This spacious first-floor apartment, on the market for the first time since new, enjoys a south-facing position with views over beautifully maintained communal gardens.

A Juliet balcony overlooks the grounds and creates a light interior that feels refreshingly connected to the outdoors.

Outside, the property benefits from allocated parking in a gated area, along with convenient guest parking spaces.

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.

SITUATION:

The village of Ducklington lies approximately one mile south of Witney and its grouped around a green with a pond and has a population of around 1,600 served by St Bartholomew Church. Although the origin of the name is unclear, the village is one of the earliest Saxon settlements in Oxfordshire. Nowadays, it is notable for the rare Fritillary flower that was largely lost in the intensive drive of food production during the Second World War. In addition to its Morris dancing side, the village plays host to Witney Chess Club, and also has a Sports and Social Club with several cricket and football teams.

The original school building was opened in 1858 and is a fine example of Victorian Gothic. The last Ofsted report (2023) noted that the Church of England primary school "continues to be good" and is supported by wrap around childcare. The active community has a Facebook page where the latest news will be found. The A40 to the north of the village connects to Oxford and Cheltenham. More extensive shopping and recreational amenities are available in the adjacent market town of Witney, where there is also a hospital, cinema and several other higher order services.
