Buchan House is an elegant town house with Georgian facade, which dates from 1814. The house apparently gets its name from the staircase, which has thirty nine steps. The property has light and spacious accommodation laid out over four floors and has been comprehensively refurbished in recent years to include a modern kitchen and bathrooms, a charming drawing room and an extremely useful and practical set of lower ground floor rooms, all complemented by a low maintenance landscaped garden. The front elevation has been cleaned and is triple glazed and the property retains a number of period features including exposed roof timbers and fireplaces.
Witney is an attractive country town with good modern amenities and a bustling community life. There are fine buildings surrounding the ancient Buttercross and a twice weekly market. There are two major health centres with others on the periphery and an excellent choice of primary and secondary schools, including faith schools. Witney Lakes Resort has a golf course, health club and swimming pool and offers many other sporting activities and there is also a community leisure centre. The Woolgate Centre and Marriotts Walk provide an excellent variety of shops including Debenhams, Marks & Spencer, a Multi-Screen Cinema and many restaurants and food outlets.
