtfully rebuilt, with the original garage now converted into a generous second reception room — perfect as a home office, gym, or playroom.

Step inside to find a bright and welcoming entrance hall with under-stairs storage and stylish new doors and carpets throughout. The spacious living room features a large front window and double doors through to the heart of the home: A modern open-plan kitchen/breakfast room fitted with quartz worktops, AEG appliances, and ample storage. This flows seamlessly into the stunning orangery-style dining room, bathed in natural light from skylights and garden-facing French doors — perfect for hosting or relaxing with family.

Additional ground-floor spaces include a dedicated utility room with garden access and a contemporary cloakroom with WC and large basin.

Upstairs, five well-proportioned bedrooms offer flexibility for growing families or those working from home. The principal bedroom enjoys countryside views, a walk-in dressing area (currently used as a study), and a stylish en suite with a double walk-in shower.

Three further doubles (two with lovely garden or front-facing views) and a smaller fifth bedroom with skylight are served by a sleek family bathroom featuring a rainfall shower over the bath.

Externally, the extensive rear garden is a real highlight — private and peaceful with a brand-new patio laid in 2024, lawned area, and a garden shed, offering plenty of room for children to play or adults to unwind.

Eco-conscious buyers will appreciate the fully paid-off solar panels which generate a substantial credit, a modern gas boiler (installed 2 years ago), and high-speed Gigaclear fibre internet. The property has also undergone a full window upgrade (2020).

This exceptional home is positioned just moments from village amenities, excellent local schools, and scenic countryside walks.

A rare opportunity to secure a turnkey home in one of Oxfordshire’s most desirable villages.
