Summary - Wheelstay, 180 Cumnor Road, Boars Hill OX1 5JS
5 bed 2 bath Detached
1930s five-bed detached on huge plot near Oxford — extension or development potential.
Almost half-acre double plot with expansive rear field views
Set on almost half an acre in sought-after Boars Hill (OX1), this 1930s detached house sits on a double plot with long rear views over open fields. The existing house offers flexible five-bedroom accommodation over two floors, large reception rooms and a conservatory — ideal for family life with plenty of indoor/outdoor space. Ample off-street parking is provided by an in-and-out drive and central driveway, plus several outbuildings that add workshop or storage potential.
The most significant value is the land: the neighbouring plot configuration opens two distinct possibilities — a substantial single-house extension to the existing property, or potential for a separate building plot subject to planning permission. The house is offered chain-free, making a quicker transaction possible for buyers wanting to act on the plot potential.
Buyers should note material points plainly: planning for a separate building plot has not been granted and would require the usual permissions; the sale is subject to an uplift covenant; and the property will benefit from updating and modernisation to bring services and interiors to contemporary standards. Council tax is above average. These factors mean the home will suit purchasers who value location and land potential and who are prepared to manage planning, covenant and upgrade works.
In short, this is a rare land-rich opportunity minutes from Oxford — attractive to families seeking long gardens and countryside views, or to buyers and investors interested in extension or development possibilities, subject to the necessary consents.
