A rare opportunity to restore and reimagine a characterful period property, occupying a fascinating position within one of the oldest and most historic parts of Bicester. Grade II listed, the property retains an abundance of original character, including exposed timbers, timber panelling, window seats, traditional doors and attractive stone elevations.

Arranged over three floors and extending to approximately 974 sq. ft., the accommodation currently comprises a generous sitting/dining room, a separate room intended as a kitchen and a useful store on the ground floor. The first floor provides a bedroom and bathroom, with two further bedrooms situated on the second floor.

The property requires comprehensive renovation and is not presently suitable for occupation. However, for a purchaser with the vision and experience to undertake the necessary works—together with securing any required listed building and planning consents—it offers tremendous potential to become a fabulous and highly individual period home in the heart of Bicester.

The property has no private parking, although its central setting places the town’s shops, cafés and amenities within easy reach. Bicester Village is also conveniently accessible, while both Bicester North and Bicester Village railway stations provide direct services to London, Oxford and Birmingham.

Cash buyers are welcomed and may be best suited to the purchase due to the property’s current condition and the absence of essential services.
