Features and description
- Agricultural Land
- No planning permission
- Outbuilding on a temporary base
A little under 4 acres of open Agricultural land on the west side of this lovely village.
If your ideal is a village that feels completely remote but is actually just ten minutes' drive from most things, Fencott is the one. Sitting on the edge of the Otmoor Nature Reserve, which is classed as an area of SSI with beautiful countryside, there are walks and trails in all directions. The feeling of serenity is complete, with no passing traffic or other disturbances. But within a 4 mile drive is Bicester, and it's only 8 miles to the edge of Oxford. So your ability to access every form of world-class facility is as good as anywhere. To some degree it's the perfect mix of rural peace and suburban convenience, with none of the shortcomings of either!
Classified as agricultural land, it is part ridge and furrow, and part flat pasture, boundaried by a sleepy village lane to the front and mature hedgerow/trees elsewhere with fencing all around. The land has been owned by our vendors for many years and used for silage, storage (there is a loose box/outbuilding of circa 7x4m on a temporary base) and venue for family camping etc, and only now available as they are moving area. It is a serene spot in one of the quietest villages in the area. There is no water or electricity currently connected, although both services are present nearby. Note there is no planning for any change of use or building potential, however our vendors will require the purchaser to agree to an uplift clause or similar in the event that such is granted in the future.
