Description

Lower Berrick Farmhouse dates back to the 16th century and is incredibly pretty from the outside, with a gentle brook running across the front and a setting that feels properly peaceful. Yet you’re still within easy reach of Wallingford, Oxford, and well placed for commuting to Reading and London.

It’s important to say from the outset though, this is a project and therefore aimed at Cash Buyers only, due to the condition. The house requires a full programme of renovation, so buyers need to come with the right mindset and vision. That said, the foundations are all here to create something truly special.

Inside, there’s a huge amount of character to work with. Original beams, flagstone floors and period doors run throughout, along with two large inglenook fireplaces in the main reception rooms. There are five bedrooms and four reception spaces in total, giving plenty of flexibility once updated.

Outside, the plot extends to around 0.88 acres, with a gravelled driveway providing extensive parking. There’s also a detached barn, which is also listed, offering further potential for conversion into additional accommodation or workspace, subject to the usual consents. In addition, a separate one-acre paddock sits in front of the house, ideal for those wanting a bit of land.

This is not a turnkey home, but for someone looking to take on a character property and create something quite special, it’s a rare opportunity in a beautiful setting.

Secure Sale & Buyer Information Pack Disclosure

This property is being marketed with a Secure Sale Pack, designed to help speed up the transaction and provide greater certainty for both buyers and sellers.

As part of this process, key legal searches are ordered at the point the property is listed, rather than after a sale is agreed. This work, which can typically take several weeks in a standard transaction, is prepared upfront and made available to the successful buyer as part of their legal due diligence.

To proceed with an offer, the successful buyer will be required to purchase the Buyer Information Pack at a cost of £325 + VAT. This pack includes the searches and supporting legal information that a buyer would usually need to obtain separately after agreeing a purchase.

In addition, and in line with UK Anti-Money Laundering regulations, all purchasers and any giftors contributing funds must complete AML (Anti-Money Laundering) checks. These checks are payable separately and are required before the transaction can progress.

This upfront approach helps:

Reduce delays once an offer is agreed

Improve transparency for all parties

Support a smoother and more reliable sales process

Disclaimer Statement:

All descriptions, floorplans, photographs and other information are provided as a guide only and may not be exact.

In line with UK Anti-Money Laundering regulations, all named purchasers and any giftors contributing funds must complete AML (Anti-Money Laundering) checks.

The cost of AML checks is £20 + VAT per person (£24 including VAT) and is payable separately. All required AML checks must be completed before the transaction can progress.

We have taken all reasonable steps to ensure the accuracy of this information. Material information is provided in line with current National Trading Standards guidance and relevant consumer protection legislation.
