Common Lane, Binfield Heath, Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, RG9

A character detached property, in need of modernisation and updating, situated in a sought after and popular location.

Description

A detached three bedroom character property set in a delightful rural position, enjoying far reaching views over open countryside.

Set within a generous and established plot of approximately 0.47 of an acre in the heart of Binfield Heath, the property presents an exceptional opportunity for renovation, extension or comprehensive redevelopment, subject to the relevant planning permissions.

The house, whilst currently occupied, now requires significant modernisation and offers considerable scope for enhancement or reconfiguration. Given the size and favourable positioning of the plot, there is clear potential for a more ambitious scheme, including the possibility of multiple dwellings, subject to obtaining the necessary consents.

Opportunities of this nature are increasingly rare within the village and the property is likely to appeal to both private buyers seeking to create a bespoke home, as well as developers looking to maximise the potential of the site.

The accommodation currently comprises an entrance hall, kitchen/breakfast room, sitting room, dining room and a utility/cloakroom. On the first floor there is a principal bedroom, a further double bedroom, a single bedroom and a family bathroom. In total, approximately 1,127 sq ft.

Outside, the property sits within a large, mature garden of approximately 0.47 acres, predominantly laid to lawn with an array of established trees and borders. There is also a substantial double garage and off-road parking.
