West End, Witney OX28

Set along one of Witney’s most historic and picturesque streets, this Grade II listed four-bedroom period home offers an exceptional blend of charm, character, and generous living space. Believed to date back to circa 1690, with the rear section of the property added around fifty years later, it retains many original features while offering practical modern living.

Stepping inside, you’re welcomed by a spacious hallway with exposed floorboards, leading to a beautifully presented interior that exudes warmth and character throughout. The living room is a particularly inviting space, featuring stone flooring, a log burner installed in 2019, exposed beams, and a large window flooding the room with natural light. A second reception room/study to the front provides a versatile area ideal for home working or a separate sitting room.

Completing the ground floor is a cloakroom with Saniflo system and additional storage.

Upstairs, the main bedroom is a wonderful size, with original beams and access to an en suite bathroom with bath and tiled surrounds. There are two further generous double bedrooms, both with exposed floorboards, beams, and decorative features that celebrate the home’s heritage. A nicely presented bathroom features a classic freestanding bath (recently refurbished) and separate shower.

The top floor hosts a substantial attic room, currently used as a fourth bedroom, showcasing impressive a-frame beamsand access to a large walk-in attic space with lighting — a superb storage area or potential for creative use.

Externally, the property enjoys a south-westerly facing garden extending to around 50 feet, with mature planting, lawn, and a private seating area. Rear access is available via a neighbouring garden, with an easement in place. Resident parking permits are available.

Further benefits include a cellar, secondary glazing to the upper floors, a gas boiler replaced in 2017, and well-maintained exterior pointing carried out approximately ten years ago.

This is a rare opportunity to purchase a landmark period home in the heart of Witney’s conservation area, perfectly positioned for the town’s shops, cafes, and transport links while offering peaceful, characterful living.

About The Oxfordshire Property Agent

At The Oxfordshire Property Agent we like to think we do things a little differently to a traditional estate agent.

Here are some of ways we feel we differentiate from the usual ‘high street’ and online offerings;

- We are transparent with our pricing - it is published for everyone to see and is almost half that of the national average, fixed at only 0.75% + vat

- Each agent only works with 5 sellers a month, focusing on a personal and professional service and adhering to the highest possible standards. A small client base allows us to afford more time to you and your sale.

- We don’t tie you into a long contract. As part of our drive to increase trust and transparency, we only work on a 1 month rolling basis - no catch.

- We aim to learn as much as possible about you and your property with our pre-listing walk through. This time used to discuss the ongoing sale strategy, and also to offer advice on how to best dress your home for photos - allowing our professional photographer to take the best possible images.

- We use the same concept for viewings, and when it comes to showcasing your home, unlike most agents we book an hour long viewing to allow time for the buyer to fully appreciate all the unique features on offer. This ultimately increases the chances of an offer and in turn helps us achieve the best possible sale value for you.

If you are interested in one of our properties for sale, or have a property to sell, why don’t you give us a call today and see if we can help!
