Description
A truly exceptional opportunity to acquire a detached bungalow set within approximately 6.3 acres (2.5 hectares) of land in one of Oxfordshire's most sought-after countryside locations. Surrounded by open fields with panoramic views, Twelve Acre Farm offers enormous potential for those looking to create a remarkable country home, subject to the necessary planning permissions. Approached via Sandy Lane, a recognised bridleway on the edge of beautiful Shotover Country Park, the setting is both peaceful and remarkably convenient for Oxford.
The existing accommodation extends to approximately 1,762 sq ft (164 sq m) and offers three bedrooms, generous reception rooms and a practical layout, while an adjoining 101 sq m barn/workshop provides extensive storage or workspace. Although the property would now benefit from modernisation, it presents an ideal starting point for redevelopment, extension or replacement (subject to planning).
Properties offering this scale of land, privacy and future potential are exceptionally rare. Whether your ambition is an equestrian lifestyle, a smallholding or the opportunity to design and build your dream home in a spectacular rural setting, Twelve Acre Farm represents a unique chance to secure an outstanding lifestyle property. Offered to the market with no onward chain.
