Description

Nestled in the picturesque village of Postcombe, this three-bedroom semi-detached cottage presents a promising opportunity for renovation and potential expansion, subject to necessary planning approvals. The property is located on a tranquil side road, offering privacy while still being conveniently close to major transport links. With Junction 6 of the M40 just a short four-minute drive away, commuting is made easy. The cottage features a cozy sitting room that invites relaxation, alongside a kitchen spacious enough to accommodate a breakfast table. A three-piece family bathroom completes the ground floor layout. Upstairs, the accommodation comprises a generous double bedroom along with two additional single bedrooms, providing flexibility for family living or guest arrangements. One of the standout features of this property is its exceptionally large garden. This expansive outdoor space not only enhances the appeal of the home but also holds significant potential for landscaping or even additional developments with proper permissions. In front, a shared driveway allows parking for several vehicles, adding to the convenience of this residence. Postcombe is known for its serene rural atmosphere while still providing easy access to urban amenities. The village's history dates back to the 7th century and it boasts close proximity to both Thame's market town offerings—just four miles away—and Oxford’s extensive facilities, only 12 miles distant. Local transportation options include the nearby Oxford Tube coach service to London, which stops at Lewknor approximately 1.7 miles from the property. In summary, this cottage not only serves as a comfortable home but also stands as an excellent investment opportunity in a desirable location ripe for modernization and personalization.
