Meadow Bank, Appleton
Set down a quiet private lane in the heart of Appleton, Meadow Bank occupies a generous quarter-acre plot with gardens that once housed the village well. Built in 1975 and owned by the same family ever since, this substantial detached home offers well-balanced accommodation, surrounded by a charming and historic setting.
The property is approached via Park Lane, a peaceful no-through lane that was once farmland belonging to the local manor. With Long Meadow opposite and traces of the village’s agricultural past nearby, the location is both picturesque and steeped in local heritage.
The house itself has not undergone any structural alterations, providing a well-preserved layout that is ready to adapt to personal requirement. Windows have been replaced in the past, and the property is heated by an oil-fired system with an 1,800-litre tank installed just two years ago.
The entrance hall is notably spacious, with stairs rising to the first floor. A cloakroom with flagstone flooring sits to one side. The dining room is a good size with a large front-facing window, while the generous dual-aspect living room enjoys two sets of doors onto the garden, far-reaching views, and open fireplace that remains uncapped and in use, having been swept annually. A study provides further flexibility for working from home.
The kitchen is fitted with Miele appliances, an induction hob, integrated fridge, and flagstone flooring, with scope to knock through to the dining room if preferred. A separate utility room offers a sink, space for appliances, rear access, and a personal door to the garage. The garage itself is a full double, with power, light, and an electric door.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom is a double with built-in cupboards, dual aspect, and an en suite bathroom with shower over the bath. The second bedroom is another large double with a shower cleverly concealed in a cupboard. The third double bedroom features dual aspect windows, a built-in cupboard, and a wash basin, while the fourth also has a built-in cupboard and sink. A family bathroom with bath and a separate linen cupboard on the landing complete the accommodation.
The gardens are a particular feature, wrapping around the house and facing south to the front. Well established and beautifully maintained, they include a summer house, a large shed, stone pathways, a patio accessed from the living room doors, and a well which was once the village well - retaining a piece of history. Parking is available on the driveway for up to three vehicles, with additional garaging. The property sits within green belt land, ensuring a protected rural feel, but offers excellent links for commuters with ease of access to London, via both Oxford and Didcot railway stations.
Meadow Bank is a rare opportunity to acquire a much-loved family home on a private lane in this desirable village, with wonderful gardens, spacious interiors, and scope to update to one’s own taste.
About Appleton
Appleton is a quintessential Oxfordshire village, rich in history and community spirit. Nestled between Oxford and the Cotswolds, it combines rural charm with excellent accessibility. The village is well known for its strong sense of community, with a popular pub, a village shop with café, a well-regarded Church of England primary school, and an active calendar of local events.
For commuters, Appleton is ideally positioned: Oxford can be reached in under 20 minutes by car, while nearby access to the A34 and A420 provides excellent links further afield. London is easily accessible via both Oxford and Didcot railway stations. The surrounding countryside offers beautiful walks and cycling routes, with the River Thames and the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty both close at hand.
Appleton is also notable for its historic ties to the local manor and its picturesque setting among rolling fields and green belt land, making it a highly sought-after location for those wanting a balance of rural peace and convenient access to town and city amenities.
