This unique property features a former agricultural Dutch Barn, complete with a Lean-To extension, set on a spacious 0.5-acre lot. Located within a small cluster of three neighboring residential properties, this barn presents an exciting opportunity for renovation and investment in a picturesque rural setting.
Recently granted detailed planning permission by the Vale of White Horse Council on June 30, 2023, this site is poised for transformation into a generous five-bedroom dwelling. The plans include an attached double garage and an annexe, offering substantial living space with a total approximate floor area of 4,556 square feet (3,335 sq ft for the house, 562 sq ft for the garage, and 659 sq ft for the annexe). This conversion project provides significant potential for appreciation in value as residential conversions in the area are increasingly sought after.
The location benefits from scenic views towards Uffington White Horse Hill and easy access to local bridlepaths and footpaths leading up to the Ridgeway, enhancing its appeal to outdoor enthusiasts. Woolstone village is conveniently just over a mile away to the south and offers additional amenities such as the charming White Horse pub. Uffington is similarly close and hosts further conveniences including a primary school, post office, shop, and another local pub.
Larger market towns like Faringdon and Wantage are also within reasonable driving distance at approximately 7.5 miles and 8.5 miles respectively, providing secondary schooling options alongside supermarkets and other retail facilities. Families will appreciate the proximity to reputable independent schools such as Pinewood and St Hugh’s, with further options available in Abingdon and Oxford.
Utilities include access to electricity and BT services on-site; mains water is supplied through a private source connected to Cowleaze Farm. Foul drainage will require installation of a new sewage treatment plant while storm drainage can potentially be routed into a small stream at the rear of the property, subject to required permissions.
With its planning approval already established and its prime location within a quaint community surrounded by stunning landscapes, this property holds considerable potential for those looking to invest in or develop a residential retreat. Viewings can be arranged through Waymark.
