4 bed detached house for sale

Norman Avenue, Abingdon, Oxfordshire OX14

Description
Built in 1908 and enlarged over the years, the house is centrally located within its grounds which extend to approximately 0.66 acres. It is located at the end of a private Lane from one of North Abingdon's most well regarded and popular tree lined roads. The house and garage together offer an internal area of 2,765 sq. Ft. (257 m2).
The accommodation has been configured so that all the rooms look out over the gardens. The ground floor accommodation includes a family room, sitting room, spacious kitchen with dining area and expansive utility room. The first floor has four good sized bedrooms, two of which have ensuites and a family bathroom, all of which have been stylishly updated in recent times.
Planning permission was passed in 2019 (now lapsed) for a striking, contemporary extension ( reference P19/V2063/hh) to expand the existing footprint by replacing the existing single story sitting room with a two story extension, in which to reconfigure the current floorplan and create a stylish, contemporary home blending traditional architecture with stylish modernity. Carter Jonas can provide advice on resubmission of these plans.
