High Street, Hinton Waldrist, Faringdon, Oxfordshire, SN7

The Lodge in Hinton Waldrist is the former gate house to the manor. This wonderful and unique property is set centrally in a great size plot with views to the rear over Hinton Manor Park and Gardens. Although this single storey dwelling is in need of refurbishment throughout, it offers a huge amount of scope for the next custodian to transform into something truly special (subject to necessary permissions). The single-storey accommodation currently comprises an entrance porch leading through to an inner hall with storage cupboard and family bathroom. The kitchen/diner is a good size with a coal-fired stove. Both bedrooms are double and one offers high ceilings, with the other having fitted wardrobes and a dual aspect outlook. Completing the internal accommodation is a sitting room with a working fireplace and further access out to the gardens. This chocolate box stone cottage is surrounded by garden, which is laid predominantly to lawn with mature hedging, fruit trees, a vegetable patch, and several sheds. ** Important Note** Historic England have advised the lodge is located in a Registered Park & Garden (RP&G) and there will be planning restrictions in place for buildings that are located in RP&Gs. Whilst The Lodge building does not appear to be listed in its own right, it may still be treated as listed as it is considered to be within the curtilage of a nearby listed building (Hinton Manor). In general, any structure that formed part of the land and was in the curtilage of the principal listed building and is ancillary to the principal building, is considered to be part of the listing. 'As the lodge has always been ancillary to the listed house, is within its grounds, and is clearly mentioned within the Historic England list description it would suggest that it would be considered curtilage listed. The vendor is currently working with an architect exploring planning permission for a rear extension.
