SITUATION

Carterton, West Oxfordshire’s second-largest town, has a rich history dating back to the late 19th century when it was founded by William Carter and became renowned for market gardening. The area’s aviation heritage began in the 1930s with the establishment of an airfield, and RAF Brize Norton has been a significant presence since 1965.

In recent years, the town centre has undergone extensive high-quality development, now offering a diverse range of amenities. Residents benefit from several large supermarkets, independent retailers, hairdressers, and a variety of cafés and restaurants. Cultural and leisure facilities include a modern lending library, a well-equipped leisure centre with a swimming pool and gym, and numerous sports clubs. For families, Carterton is home to five primary schools, while outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy nearby country and adventure parks. The town also boasts a large medical centre, complete with a dental practice and dispensing pharmacy.

Transport links are excellent, with a modern bus service providing connectivity across the region. Mainline rail services to Oxford and London Paddington are available from Hanborough (14.5 miles) and Charlbury (13 miles), while Oxford Parkway (approximately 17 miles) offers an alternative fast service to London Marylebone.

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.
