Description

Building Plot with Planning Permission in the Heart of Horspath

A rare opportunity to acquire an elevated building plot with full planning permission already granted, positioned in one of Oxfordshire's most desirable villages. Set back from the road on Gidley Way, Horspath, the site offers an exciting opportunity to create a striking contemporary home in a peaceful setting, backing directly onto the local conservation area.

Planning Reference: P23/S4227/FUL

Planning permission has been approved for a uniquely designed four-bedroom detached residence extending to approximately 2,576 sq ft (240 sq m). The proposed home has been thoughtfully designed to maximise both the plot and the surrounding countryside setting, offering spacious and versatile accommodation arranged over two floors.

The ground floor is designed with modern family living in mind and comprises a welcoming entrance hall, a large open-plan kitchen and dining room with direct access onto a generous balcony and entertaining terrace, a separate living room enjoying an elevated outlook, a utility room and study. The fourth bedroom is also situated on this floor and benefits from its own en-suite shower room, making it ideal for guests, multi-generational living, or use as a second reception room if preferred.

The first floor provides the principal sleeping accommodation, comprising an impressive principal suite with dressing room and en-suite bathroom, two further double bedrooms, one of which enjoys its own en-suite shower room, alongside a family bathroom and additional storage.

The elevated position and open aspect create the potential for a truly special home that enjoys both privacy and far-reaching views, whilst backing directly onto the surrounding conservation area.

Horspath is an ancient and highly regarded village nestled on the slopes of Shotover Country Park and surrounded by protected green belt countryside. Despite its peaceful rural atmosphere, the village lies just one mile from the Oxford city boundary, making it an exceptionally convenient location for both families and professionals.

The village offers a range of amenities including a convenience store, two popular public houses, the renowned Oxford Brewery and Taproom, Sunnyhill Vineyard, and a highly regarded primary school. There are also thriving cricket and football clubs, Oxford City Athletics Club, and Oxford Harlequins RFC, all contributing to the village's strong community feel.

Regular No.46 bus services provide convenient links into Oxford city centre, while nearby Wheatley and the M40 offer further connectivity to London and the Midlands.

This is a fantastic opportunity to secure a ready-to-build plot in one of South Oxfordshire's most sought-after village locations.
