Set within the Garden Quarter, a converted site once part of RAF Caversfield, with a nod to its historic military ancestry, The Bunker sits serenely behind its original bold red brick exterior. Conversely, within, the surprisingly bright and uplifting spaces transform the property into a home of luxurious modernity.
Whilst this unique property was designed as a two-bedroom residence, it is the quality of space, light and flow that truly defines it, rather than a simple room count — enhanced further by extensive built-in cupboards and shelving storage that keeps the interiors feeling calm, organised and uncluttered.
Life at The Bunker naturally centres around the expansive open-plan kitchen, dining and living room. This is a space made for living well. Generous proportions, clean architectural lines and an abundance of natural light create an atmosphere that feels calm yet social. Large rooflights draw daylight deep into the room, while the striking expanse of glass doors opens directly onto the private decked terrace beyond. In the warmer months, these doors are thrown open, blurring the boundary between inside and out — morning coffee in the sun, relaxed lunches, and long summer evenings entertaining friends all come effortlessly here. The decked area feels private and sheltered, an outdoor room in its own right, ideal for those who value both discretion and connection.
On the lower level, a further paved patio offers a more intimate and welcoming outdoor space, ideally positioned off the bedrooms, accessed through sliding glass doors. This quiet terrace is perfect for early morning coffees or moments of calm at the start of the day, adding another layer to the home’s thoughtful relationship between interior and exterior living.
Practicality has been considered just as carefully as design. A dedicated laundry room adds a touch of everyday luxury, keeping utilities discreetly tucked away, while the abundance of storage throughout the home ensures that form never compromises function.
The wider Garden Quarter offers a setting unlike anywhere else locally. Sensitively transformed into a low-density, design-led neighbourhood, the area celebrates its past while embracing modern living. Green open spaces, mature planting and the strong architectural identity of the former buildings give the quarter a sense of calm and character that feels intentional rather than manufactured. It’s a place where people walk, pause, and enjoy their surroundings — a community that feels established yet refreshingly individual.
Despite this peaceful atmosphere, the location is exceptionally well placed for modern life. Bicester lies just a short distance away, providing a broad range of everyday amenities, schools, cafés and restaurants. For something a little more vibrant, Bicester Village offers internationally renowned shopping, while Bicester Motion has become a destination in its own right — home to automotive specialists, creative businesses, stylish dining spots and regular events that bring energy and interest to the area.
Connectivity is another key strength. Bicester benefits from excellent transport links back to London, making The Bunker an appealing option for those balancing countryside living with city work. Fast and frequent rail services from Bicester North and Bicester Village stations connect directly to London Marylebone, offering a straightforward and reliable commute. Local bus routes provide easy access to surrounding villages, Bicester town centre and key transport hubs, while road links via the M40 place both London and Oxford within comfortable reach.
Ultimately, The Bunker is a lifestyle choice. It offers architectural interest without compromise, privacy without isolation, and connectivity without noise. It’s a home for those who value design, light and a sense of place — where mornings begin quietly on the lower patio, evenings are spent on the terrace, and the rhythm of life feels considered, calm and distinctly individual.
