2 bed bungalow for sale

High Street, Hinton Waldrist, Faringdon, Oxfordshire SN7

The Lodge in Hinton Waldrist is the former gate house to the manor.
This wonderful Grade II, curtilage listed, detached lodge, is a unique property, which is set in a great size plot with views to the rear over Hinton Manor Park and Gardens.

The current owners have sought pre-planning advice for a proposed extension and internal works, and the erection of a detached garage, with new access set within the historic grounds of Hinton Manor.

A joint application for Listed building consent and Householder planning permission would be required for the proposed extension, with listed building consent only required for internal works. Householder planning permission would be required for the proposed detached garage and new access.

Although this dwelling is in need of refurbishment throughout, it offers a huge amount of scope for the next custodian to transform into something truly special (subject to necessary permissions).

Hinton Waldrist is a pretty village, set back from the main road and within a couple of miles’ walk of the River Thames. The village has a parish church, St Margaret’s, a local farmer sells fresh vegetables and others in the village sell fresh eggs if they have spare. The Post Office in Southmoor (c. 2 miles) is very good and there is a hairdresser, newsagent and grocery shop. A wider selection of shops can be found in Faringdon (c. 8 miles), Witney (c. 10 miles), Abingdon (c. 10 miles) and Oxford (c. 10 miles).

In neighbouring Longworth is the renowned Blue Boar public house. There is also The Waggon and Horses public house in Southmoor. There is a wealth of popular footpaths in the surrounding countryside, offering plenty of dog-walking.

Access to London can be gained from the M40 at Oxford or M4 north of Newbury, with mainline trains running from Oxford and Didcot Parkway to London. There is also a frequent bus service along the A420 linking Oxford, Faringdon and Swindon.
