Description

Nestled on the edge of the picturesque Cotswolds, this detached property offers a unique opportunity for renovation and investment within the desirable village of Epwell, North Oxfordshire. Known for its charming stone houses and scenic countryside, the village provides a tranquil setting while remaining conveniently located near major road links. The area boasts a selection of local amenities, including a church and a well-regarded inn, with further shopping and educational facilities found in nearby villages such as Tysoe and Brailes. For more comprehensive services, Banbury and Shipston-on-Stour are just a short drive away. The property is also well-connected to larger urban centers, with easy access to the M40 motorway at Junction 40 in Banbury, facilitating travel to Oxford, London, and Birmingham. Built in the 1960s with later additions, this four-bedroom home presents an ideal canvas for those looking to create their dream residence. While spacious and flexible in its current layout, it would benefit from modernization to fully realize its potential as a family home. The property includes an adjacent former nursery school space that offers versatile options; it could continue operating under existing planning permissions or be repurposed into office space or additional residential units—subject to obtaining relevant consents. Set on approximately 0.45 acres, the grounds feature ample off-road parking at the front and a generous garden at the rear that descends towards a small brook. This outdoor space is primarily lawned but also includes various shrubs and fruit trees, creating an inviting environment for gardening enthusiasts or families. Inside, the accommodation comprises an entrance hall leading to a sitting room with a wood-burning stove. Double-glazed doors open into a garden room/conservatory that enhances natural light throughout the home. A study adjoins this area alongside an integral garage equipped with workbench space. The kitchen features an archway leading into the dining room, while one ground-floor bedroom comes complete with built-in wardrobes and access to a shower room. The first floor reveals three additional double bedrooms under eaves along with a family bathroom. The property's oil-fired boiler supports central heating and hot water supply—this home also benefits from solar panels for additional efficiency. This property is not only appealing for immediate habitation but holds significant potential for investment through renovation or redevelopment opportunities in such a sought-after location.
