5 bed detached house to rent

Parklands, Abingdon OX13

Property Reference: 2511745.

Spacious 5-Bedroom Home in a Quiet Gated Community with 23 Acres of Shared Grounds - OX13

We've loved living in this modern, well-designed 5-bedroom detached house, completed in 2021 and tucked away at the end of a quiet no-through road in a secure, friendly gated community near Cumnor. The setting is peaceful and green, with 23 acres of shared, beautifully maintained parkland right on the doorstep - perfect for walks, runs, and letting the kids explore safely.

Inside the House

The ground floor has a utility room and downstairs loo off the hallway, opening into a bright and spacious open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area with an gas fire and wide doors out to the garden. It's a great space for family life or having people over — lots of natural light and room to spread out.

Upstairs, the first floor has a main bedroom with en suite, two further bedrooms, and a family bathroom. The top floor includes a guest bedroom with en suite and a fifth bedroom, which we've used as both an office and a spare room.

There's a private garden, off-street parking on the drive, and a garage.

The Community and Location

This is a really safe, quiet place to live, with a small, welcoming community of neighbours and no through traffic. There are wide open green spaces around the estate — ideal for walking, running, or just relaxing outdoors. Footpaths lead through fields and along the river; we've really enjoyed exploring the area straight from our doorstep.

Oxford city centre is just 10 minutes by car, and there's a regular bus service into town from the entrance to the estate. The A420 is close by, offering easy connections to the A34 and wider road network.

For eating out, The Greyhound in Besselsleigh (walkable) is a proper local pub with good food and a cosy atmosphere. A little further away, The White Hart at Fyfield is a real gem for a special meal — great food in a lovely old building.

Local Schools

There are several excellent schools nearby, including:
- Cumnor C.E. Primary School - A well-regarded village school just 1.5 miles away
- Matthew Arnold School - A popular state secondary in Botley, about 10 minutes by car
- Abingdon School, St Helen and St Katharine, and Our Lady's Abingdon - Independent schools within a short drive
- Chandlings Prep School - A co-ed independent prep school just a few minutes away
- St Hugh's School, Carswell - Well-respected independent prep (close to Fyfield)

The house is also well placed for commuting to Oxford Science Park, Harwell Campus, and Milton Park.
