Crimson Gardens, Elmsbrook, Bicester

A beautifully presented detached four-bedroom home, currently arranged as three bedrooms, occupying a generous corner plot on the edge of the highly regarded Elmsbrook development in Bicester. Originally purchased new in 2023, the property has been thoughtfully adapted and enhanced by the current owners, creating a home that combines contemporary family living with impressive outside space and excellent energy-efficiency credentials.

One of the property's most appealing features is its flexibility of accommodation. Originally designed as a four-bedroom home, the fourth bedroom has been incorporated into the main suite to create a substantial walk-in dressing room. The result is an impressive bedroom and dressing-room arrangement with extensive fitted storage. For buyers who require four bedrooms, the dressing room offers the potential to be converted back into a fourth bedroom, subject to any necessary consents and requirements.

The property is approached via a tucked away street, driveway parking for multiple vehicles, together with an EV charging point. Being positioned on a corner plot, the house benefits from additional external space and attractive landscaped borders to the front.

Inside, the entrance hallway leads to the ground-floor accommodation, including a convenient WC which has been adapted to incorporate a useful utility area. This provides dedicated space for white goods and additional household storage.

The main sitting room is a separate reception space, positioned away from the kitchen and dining area. This creates a comfortable room for relaxing while allowing the larger open-plan space to remain the social centre of the home. The kitchen and dining area provides a generous everyday living space, with a modern fitted kitchen incorporating a range of integrated Bosch appliances and a useful breakfast bar. There is ample room beyond the kitchen for a substantial dining table or additional seating, making the room well suited to both family life and entertaining.

Large patio doors open directly onto the rear garden, creating a strong connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces and allowing plenty of natural light into the room.
The rear garden is a particular highlight. The property's corner position has allowed the owners to create a substantial landscaped garden, with an extended patio immediately outside the house providing a generous area for outdoor dining and entertaining. From here, a paved pathway leads through the garden to a further seating area, surrounded by established planting, flower beds and shrubs. Raised beds provide additional planting space, while newly planted saplings towards the rear will mature over time. A natural stone wall forms part of the garden's boundary and adds definition to the different areas. The garden can be accessed directly from the house as well as through a personal gate from the driveway, making it particularly practical for bringing bikes, garden equipment and other items around to the rear without passing through the house.

The single garage has also been thoughtfully adapted, with part of the space currently arranged as a home gym, complete with suitable flooring and lighting. The remaining garage area continues to provide useful storage.

Upstairs, the current configuration provides three double bedrooms. Bedroom one is the standout accommodation. One of the former bedrooms has been reconfigured into a dedicated dressing room, providing a considerable amount of fitted storage including floor-to-ceiling wardrobes, hanging space and drawers. The dressing room also benefits from its own window and recessed lighting. Bedroom one retains its own en-suite, creating a spacious and private suite. The current arrangement gives the property a particularly generous main bedroom area rarely found in a modern three-bedroom home.

Importantly, for those looking for a four-bedroom property, the dressing room was originally an additional bedroom. The space could therefore potentially be returned to its original purpose, giving the property the flexibility to suit a growing family, subject to any necessary consents and requirements.

The remaining two bedrooms are both well-proportioned doubles and provide comfortable accommodation for family members, guests or those requiring dedicated home-working space. The home also benefits from modern bathroom and en-suite facilities, with modern sanitaryware, thermostatic shower fittings, heated towel rails and complementary wall and floor finishes.

Energy efficiency is another significant advantage. The property benefits from solar panels, rainwater harvesting, an efficient heating system and low-energy lighting, alongside double glazing and energy-efficient external lighting. The result is an impressive a-rated EPC with a rating of 102, providing excellent energy-efficiency credentials.

Positioned on the edge of Elmsbrook, the property combines a quieter setting with convenient access to Bicester and its extensive range of amenities, while the development itself is designed around energy efficiency and modern sustainable living.

Why Elmsbrook?

Elmsbrook is more than simply a modern housing development. It was planned as an eco-focused community, with sustainability incorporated into the homes and wider neighbourhood. Around 40% of the original development is open space, while features such as solar generation, rainwater harvesting, energy-efficient construction, cycle routes and sustainable transport were incorporated into the development's design.

That gives this property a particularly strong combination of modern family living, lower-maintenance outdoor space and energy-conscious technology, while still being within easy reach of Bicester's town centre and transport network.

Please note there is a management fee on the estate.
