Property description
A fine Grade II listed period house set in the heart of the Old Didcot Conservation Area with detailed planning consent for a detached cottage-style house circa 1684 Sq Ft to the side.
Manor Cottage has origins dating back to the 16th Century and has been in the same family ownership for the last 50 years. Previously 2 cottages, the house now offers character accommodation with 3 double bedrooms, 2 generous reception rooms and a kitchen/breakfast room. There is considerable scope for further development of the property not least the potential to convert part of the attic to provide further bedroom accommodation.
Old Didcot is the original ‘village’ of Didcot consisting of a number of attractive period buildings including All Saints Church, and forming the Old Didcot Conservation Area. Didcot is a thriving and growing South Oxfordshire town with a mainline station (Didcot Parkway) connecting to London Paddington in around 45 minutes. The town centre has been redeveloped and further expansion of these facilities is planned. Didcot continues to expand residentially and enjoys excellent road links via the A34 North towards Abingdon, Oxford and the M40 and South to Newbury and the M4.
South Oxfordshire District Council have granted recent planning consent. P14/S4062/FUL – New detached house consent was granted 17th February 2015. “Demolition of a single garage. Erection of a detached dwelling and new access.”
The proposed dwelling is a two storey house in a distinctive character style with 3 double bedrooms and a first floor study, bathroom and ensuite, a large family kitchen diner and sitting space and a separate living room. There is a separate utility room and cloakroom. We understand from the architects that the property has a gross internal area of circa 1684 SqFt. The house will share a driveway with the existing property.
