A rare opportunity to purchase a village building plot tucked away in a delightful setting adjacent to South Moreton Conservation Area behind traditional thatched cottages and other period homes.
Planning Consent P18/S0048/FUL was awarded by South Oxfordshire District Council on 17th August 2018 and has since been implemented. The imaginative contemporary barn style home as designed by D P Architects of Watlington will be set in a south facing garden with a long driveway leading to South Moreton High Street. This exciting opportunity offers all the scope for building a modern family home including a feature gallery overlooking the open plan dining area, kitchen and sitting room.

* Ground floor double bedroom with en-suite which could also be used as a home office
* Two Double bedrooms upstairs

The proposed floor area extends to approximately 1600sqft (148.7sqm) but would increase to approximately to 1800Sqft if a further room was created to the void. The new house will be approached by a long driveway from South Moreton High Street which opens up to the plot at the northern end of the site. The site measures approximately 21.5m x 19.2m. The driveway measures 28m x 5m. Overall the site extends to 0.14 acre
South Moreton is a pretty village between Wallingford and Didcot.

There is a thriving primary school, large recreation ground and community owned Pub, The Crown, all within 3-4 minutes walk, St Johns Parish Church and South Moreton gym are also very close while the village issurrounded by beautiful open countryside offering numerous rural walks and many lovely views over the Chiltern Hills and Berkshire Downs.
Didcot is just 4 miles away and offers a range of shopping and leisure facilities together with main line train service from Didcot Parkway to London Paddington in 40 minutes. Equally close is the historic market town of Wallingford with its many attractions including independent shops and restaurants, as well as being on a beautiful stretch of the River Thames. The area also benefits from relatively easy access to Oxford and Reading (via both road and rail). There are many good State and Independent Schools within easy reach.
