Horseshoes Lane, Benson OX10

Tucked away in a peaceful no-through lane just moments from the heart of the village and the highly regarded primary school, this substantial four/five bedroom detached home offers exceptionally flexible family accommodation, a sunny south-facing garden and the rare advantage of no onward chain.

Beautifully proportioned throughout and thoughtfully arranged across two floors, the property combines practical modern living with a warm and welcoming atmosphere, ideally suited to growing families, multi-generational living or those seeking adaptable space to work from home.

The accommodation opens with an entrance hallway leading to a cloakroom and an impressive open-plan kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with integrated appliances, a range oven and ample space for everyday family life. To the rear, the sitting room centres around an attractive feature fireplace and enjoys French doors opening directly onto the garden, while the separate dining room also benefits from French doors to the terrace, creating an excellent flow for entertaining.

A particularly valuable feature of the home is the versatile ground floor bedroom suite, complete with wet room and utility area. Ideal as a fifth bedroom, guest suite, annexe space or independent accommodation for a relative, this flexible area significantly broadens the appeal of the property.

Upstairs are four well-balanced bedrooms comprising three generous doubles and a spacious single bedroom. The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room, complemented by a well-appointed family bathroom serving the remaining bedrooms.

Outside, the property continues to impress. To the front, a smart block-paved driveway provides comfortable parking for three vehicles, while gated side access leads to the rear garden. Enjoying a desirable southerly aspect, the garden has been designed for ease of maintenance and year-round enjoyment, with a patio seating area, artificial lawn, raised flower beds, outside tap and garden shed.

The house is notably economical to run, benefiting from modern solar panels and an electric heat pump which was installed for flexibility between between electric and gas. The gas boiler is a modern Worcester Bosch boiler making the property extremely Eco friendly. During the summer months the heating of water is effectively free.
