Land to the East of Orchard Stables, Burcot, OX14

A site in Burcot is offered with an approved scheme for a four-bedroom contemporary home designed by A’Bear & Ball Architects. The proposed house has twin gables, a standing-seam metal roof, white render and timber cladding, with approximately 289 m² (3,111 sq ft) of gross internal area including the detached double garage and studio. The ground floor is planned around an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, with a vaulted dining space, separate lounge, snug or study, utility room, plant room and WC. Upstairs are four bedrooms, including two with en-suites and balconies, plus a family bathroom. The garage is designed with a WC and an upper-floor studio or home office. The plans also show parking and turning space for four cars, an air source heat pump, MVHR, solar panels and battery storage. Planning permission is in place, with a later variation removing the flood-risk condition and changing the drainage and tree-protection conditions to compliance conditions. The listing states that the approved drainage schemes are in place. The site is around 150 metres from the River Thames and is described as outside the flood zone, within the Oxford Green Belt. It is accessed via a private road with a right of access. The existing garage is reported to contain asbestos, and the proposed build would use a septic tank. A CIL liability notice is noted, with no self-build relief claimed. Burcot is a small hamlet in South Oxfordshire, with Clifton Hampden and Dorchester-on-Thames nearby. The A415 provides access towards Abingdon and Culham station, while Didcot Parkway offers rail services to London Paddington. Permission in Principle has also been granted on neighbouring land for between two and four dwellings, subject to a Technical Details Consent application before that scheme can proceed. Interested parties should review the planning documents, access arrangements, site conditions and associated liabilities as part of their due diligence.
