5 bed detached house for sale

Rowstock, Didcot OX11

A contemporary country house with open meadow views, generous family accommodation and excellent connections to Oxford and London. Offered with no onward chain.

A Home Open to the Landscape

Tucked along a small lane in Rowstock, Meadow View is one of just three individually built contemporary homes, completed in 2016. With over 2,700 sq ft of accommodation, five bedrooms and a garden overlooking open meadow, it offers the space and practicality of a modern family house in a setting with a distinctly rural outlook.

What makes Meadow View particularly appealing is the relationship between the house and its surroundings. From the principal bedroom to the main reception rooms, generous windows frame the countryside beyond, bringing natural light and changing seasonal views into everyday life.

Space to Come Together

The heart of the house is the expansive kitchen, dining and family room. Designed as a place to gather, it combines a generous central island with ample room for dining and relaxed seating, while bi-fold doors open directly onto the garden terrace.

During warmer months, the doors can be folded back to connect the kitchen and living spaces with the outdoors. In winter, the wood-burning stove creates a welcoming focal point, whether for quiet evenings at home or entertaining friends and family.

A separate sitting room, also opening onto the garden, offers a more private retreat. The dedicated study provides a practical space for working from home, while a generous utility room keeps the everyday demands of family life comfortably organised.

Underfloor heating throughout the ground floor, double glazing and an EPC B rating add to the appeal of this thoughtfully arranged contemporary home.

Room to Grow

Upstairs, five well-proportioned bedrooms provide flexibility for families, guests and changing requirements.

Two bedrooms benefit from en-suite bathrooms, complemented by a family bathroom. The principal bedroom is particularly appealing, with views across the garden and meadow beyond - a peaceful outlook to wake up to each morning.

A substantial boarded loft provides additional storage, with potential for further use subject to the necessary consents.

A Garden That Feels Part of the Countryside

The south-east-facing garden has been arranged with different places to sit and enjoy the light throughout the day.

The terrace adjoining the house is ideal for outdoor dining, while a further deck provides a place to enjoy the afternoon and early evening sun during the summer months.

Beyond the garden boundary, the adjoining meadow gives the property an unusually open outlook. It is this sense of space, combined with the direct connection between the principal rooms and the outdoors, that gives Meadow View much of its character.

A garage workshop and generous driveway parking complete the accommodation.
