High Street, Shrivenham, Swindon, Oxfordshire, SN6

An exciting opportunity to acquire a former public house with planning permission for the creation of a single dwelling in the heart of this picturesque village

THE PROPERTY:

Formerly The Crown Public House, this fine period home was originally two cottages with that brim with period character and later extensions that provide a pleasing sense of space and sizable former commercial kitchen that, once refitted as a domestic breakfast kitchen would make this a most comfortable home.

To front of the property is a generous beamed dining room that retains the original bar. Opposite are two further receptions area to either side of a distinctive see-through fireplace connected by a striking quarry tile floor.
To the rear is a generous double aspect living room with French windows that open into the sunny garden. This has a southerly aspect with traditional five bar gates to one side and a substantial part enclosed verandah to the other that provides a weatherproof outdoor entertaining area. The garden is paved with a pleasing mix of natural stone and old brick paviour and is remarkably private given the property’s central location.

At the top of the stairs is a study that leads into one of the four double bedrooms. Opposite is the main suite with a range of fitted wardrobes and a stylish ensuite with walk in shower. To the opposite side of the building are another two double bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom.

For those seeking even more space, there is planning for a first floor extension above the kitchen contained in the permission to convert this building to a home.

Full details available at.

There is also previous planning to create a pair of bedroom houses (one 3 bed, the other 2 bed): (P22/V2851/FUL)

We are required by law to conduct anti-money laundering checks on all those selling or buying a property. Whilst we retain responsibility for ensuring checks and any ongoing monitoring are carried out correctly, the initial checks are carried out on our behalf by Lifetime Legal who will contact you once you have agreed to instruct us in your sale or had an offer accepted on a property you wish to buy. The cost of these checks is £60 (incl. VAT), which covers the cost of obtaining relevant data and any manual checks and monitoring which might be required. This fee will need to be paid by you in advance of us publishing your property (in the case of a vendor) or issuing a memorandum of sale (in the case of a buyer), directly to Lifetime Legal, and is non-refundable. We will receive some of the fee taken by Lifetime Legal to compensate for its role in the provision of these checks.
