Formerly the village doctors, this local gem comes to the market for the first time since the 1950`s. This 4,000 sq ft, 6 double bedroom detached home sits in a well-maintained plot of circa 0.57 acres and comes with full planning permission for an additional 2,300 sq ft four bedroom, three bathroom detached house with garage to be built within the grounds.
The existing home has vast and sprawling accommodation with numerous rooms offering a unique opportunity to create a landmark home with some reconfiguration. There is extensive driveway parking, a double garage with large room above, six bedrooms, and several rooms on the ground floor which have historically had a variety of uses.
Consent was granted last year for an exceptional 2,346 sq ft property which would boast a statement kitchen-diner-family room, four bedrooms, and three bathrooms. Full details can be provided on request from Thomas Merrifield or alternatively from the South Oxfordshire District Council planning portal using reference P24/S0645/FUL.
In brief; there is existing access and the build would involve the comparatively simple demolition of the derelict conservatory on the existing house. There is an extensive driveway and well-maintained gardens which largely sit to the side and rear of the property offering a very pleasant aspect. For the unique potential of the house and plot to be fully appreciated, the property must be viewed.
