Description

This semi-detached barn conversion offers a unique opportunity for renovation and investment within a tranquil rural setting. Nestled on approximately 1.25 acres, the property features four bedrooms and generous living spaces that are ripe for modernization. Despite its spacious layout, including a welcoming hall with a convenient WC, two reception rooms—one complete with an open fireplace—and a kitchen with an adjoining utility room, the home is in need of upgrades to meet contemporary standards. The first floor comprises three well-proportioned bedrooms, one of which includes an ensuite bathroom, along with an additional family bathroom. This layout presents flexible options for reconfiguring or enhancing the existing spaces according to personal preferences or market demands. Outside, the property boasts a driveway leading to a detached double garage and offers separate lane access to the land. The extensive garden and paddock not only provide ample outdoor space but also the potential for development, subject to obtaining necessary planning permissions. Located in Salford—a small hamlet recognized for its outstanding natural beauty—residents can enjoy the tranquility of rural living while being just two miles from Chipping Norton. This prime location may attract buyers seeking a peaceful retreat or investors looking to capitalize on the area’s charm. Additionally, it is worth noting that part of the paddock has undergone treatment for Japanese Knotweed and comes with PCA Insurance Backed Guarantee by Knotweed Services (UK Limited), adding peace of mind to future projects. The combination of location, land size, and existing structures presents significant potential for transformation into a desirable residence or investment property. Interested parties are encouraged to explore this opportunity further through viewings arranged on specified dates leading up to the upcoming auction.
