Description
High Street - Finstock: A rare opportunity, with appeal to a range of buying criteria.
Situated within a stunning countryside landscape, the original and existing property is a period cottage, renovated to a point with real care and thought.
The work so far has been designed to enhance the character of the original building. A planning application is in place to extend the cottage considerably, which would create a sizeable main residence.
One of the converted outbuildings is already a functioning residence, while the second, a double garage/barn style outbuilding, has planning permission for conversion into further residential accommodation.
The property sits in 4 acres of stunning countryside and has been used as a farm smallholding with livestock. The mature grounds include an apple orchard along with several paddocked areas.
There is plenty of scope to create a luxury rural retreat, whether for personal enjoyment or as an investment. The immediate area has a reliable market for high specification rentals, particularly among those hosting large groups who expect the highest standard of living accommodation. With the amount of residential space available and the surrounding landscape, the property could become a sought after destination for those visiting to enjoy the likes of Estelle Manor, Charlbury. Soho Farmhouse, and various other hotspots.
Further development may be possible, subject to the usual planning consents and the conservation area designation. We would encourage all interested parties to carry out their own due diligence on feasibility.
