Property description
A fine Grade II listed period property in the heart of the conservation area of Old Didcot, an unspoilt and highly convenient location less than 1/2 mile from Didcot Parkway (Paddington 45 minutes).
Manor Cottage has origins dating back from the 16th century and was originally 2 cottages. The house has evolved over the years and was sympathetically refurbished exposing the original features including the inglenook fireplace and numerous exposed timbers around 50 years ago. The practical and well proportioned accommodation includes 2 generous reception rooms and a large kitchen breakfast room on the ground floor with 3 double bedrooms upstairs, whilst a large vaulted loft with original window might offer scope for further bedroom accommodation subject to the necessary listed building and planning consent.
Manor Cottage enjoys a mature south-facing garden but prospective purchasers should note that the area of garden ground - including the garage -to the east of Manor Cottage has planning consent for a single detached house and this area of the garden is being sold separately as a Building Plot. When built, the new house and Manor Cottage will share joint access and Courtyard parking. The Developer of the plot will be responsible for carrying out all works to the access, driveway, parking areas, retaining walls, hedging, landscaping and generally making good in accordance with the approved plans.
Such work will be carried out to an approved timetable.
Interested parties can view the planning approval on the South Oxfordshire District Council Planning portal.
