4 bed detached house for sale

Common Road, North Leigh, Witney, Oxfordshire OX29

A sizable individual Cotswold stone house set in just over 0.25 acre and well placed both for a mainline service to Paddington & Oxford as well as Estelle Manor.

The property:

This individual Cotswold stone residence exudes a pleasing sense of quality and permanence.

The central hall sets the tone from the moment of arrival, its striking hardwood staircase drawing the eye upward and distributing movement naturally to a double-aspect drawing room with fireplace with cut stone surround, a separate dining room, and a well-proportioned study. The breakfast kitchen and adjoining conservatory offer more relaxed spaces, whilst the utility room ensures the practical demands of daily life remain discreetly managed.

Upstairs, the principal suite provides genuine comfort, with its dressing area and dedicated bathroom, complemented by three further double bedrooms - one with an ensuite shower room.

The plot of just over 0.25 acre affords privacy and considerable potential to extend or convert the double garage and the vast room above into an annexe, subject to consents.

Nestled amidst the picturesque Oxfordshire countryside, the charming village of North Leigh, affectionately known as "Nor Lye" by locals, offers a delightful blend of history, community spirit, and modern convenience. Located just three miles from the bustling market town of Witney, North Leigh is a quintessential English village with roots tracing back to the post-medieval period. It boasts a vibrant community life centred around its amenities, including two welcoming pubs-one of which is renowned for its authentic Mexican cuisine-along with a quaint village shop, post office, and library. The village has an excellent primary school and local cricket and football teams make it an ideal location for families seeking a supportive and engaging environment. Nearby Estelle Manor, formerly Eynsham Hall, offers luxurious leisure experiences.

The village's strategic location provides excellent travel links, with regular bus services to Oxford and Witney, and exceptional train connections from Long Hanborough and Oxford Parkway stations. Commuters will find it particularly appealing, with direct trains from Hanborough whisking passengers to London Paddington in approximately 69 minutes and the dreaming spires of Oxford in just 10 minutes.

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.
