Wharf Cottages, Southam Road

Banbury, OX16

Tenure: Freehold

Cottage with two double bedrooms + loft room located next to the canal in Banbury on Southam Road.

The ground floor has a lovely sitting room with log burning stove and separate kitchen with outside space to both the front and rear of the property and parking.

The 1st floor has two double bedrooms and a superb modern bathroom.

There is a further loft room suitable for guest room or office.

The owners also considered building a studio/office space in the garden, and the 12 x 8 ft shed at the bottom of the garden is a place holder for this space.

Half of the land in the parking area (in line with the garden), also belongs to the proeprty, so a slightly larger space extending outwards would also be possible, under permitted development.

The property utilises a septic tank instead of mains sewerage, due to the small number of properties in the road. This is different from a cesspit in that it has a drainage field for water run off and as such needs to be emptied less frequently. 

It needs to be emptied around 3 times per year and the responsibility for this is equally divided between the three properties, as per the Title Deeds. However, you do not need to pay sewerage costs to the water board, making it cheaper overall across the year, than a mains system
