This attractive detached period house sits on a private, part-walled 0.33 acre plot in a quiet village lane in Drayton. The house combines 16th/17th‑century charm with sympathetic recent renovation, offering four reception rooms, a farmhouse kitchen with stone floor and AGA, and a family room with a wood-burning stove. The current total floor area is 2,451 sq ft across a flexible 4/5 bedroom layout.
Planning consent has been granted to add an oak-framed wing, extending the property to c.3,114 sq ft, and there is also planning for a replacement double garage. These consents present clear scope to increase accommodation and add contemporary convenience while preserving the building’s character. The site includes a garage block and generous lawned gardens with mature trees.
Practical details: the house is freehold, newly renovated, not in a flood risk area, and benefits from fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. It sits about 2.7 miles from Abingdon, with rail links at Didcot Parkway (c.5.2 miles) and Oxford c.10.5 miles, and local amenities including a village pub and shop within walking distance.
A note on drawbacks: the property currently shows a single main bathroom relative to five bedrooms, and council tax is described as quite expensive. Buyers planning the extension should factor in project costs despite planning being in place. Overall this is a characterful country family home with significant scope to add space and contemporary living features.
