3 bed property for sale

Market Place, Woodstock OX20

Sat behind an unassuming stone façade in the heart of Woodstock town centre, 9 Market Place represents a rare opportunity to acquire an unmodernised Grade II listed family home with development potential (subject to consents).

Entry to the main dwelling is gained via the impressive hallway where the voluminous scale of the property is immediately apparent. The main reception room occupies the front of the plan where a large original bay window frames the outlook over Market Place and adorns the interior in natural light. In the current configuration, a second reception room gives way to a well proportioned kitchen with adjoining double height stone-built extension. A vaulted ceiling naturally draws the eye up and offers huge scope to re-design and create a magnificent kitchen/family room with views directly onto the walled rear garden. Furthermore, the plan also offers a cellar, W.C and sun room/utility space which extends to the side of the plan for added convenience.

The first floor is currently home to three generous double bedrooms and the family bathroom. A large attic room with dormer window can be accessed via a door on the landing and lends itself to future conversion (subject to obtaining consents).

Externally the property benefits from a mature walled rear garden with a double garage with workshop above and an additional single garage. Vehicular access is gained via Rectory Lane.

Planning permission - Lapsed planning consent (Ref: 14/02296/ful) to convert the garages into a separate dwelling with a double garage and private garden. Despite being lapsed, written confirmation from West Oxfordshire District Council evidences that groundwork commenced within the permitted timeframe.
