5 bedroom detached house for sale

A rare development opportunity set within approximately 0.46 of an acre, enjoying outstanding countryside views and positioned on the edge of a small and unspoilt Cotswold hamlet between Leafield and Shipton-under-Wychwood.

The plot currently hosts an unmodernised detached bungalow, offering excellent potential for renovation to create a substantial family home. In addition, planning permission has been granted for an impressive 4,600 sq ft five-bedroom detached residence, complete with a double garage and a studio above. This provides significant flexibility for a purchaser to either proceed with the approved scheme or explore alternative designs, subject to the necessary consents.

The approved plans are designed to suit the plot’s proportions and elevated position, maximising light, space and far-reaching rural outlooks. The generous grounds offer scope for landscaped gardens, outdoor entertaining and a strong sense of privacy, all framed by open countryside.

The location combines rural tranquillity with accessibility. The property sits on the edge of a small hamlet, ideally positioned between Leafield and Shipton-under-Wychwood, both of which provide local amenities, while nearby market towns and transport links ensure wider connectivity.

Opportunities of this nature, with planning permission, a large plot and exceptional views, are increasingly rare, making this an outstanding prospect for developers, self-builders or owner-occupiers seeking to create a bespoke home in a peaceful countryside setting.
