Detached house for sale in Letcombe Bassett, Wantage, Oxfordshire OX12

Whites Farm House is a well-presented Grade II listed family home, dating from the late 16th and mid 19th Centuries. The property has been refurbished to the highest of standards with great attention to detail and the preservation of many original features, including a priest hole.

There is currently planning permission to extend the house on the ground floor as well as to create further bedrooms on the second floor as required. Situated on the edge of this popular quiet Oxfordshire village, the property enjoys far-reaching views to The Ridgeway and also has views down to the watercress beds on the Letcombe Brook.

The garden and grounds surround the house to all sides and there is also a late 17th Century Grade II listed oak framed barn which has planning consent to convert into a four bedroom residential unit if required (planning application number: P22/V2716/lb). Alternatively, this barn could be used as a party barn or potentially as an indoor swimming pool, subject to the necessary consents.

To the west of the house are three other barns, one with consent to convert into residential, and an area of grassland that could be purchased by separate negotiation.
