4 bedroom end of terrace house

Set between Oxford and Bicester, this nicely presented four-bedroom end of terrace house is one of 14 properties set around an attractive private green in the heart of a sought-after village, benefiting from a main line railway station, for sale by Public Auction on Wednesday 25th February 2026.

Built in the mid 1960’s, this nicely presented house offers generous accommodation totalling 1,300 sq. ft. and it has been refurbished in recent years to now offer contemporary fixtures and fittings, including refitted kitchen & bathroom, plus a log burner installed in the sitting room. To the rear is an attractive enclosed private garden and the house forms part of a private close of just 14 freehold properties, each benefitting from a 14th share of the communal areas that comprise the attractive communal green to the foreground of the house, and the parking areas.

This communal space is run by the Garden Residents Association, a resident-run association (no management company) helping to keep annual costs low at below £250 per annum. No.14 benefits from an allocated parking space as well as additional parking within the close which is communal and unallocated. The close has communal EV charging, supplied at domestic electricity rates with fast chargers for which there is no separate EV service charge – residents pay only for the electricity used.

The completion date will be extended beyond the standard 20 business days to be on or before the 31st March.
