Scrubbs Ln - The Wood Store 4.7 Acres of Commercial Land in Shilton OX18 4AP
INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS
- Rare opportunity to purchase 4.7 acres of prime commercial development land
- Situated within the Oxford-Cambridge Growth Corridor
- Planning permission granted
- Freehold
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Freehold. We understand Lot 1 will be sold with vacant possession, however in order to close the business who occupy Lot 2, a short lease agreement will likely be sought.
Planning: Lot 1 has recently been granted planning permission on two occasions, firstly in April 2025 (reference: 25/00273/FUL) for the erection of two storage buildings and a portacabin, and secondly for the erection of an office building in November 2025 (reference: 25/01574/FUL). We understand the site sits outside of the Cotswolds AONB.
The site's recent planning history together with its position within the Oxford-Cambridge Growth Corridor and its close proximity to existing infrastructure, such as the recently completed Kencot Solar Farm, provides a rare opportunity to those seeking development land with a view to establishing a premises for a data centre, subject to the necessary consents.
There is a potential for a sovereign data centre to be built there.

Lot 1 totals 1.455 acres, including ownership of the access track to both Lots 1 and 2.

The land is situated approximately 1 mile from the desirable village of Shilton, which lies between the towns of Burford (3 miles) and Carterton (3 miles) in West Oxfordshire.

The land is well positioned to the A40, providing direct access to both Oxford (20 miles) and Cheltenham (25 miles) and leading to both London (approx. 75 miles) and Bristol (approx. 60 miles). Most notably, the site sits within the increasingly desirable Oxford-Cambridge Growth Corridor. The nearest rail stations are Charlbury and Kingham both within 12 miles.
