Cotswold Close, Minster Lovell, Witney, Oxfordshire, OX29

Set in a tranquil yet central location, this detached family home has a conservatory overlooking a private west facing garden and an open fireplace.

THE PROPERTY:

This attractive detached house, constructed from reconstituted stone with distinctive red brick detailing, has been the current owners' home for over 20 years. They continue to enjoy the peace and security provided by its quiet, virtually traffic-free cul-de-sac location.

The property features efficient electric heating, with mains gas available on the road should the new owners wish to convert. A key highlight of the living area is the charming fireplace, ideal for cosy winter evenings. During the warmer months, the bright, double-glazed conservatory offers a lovely space, opening directly onto the private rear garden. With its westerly aspect, the garden benefits from afternoon and evening sunshine. It can also be accessed from the study, which was originally part of the garage. This versatile space, accessed from the dining area, serves as an ideal home office. The remaining section of the garage has been converted into a dry storeroom, complete with light, power, loft storage, and cleverly designed asymmetric doors for easy access.

While the kitchen is fully functional, it offers excellent potential for modernisation or extension, particularly into the adjoining dining area, providing an opportunity for the new owners to customise the space to suit their needs.

Upstairs, the property includes three bedrooms – two generously sized doubles and a well-proportioned single – all served by a family bathroom. Positioned at the end of a quiet spur off the cul-de-sac, the house features an open-plan front garden and a driveway with parking for one vehicle, along with an additional parking space at right angles to the house, offering ample off-road parking.

This property is ideal for those seeking a comfortable family home in a friendly neighbourhood, with plenty of potential for personalisation. Homes like this, cherished for over 20 years, are special – don’t miss your chance to make it yours!

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 £60 (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.

SITUATION:

Minster Lovell is a village and civil parish situated on the River Windrush in Oxfordshire, approximately 2 ½ miles west of Witney. Reputedly the region’s most haunted village, Minster Lovell is perhaps best known for the ruins of its 15th century hall and is divided into three distinct parts: Old Minster, Little Minster and New Minster.
Old Minster includes the parish church, the Old Swan Inn public house and Minster Mill Hotel and picturesque ruins of Minster Lovell Hall. Built in the 1430s and after several changes of hands the Hall was abandoned and partially demolished in the 18th century, leaving the extensive remains that stand today in a beautiful rural setting beside the River Windrush.

New Minster benefits from the White Hart public house and a small selection of local shops including Post Office and Convenience Store. The Church of England primary school was rated 'Good' by Ofsted in November 2023.

The village is known for several distinctive 'Charterville’ bungalows built by a progressive 19th century movement that campaigned for electoral reform and created settlements with enough land to support a family.

Further amenities including an extensive selection of high street shops, cinema, cosmopolitan restaurants and tertiary education are available in nearby Witney. Jeremy Clarkson's new pub, 'The Farmers Dog' is within two miles.

A mainline rail service to Oxford and London Paddington is available from Long Hanborough about 9 miles away with journey times of 9 and 70 minutes respectively. An alternative service to Marylebone (journey time 58 minutes) is available from Oxford Parkway c.15 miles.
