4 bed detached house for sale

Cothill Road, Abingdon OX13

Fenlands is an exceptional modern home set in a wonderfully peaceful position on Cothill Road, where woodland and wildlife form the daily backdrop, yet Abingdon is only a few minutes away and Oxford is within circa 20 minutes.

Behind aluminium gates, a generous gravel driveway leads to a striking, contemporary house with a distinctive red tiled roof and solar panels, sitting comfortably within its mature plot. Inside, the accommodation is bright, calm and beautifully proportioned, with an easy flow that suits both family life and entertaining. The heart of the home is the open plan kitchen and dining space, finished in a timeless palette with plentiful storage and worktop space, and room for a large table for everyday dining and hosting.

The living space continues into generous reception areas with wide glazed doors opening to the garden, creating a seamless connection between inside and out through the warmer months. Upstairs, the bedrooms are well sized and thoughtfully arranged, including a particularly impressive principal suite with vaulted ceilings and a sense of light and privacy. Bath and shower rooms are finished in a modern style, with clean lines and quality tiling. The loft is boarded to allow extra storage space.

Outside is where Fenlands truly sets itself apart. The gardens are established and private, with broad lawns, a stream, terraces for outdoor dining, and a superb raised woodland deck that feels like a destination in itself, perfect for evening drinks, weekend gatherings or simply listening to birdsong. A rear gate provides direct access to surrounding woodland walks, offering a lifestyle that is both tranquil and effortlessly connected to nature.
