This historically significant Grade II* listed manor house in a conservation area of an attractive Oxfordshire village presents a unique investment opportunity. Having been a beloved family residence for nearly fifty years, The Manor is ripe for modernization while still retaining its character and architectural allure. With outline planning permission already secured for an extensive renovation plan, the property offers the potential to create a contemporary living space that harmonizes with its historic features.
Proposed enhancements include an innovative Philip Johnson-inspired 'Glass House' extension of around 650 sq ft, designed to make the most of the beautifully maintained walled gardens. The plans also encompass the construction of a traditional oak-framed three-bay garage, which can be transformed into a two-storey office or studio space, contingent upon environmental assessments.
Inside, the property needs refurbishment in key areas such as the kitchen and roof void where there's scope to add an ensuite bedroom above. The internal layout could benefit from significant reconfiguration to improve functionality and comfort, enhancing modern living standards while respecting original details like stone mullioned windows and Jacobean oak panelling.
The expansive grounds feature enchanting gardens including a kitchen garden with fruit trees and room for vegetable plots, providing ample outdoor space for recreation or further development. Surrounded by scenic footpaths and rich with local history, this property not only offers spacious living but also represents a promising renovation project ideal for discerning buyers looking to blend history with modernity.
