The Property
A unique and rare opportunity to acquire an early 1960’s built 3 bedroom detached bungalow which has been the subject of much recent improvement, in a tranquil rural setting just 3 miles west of Abingdon on Thames, with paddock and gardens amounting to approx. 2 acres.
Planning Permission
Planning permission has recently been granted by the Vale of White Horse District Council for the demolition of existing dwelling and garage, and erection of replacement dwelling, annex and garage block. P25/V1550/FUL Please see the proposed computer-generated images herewith for a visual reference; detailed information of which can be found on the Vale of White Horse online planning portal.
The Location
Tucked away (almost hidden) down a long private driveway akin to a country lane, to the left of which is its own paddock bordered by woodland, and to the right of which is open farmland with far reaching views beyond. There is gated access to the rear of the property onto a tree fringed bridle path, connecting to a number of scenic lightly wooded countryside walks few are privileged to experience.
Rural but by no means isolated. Marcham is the nearest village, just a mile away with community store/Post Office, infant & primary school, pub (additional nearby pub/restaurants are available), church and petrol station. The historic market town of Abingdon is within 3 miles and provides more comprehensive shopping, schooling and recreational amenities.
Oxford is just 8 miles, whilst quick and easy access is available onto the nearby A34 connecting northbound to the M40, southbound to the M4. For commuters, Didcot Parking is approx 12 miles and provides a regular mainline connection to London Paddington in as little as 36 minutes. Keen golfers – treat yourselves to nearby Frilford Heath’s three 18-hole championship quality courses.
