Description

This property presents a unique opportunity for renovation enthusiasts or savvy investors looking to capitalize on its potential. Featuring three bedrooms, the existing structure requires significant refurbishment, making it an ideal canvas for someone with the vision to reimagine the space. Whether you aim to undertake a complete restoration or prefer to start anew, this site provides a solid foundation for creating your ideal home. Accompanying the house is a detached garage, which is currently in need of demolition. However, this aspect could be transformed into an asset; with appropriate planning permissions, there's potential to replace and reposition the garage. This flexibility not only enhances parking convenience but also allows for an optimized layout that could better suit contemporary needs. Buyers can seize this chance to design a modern garage or outbuilding tailored specifically to their preferences. Situated in Wantage, a historic market town in Oxfordshire, this property benefits from both charm and functionality. Known for its beautiful landscapes and rich history, Wantage boasts a range of local amenities including shops, dining options, schools, and recreational facilities. While it lacks a railway station, the town is well-connected by roadways that easily link to surrounding areas—ideal for those who want to enjoy quaint village life while remaining within commuting distance of larger urban centers. Wantage's blend of historical significance and modern living offers residents a vibrant community atmosphere filled with events and festivals year-round. With its reasonable cost of living and variety of housing styles—from period homes to modern builds—this area presents an appealing option for those looking to invest wisely in real estate.
