Buckland, Faringdon, Oxfordshire, SN7

Nestled in the picturesque village of Buckland, this detached, Grade II listed, thatched cottage will offer its new owners the chance to restore and extend, creating a wonderful opportunity for a family home in a desirable village.

The property currently comprises an entrance hallway providing access to the dual-aspect living room, kitchen, bathroom, and two bedrooms.

Plans have been drawn up and approved for the cottage to be restored back to two floors, with an extension to the rear.

Groundworks have been undertaken to the rear of the property and the base has been laid for the future extension. Once transformed, the cottage will provide a lovely sitting room keeping the inglenook fireplace that is already a feature of the property. There will be a wonderful open-plan kitchen/diner providing views of the rear garden, with bi-fold doors providing access to a patio area. There will be three double bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a separate shower room.

Externally there is driveway parking to the side of the property, which leads to a good-sized garage. To the rear of the garage is a studio which can be used for additional accommodation as it benefits from an en suite shower room, all on separate utilities, allowing for the renovation work to be carried out.

There is a lovely private garden at the rear of the property that is mainly laid to lawn with a variety of mature shrubs. There are hard standings in place for perhaps a summer house and bike store if required. This is an absolute gem of a property and will provide a new owner the rare opportunity to be able to develop this wonderful listed building.
