FOR SALE BY AUCTION: A terraced house with large garden and considerable potential in a quiet location, on the edge of this popular market town. GUIDE PRICE: £160,000-£170,000.
Overall Description
AUCTION GUIDE PRICE: £160,000-£170,000. This terraced house sits in an elevated position in a quiet residential location towards the southern edge of the picturesque market town of Wantage. The property has two bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs with a front porch, entrance hall, sitting/dining room, kitchen and rear porch downstairs. The property has gas-fired central heating run from the back-boiler in the sitting room and is in need of internal modernisation, but offers buyers the chance to create a modern family home to their own needs and tastes. There may even be scope to extend the property to the rear and to create a third bedroom by changing the layout upstairs, as others have in the area (subject to the usual consents). There is off-street parking in front of the house and a large garden with brick shed to the rear, accessed via a tunnel shared with the neighbouring house. The property is being sold by auction with our auction partners, BTG Eddisons (see details below) and with no onward chain. Please call to book a viewing at the Open Day from 10am to 11am on Saturday the 18th of July.

Location
Wantage is a historic Oxfordshire market town, famous as the birthplace of King Alfred the Great, which combines rural charm with a good range of modern amenities. The town centre offers a traditional market town experience, with local independent boutiques and cafes mixed with High Street shops and supermarkets. There are good schools in the area including Stockham Primary School, Wantage Primary Academy, and King Alfred's Academy. While Wantage does not have its own train station, it is served by regular bus services to Oxford, Didcot, and Abingdon and is well-connected by road via the A34 and M4, and therefore has easy access to the nearby Didcot Parkway station. Situated in the Vale of White Horse, the town offers immediate access to the Ridgeway National Trail, and has plenty of options for walking and cycling in the surrounding Oxfordshire countryside.
