Please refer to architect drawings and plans below.
Unit 1 - circa 1155 sq ft (GIA) with kitchen/dining/living room, study, utility room, WC, two bedrooms, en suite shower room, galleried landing, bathroom. Courtyard garden.
Unit 2 1680 sq ft (GIA) with kitchen/dining/living room, tv room, utility room, three bedrooms, en suite bathroom and shower room. Study area and galleried landing. Garden room. Garage. Courtyard gardens.
Off street parking.
It is important to note that the primary focus for both units is on open plan living with kitchen/dining/living space and bright open galleried landings. Unit 2 has the benefit of a separate Garden Room. Each have courtyard gardens for alfresco entertaining. There is allocated parking for both units and unit 2 has a single garage. Both units are accessed along a shared private driveway.
The properties command a private, tucked away position in the heart of the village with views towards the church. Arguably development opportunities like these are very rare, this possibly being the last remaining development site in the village centre, providing level access to all village centre amenities.
Planning permission was granted on 27th January 2023 application reference 21/03091/F by Cherwell District Council for the demolition of masonry 2 storey barn retaining east gable ironstone wall; demolition of 10 concrete block lock-up garages; erection of 2no mews' cottages with associated off-street parking; erection of salvaged stone wall to north boundary. The site may lend itself to a barn conversion or individual architect designed large single family home, (subject to planning.) Alternatively, there could be potential to convert Ashcroft House into one family home, with private garaging, parking, garden and swimming pool to the rear (subject to planning) would make a wonderful, secluded family home in the heart of the village.'
It's the first redevelopment opportunity in my career in Deddington! Must be special!
