Manana is a detached bungalow, set in a desirable position in the picturesque South Oxfordshire village of Great Haseley. The property has been granted planning permission for demolition, to be replaced by a larger three-storey property.

The current house has a 26ft sitting room with sliding glass doors opening onto the southwest-facing garden, while the adjoining kitchen and breakfast room is also oriented to overlook the garden and offers plenty of storage and space for the necessary appliances. The four ground-floor bedrooms are all doubles, and any could be used as additional reception rooms if required.

The proposed new layout for the property includes a light, airy and spacious sitting room and kitchen across the back of the house, making the most of the sunny aspect and extensive gardens beyond. There is also a play room and a study with an adjoining shower room, which could be used as a guest bedroom. Additionally on the ground floor, the plans outline a boot room and a utility room, with a side entrance, for storage.

The plans offer three spacious first-floor bedrooms, including an en suite principal bedroom. The first floor also has a family bathroom. In addition, the plans include a basement with a games room. The proposals offer the opportunity to make the most of the current footprint of the property and create a light, modern and flexible family home.
