5 bed semi-detached house for sale

Fitzharrys Road, Abingdon OX14

An increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a sizeable former aere (Atomic Energy Research Establishment) semi-detached house, built in the mid /late 1950’s and subsequently extended on the ground floor to provide five bedrooms in all, including a particularly generous ground floor bedroom and en-suite which would lend itself to a variety of uses.

While it might benefit from some updating, the generously proportioned accommodation has been well maintained and is light and airy throughout, with all rooms taking full advantage of a pleasant outlook. The rear garden with its lovely backdrop of mature trees is a most attractive feature of the property.

Built within the parklike grounds where the Fitzharris Manor House once stood, the property is situated within a mile to the north of Abingdon’s historic Thameside town centre. This thriving market town provides comprehensive shopping and recreational facilities in addition to a bustling café/restaurant life. Within the immediate area there is an excellent range of schools, both state and private, providing for all ages. The nearby A34 connects northbound to Oxford (8 miles) and the M40, and southbound to the M4. For commuters, Didcot Parkway is approximately 8 miles away and provides a regular mainline connection to London in as little as 36 minutes.
