Stockwell House, Common Lane, Henley-on-Thames, RG9 4JZ

A character detached property, in need of modernisation and updating, situated in a sought after and popular location.

Description A detached three bedroom character property set in a delightful rural position, enjoying far reaching views over open countryside.

Set within a generous and established plot of approximately 0.47 of an acre in the heart of Binfield Heath, the property presents an exceptional opportunity for renovation, extension or comprehensive redevelopment, subject to the relevant planning permissions.

The house, whilst currently occupied, now requires significant modernisation and offers considerable scope for enhancement or reconfiguration.

Given the size and favourable positioning of the plot, there is clear potential for a more ambitious scheme, including the possibility of multiple dwellings, subject to obtaining the necessary consents.

Opportunities of this nature are increasingly rare within the village and the property is likely to appeal to both private buyers seeking to create a bespoke home, as well as developers looking to maximise the potential of the site.

The accommodation currently comprises an entrance hall, kitchen/breakfast room, sitting room, dining room and a utility/cloakroom.

On the first floor there is a principal bedroom, a further double bedroom, a single bedroom and a family bathroom. In total, approximately 1,127 sq ft.

Outside, the property sits within a large, mature garden of approximately 0.47 acres, predominantly laid to lawn with an array of established trees and borders.

There is also a substantial double garage and off-road parking.

Location Situated in the sought-after village of Binfield Heath, a charming rural setting in South Oxfordshire, the property enjoys a peaceful position surrounded by attractive countryside within the Chiltern Hills.

The village itself offers a selection of local amenities including the well regarded Bottle & Glass Inn, a characterful country pub and restaurant and village shop with post office (currently closed for refurbishment).

More extensive shopping, leisure and cultural facilities can be found in nearby Henley-on-Thames and Reading, both easily accessible.
