About
Sandown Road, Bicester Seller's Comments: I have happily lived here for the past eight years and have loved its convenient location, with shops, transport links and open green spaces all close by.
During my time here, I have carried out a number of upgrades to the house to improve its comfort, appearance and energy efficiency, helping to reduce running costs.
Agent's Comments: Located on Sandown Road within the popular Kingsmere development in Bicester, this beautifully upgraded three-bedroom home offers stylish, modern living with a number of high-quality improvements throughout.
The property is entered via an entrance hall, complete with laminate flooring and a radiator, setting a clean and practical first impression.
To the right is a downstairs WC, finished with spotlights and extractor fan.
Leading through, the living room is a well-proportioned space with front aspect windows and continued laminate flooring to match the entrance hall.
A standout feature here is the bespoke carpentry, with custom-built storage units fitted neatly into the alcoves, maximising practicality.
The room also benefits from a feature electric fireplace with integrated TV wall mount above.
Thoughtfully designed, this setup includes hidden cable access behind a removable panel, along with concealed internet connections within the fitted storage, creating a clean, modern media wall without visible wiring.
To the rear, the kitchen is finished to a high standard, featuring marble-effect ceramic tiled flooring with the added benefit of underfloor heating.
The space includes white cabinetry, contrasting darker worktops, and an upgraded four-ring gas hob with splashback and extractor.
There is ample storage, space for freestanding appliances, and useful under-stairs storage. The kitchen also houses an Ideal Logic combi boiler. Upstairs, the property continues to impress.
The family bathroom has been fully upgraded with a striking black and white marble-effect design, featuring floor-to-ceiling tiling, a bath with shower over, glass screen with black trim, and matching black fixtures throughout, including taps, heated towel rail, and fittings, creating a cohesive, high-end finish.
Bedroom two is a generous double room overlooking the rear garden, enhanced by feature wall panelling and the addition of air conditioning, an uncommon and valuable upgrade.
This room also benefits from additional electrical work allowing for wall-mounted TV setup. Bedroom one is a spacious double with built-in wardrobes and a modern en-suite.
The en-suite has also been upgraded, featuring a double shower, marble-effect tiling, chrome fittings and built-in storage within the shower recess.
Bedroom three is a well-sized single room, ideal as a home office or nursery, with a front aspect window.
Additional storage is provided via a large cupboard on the landing and a loft space which is partially boarded with a fitted loft ladder, allowing for practical and easily accessible storage without compromising insulation.
Externally, the rear garden has been thoughtfully arranged for both relaxation and practicality.
A pergola at the rear creates an ideal seating area, complemented by outdoor power sockets for added convenience.
The property also benefits from eight solar panels, improving energy efficiency and helping to reduce running costs.
The location is a key advantage, with a Co-operative convenience store just 0.1 miles away, a local primary school within 0.2 miles, and Bicester Village train station approximately 1.2 miles away, offering excellent links for commuters.
Bicester town centre is also within 1.1 miles, providing a wide range of shops, restaurants, and amenities.
