A rare development plot in Cumnor Village offering significant potential for a small-multiple family scheme, subject to planning permission. The existing two-bedroom detached house is unmodernised and sits on a large plot that could accommodate two or three new family homes, or be renovated to retain a single spacious dwelling. The property dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s, has double glazing and gas central heating but requires comprehensive updating and likely insulation work.
This location is an attractive draw: affluent, very low crime, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, with easy access to Oxford (about 3 miles) and major roads (A420/A34). Good local primary schools and several well-regarded independent schools are nearby, making the site appealing to families and investors seeking a redevelopment near strong school catchments.
Important negatives are clear and factual: the house needs renovation throughout, walls are cavity with assumed no insulation, council tax is above average, and any demolition or subdivision is subject to planning permission. Buyers considering purchase for conversion or rebuild should allow for planning risk, build costs and the need for site surveys before committing.
For a developer or investor, the combination of plot size, location in an affluent village and proximity to Oxford transport links creates a practical opportunity. For a family seeking a renovation project, the existing layout offers two reception rooms, two bathrooms and a large private garden but will require substantial modernisation to meet contemporary standards.
