Description

An exclusive new development opportunity of five
premium homes in the countryside near Banbury.

Thoughtfully designed for modern lifestyles, the proposal mixes contemporary luxury with the charm of Oxfordshire living.

Description
An outstanding residential development opportunity with the benefit of full planning consent for an exclusive scheme of 5no. high-quality homes in a sought-after rural location.

Occupying approximately 1.05 acres, the site enjoys a prominent position just off the A423 Southam Road, offering excellent connectivity while benefiting from a fantastic rural edge woodland setting.

The site currently comprises an attractive single-storey Coach House to the frontage together with a substantial former two-storey factory building located centrally within the plot, which is approved to be demolished, presenting an extremely attractive redevelopment opportunity.

Further Planning Opportunities
Detailed planning permission has been granted under reference 24/00843/F for the creation of an exclusive residential development currently comprising five dwellings, including the conversion and change of use of the existing Coach House into a private residence.

The site has been sympathetically designed to take advantage of the superb woodland edge setting, incorporating the current mature trees into the garden designs, unheard of in modern development schemes.

The approved scheme also incorporates enhanced vehicular access and associated infrastructure improvements, including a pedestrian refuge and minor road improvements for safe connection to the existing footway all serving to create a well considered development with stong appeal to the premium housing market.

Existing floor space conversion:
Designed into the project are elements of second floor accommodation, mainly utilising the approved loft space. This could add around 140 sq m extra to the scheme. In addition, the Coach House could be sympathetically extended vertically, providing another 100 sq m depending on design and subject to planning permission.

Additional Plot
To the south of plot 5 there is the opportunity to enhance the scheme with a sixth executive home incorporating a partial woodland garden, potentially adding in excess of 150 sq m additional floor space to the proposition, subject to planning permission.

Guide Price
The site is available to purchase for offers in the region of £1.5 million.

Tenure
Freehold.
