An amazing opportunity to purchase a rare character house in the heart of Wolvercote. This home would suit someone looking to shape their vision and create a lovely home in a village location, while retaining all the convenience of City access, and being within the catchment for Wolvercote Primary and The Cherwell Secondary School. The property is beside Port Meadow, a protected conservation area.
The property is one title and is currently utilised as two apartments. There are several outbuildings, a good-sized front driveway and an enclosed south-facing rear garden. In need of updating and possibly an extension or reconfiguration (STPP), the house offers a great opportunity to create an incredible family home in this enviable location.
With a one-house configuration, there is a bright, spacious kitchen and dining area, with a further two reception rooms, and a conservatory that adds a further versatile living space. The first floor would comprise three double bedrooms and a family bathroom.
Outside, there is a mature lawn garden, a storage shed and an additional storage area, currently being used as a studio. The property benefits from driveway parking for multiple vehicles.
