Description

This detached bungalow is situated on an elevated plot of just under one acre within a designated National Landscape, offering stunning views and a rare sense of privacy. Ideally located towards the rear of its generous grounds, the property presents an excellent opportunity for creative refurbishment or redevelopment, allowing new owners to tailor the space to their desires. While the bungalow is currently livable, it requires significant updates and modernization to fully capitalize on its potential. Notably, some original Crittall windows remain and there is asbestos that will need addressing in any renovation plans. With planning permission already secured for the conversion of a nearby barn, this property could further enhance its value through extension or transformation into a modern family home. The peaceful rural setting provides easy access to the historic Market Place in Wantage, known for its vibrant community and array of local amenities. As properties like this seldom arise in such appealing locations, it represents a truly exceptional investment prospect for those looking to create a bespoke residence amidst Oxfordshire's scenic landscape.
