Description

Nestled within a generous 3920 sq ft plot, this original three-bedroom cottage in the desirable village of Long Wittenham presents a unique renovation or redevelopment opportunity. The property is currently chain-free, making it an ideal prospect for those looking to invest in a project with substantial potential. Previously, planning permission was granted for a replacement home spanning approximately 2500 square feet, allowing for the creation of a spacious and modern residence tailored to contemporary living. Interested buyers can explore this option further through South Oxfordshire District Council (Application No: P21/S3004/FUL). Long Wittenham itself is characterized by its charming blend of architectural styles and scenic countryside, providing a serene setting for families and individuals alike. The village boasts a well-regarded primary school and features quaint pubs and restaurants, alongside numerous walking trails that highlight the area's natural beauty. For those seeking more urban amenities, Didcot is less than four miles away, offering direct train access to London in under 40 minutes. This nearby town has undergone significant development, including the £50 million investment in the Orchard Centre, which now hosts popular retailers such as H&M and Costa Coffee among others. Additionally, Didcot provides diverse leisure options including cinemas and various sports facilities. Abingdon-on-Thames is also within easy reach at 5.5 miles away, where you’ll find an array of shops, dining establishments, and recreational centers. With both private and state schools readily available in the area—including the sought-after European School in Culham—families will find ample educational choices. The location not only offers immediate access to local conveniences but also positions itself close to noteworthy attractions like White Horse Hill and Wittenham Clumps. This property holds considerable investment potential whether you choose to renovate the existing structure or pursue new construction.
