2 bed end terrace house for sale

High Street, Witney, Oxfordshire OX28

A unique, well extended and stylishly updated period cottage in a tranquil, traffic-free location in the heart of the town's Conservation Area. Offered with immediate vacant possession.

The property:

This appealing Cotswold stone cottage has been thoughtfully extended to create a home that feels both grounded in history and entirely suited to modern living. The result is a ground floor that generously exceeds the footprint above and includes a cloakroom - a rarity in properties of this era - offering a layout that is as practical as it is pleasing.
At its centre, the extended reception room makes an immediate impression. A striking vaulted ceiling incorporates above twin rooflights, drawing natural light deep into the space throughout the day, while the wooden floor exudes natural warmth. The kitchen is large enough to eat in.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom is rich with the hallmarks of genuine age: Angled ceilings, exposed timbers, and an atmosphere that no new-build can replicate. The second room is a versatile space - compact, but well-proportioned enough to serve as a study, dressing room or nursery depending on the occupant's needs. A modern shower room and useful landing storage complete the upper floor.

Outside, a private terrace, enclosed by stone walling and close-board fencing, is a sheltered spot with a sense of seclusion unusual for a central location. A second area provides further outdoor space alongside weather-proof storage shed.
Access is via a shared pedestrian ginnel from the High Street - a route that quietly separates the cottage from the bustle beyond, lending it a tucked-away quality without any sense of isolation. Frequent bus services to Oxford run from a nearby stop, making the property well-suited to those who don't keep a car. The present owners use the public car park adjacent to the Waitrose development.

Situation:

Witney was recently described in the national press as a "beautiful 'must-visit' Cotswolds market town". It is positioned about 10 miles to the West of the dreaming spires of Oxford on the banks of the River Windrush. Much of the town's fine architecture reflects the wealth of the woollen trade in its heyday. The rich variety of shops, good schools, street cafes, and excellent sporting facilities coupled with higher order services that include a hospital greatly add to the quality of life. A mainline rail service to Oxford and London Paddington is available from Long Hanborough under 6 miles away with journey times of 9 and 70 minutes respectively.

We are required by law to conduct anti-money laundering checks on all those selling or buying a property. Whilst we retain responsibility for ensuring checks and any ongoing monitoring are carried out correctly, the initial checks are carried out on our behalf by Lifetime Legal who will contact you once you have agreed to instruct us in your sale or had an offer accepted on a property you wish to buy. The cost of these checks is £75 (incl. VAT), which covers the cost of obtaining relevant data and any manual checks and monitoring which might be required. This fee will need to be paid by you in advance of us publishing your property (in the case of a vendor) or issuing a memorandum of sale (in the case of a buyer), directly to Lifetime Legal, and is non-refundable. We will receive some of the fee taken by Lifetime Legal to compensate for its role in the provision of these checks.
