Designed for accessible living
Extending to approximately 1,953 sq ft across three floors, the house provides considerably more space than many adapted properties and would suit families or those requiring additional space for guests or home office.
The ground floor has been designed to allow easy movement between the main living spaces and has direct ramped access to the front door. Multiple outside power points and other amenities make it easy to charge and clean equipment.
A large utility room situated near the front door contains a washing machine and dryer together with a sink with rinsing tap and plenty of drying and storage space.
The living room is spacious, with patio doors leading out to the garden and an open plan design leading to a large conservatory/dining room, creating a light-filled living and entertaining space.
The extended kitchen and breakfast room is bright and spacious, with quartz worktops, an induction hob and large rooflights bringing plenty of natural light into the area. Has access to the garden and lots of integral storage.
On the first floor there are two bedrooms, including a large master bedroom with dual aspect windows and a smaller bedroom which makes an ideal home office. The floor also houses the main bathroom, which is wheelchair accessible, and a south-facing balcony overlooking Boundary Park. The bathroom is quite large and is currently configured with WC, basin and a bath area with bathing seat and hand-held shower attachment. However, other configurations including a roll-in or transfer seat shower with curtain or folding screen would be achievable with some minor work.
The second floor provides two further double bedrooms, one of which is particularly large, with dual aspect windows and a small en-suite shower room.
The loft is part-boarded and provides additional long-term storage space to complement the existing substantial storage in the kitchen, hallway cupboards and large exterior shed.
A lift to every floor
One of the home's most important accessibility features is its high-specification domestic lift with weight capacity of 500kg and 1,100mm x 1,400mm dimensions.
Unlike adaptations that provide access to only part of a property, the lift is large enough for a wheelchair user to use while remaining in their wheelchair and covers all three floors, making the bedrooms and living accommodation throughout the house accessible.
The lift was installed 5 years ago and has been fully maintained, with a £480 p.a. maintenance contract that includes four visits a year and emergency call out service.
A truly accessible garden
The rear garden has been landscaped to create a completely step-free outdoor space, with level paved pathways providing wheelchair access through the garden.
Large porcelain paving slabs create a smooth route towards the garden shed, while established planting provides colour and interest.
The garden also benefits from exterior power points. To the front of the property there are level paved areas, a ramp leading to the front door and a driveway with parking for two cars.
Energy efficiency
The house also benefits from energy and sustainability features, including:
-
Solar photovoltaic panels
-
Existing Solar Feed-in Tariff
-
EV charging point (Ohme)
-
Gas central heating
-
EPC rating C
-
Triple Window Glazing to some windows, with double glazing to the rest

Floor Plan & Location
Overlooking Boundary Park
The house occupies an attractive position directly opposite Boundary Park, providing extensive green space and sports facilities virtually on the doorstep.
Boundary Park Pavilion is at the heart of the park and provides a welcoming community hub, with a public bar, function room and outdoor terrace overlooking the cricket pitch. The park itself offers cricket, rugby and football pitches, tennis courts and a multi-use games area, and is home to a number of local sports clubs. The Pavilion and park also host community and social events throughout the year.
Bus stops are just seconds from the property, providing connections towards Didcot Parkway station, Milton Park and the surrounding area.
Accessible transport connections
The property is well located for wheelchair users who rely on public transport. Bus stops on Juniper Way and at Boundary Park Pavilion are just moments from the house, with the 33/33A services providing connections to Didcot, Didcot Parkway, Milton Park and surrounding areas.
The 33A service stopping at Juniper Way is listed as wheelchair accessible, providing an important step-free public transport option close to the property. The route connects Great Western Park with key local destinations including Didcot and Milton Park.
Step Free Access
For longer journeys, Didcot Parkway provides particularly good accessible rail connections. The station is classified as Step-Free Category A, meaning there is step-free access to all platforms. Platforms are accessible by lift, with Platform 1 also accessible via a ramp from the front of the station.
The station also provides accessible toilets, accessible ticket machines, wheelchairs, staff assistance and ramps for boarding trains, while accessible taxis are available from the station. Passenger Assistance can also be arranged for rail journeys.
From Didcot Parkway there are direct rail services to destinations including Reading, Oxford and London Paddington, making the property well placed for both local and longer-distance travel.
Local amenities
The property is well placed for everyday amenities, healthcare and schools, with many facilities available within Great Western Park and the wider Didcot area.
For day-to-day shopping, Asda Didcot Supermarket on Greenwood Way is around 0.4 miles away, while further supermarkets and shops are available in Didcot town centre.
Healthcare facilities are also close by. Didcot Community Hospital on Wantage Road is approximately 1 mile from the Juniper Way area, with a bus stop at the hospital. Didcot also has several GP practices, including Woodlands Medical Centre, Didcot Health Centre and Oak Tree Health Centre.
Families have a good choice of schools nearby. Stephen Freeman Primary School and Didcot Primary Academy are both approximately 0.4 miles away, while Aureus Primary School is under a mile away. Secondary options include Aureus Secondary School and UTC Oxfordshire at at half a mile, and Didcot Girls' School at approximately 0.8 miles.
Together with Boundary Park directly opposite, nearby bus services and step-free rail connections from Didcot Parkway, the property offers good access to everyday services, education, healthcare, shopping and leisure facilities.
Why view this property?
Accessible family homes of this type can be extremely difficult to find, particularly where adaptations provide access to the whole property rather than simply creating accessible accommodation on the ground floor.
The owners are eager to see their property purchased by a wheelchair user family who can fully benefit from the work that has already gone into making this a genuinely accessible home.
For someone looking for a wheelchair accessible property in Oxfordshire, this offers the opportunity to purchase an established home where many of the significant accessibility adaptations are already in place and with the rare inclusion of a full lift to all floors.
Guide price: £650,000
