Get startedBay Tree Cottage is a three-bedroom detached house in Grove, Wantage, Wantage (OX12 0AN). It has a recorded floor area of 104 m² (around 1119 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 1930-1949.

It hasn't traded since September 2008, a hold of 18 years that's notably long for the area.

At 104 m² it sits well below the postcode median (149 m² across 3 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. 9 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 2 refused.
