Queen Street, Eynsham, Witney, Oxfordshire, OX29

A remarkable double fronted period cottage within the village's Conservation Area with the rare distinction of having a garage annex , and a cellar. Private garden with westerly aspect! .EPC

THE PROPERTY:

This fine family home has a period core with later extensions that create a home well suited for modern living with a self-contained ground floor annexe.

A pair of characterful reception rooms flank the main entrance with the living room featuring an open fire with gas log burner, heavily beamed ceiling and traditional plate rack. There is also a cellar that runs beneath the dining room.

The kitchen has a mellow exposed stone wall as with country style wood fronted kitchen cabinets with expansive roll top work surfaces and is large enough for informal dining.
An adjacent inner lobby links the main house to the annexe and garden.

On the first floor the main bedroom has fitted furniture and ensuite shower room that is flooded by natural light through a Velux window. It is appointed with a white suite with striking azure splash backs. The two remaining double bedrooms on this floor also benefit from fitted furniture and share a family bathroom and separate night cloakroom.

Stairs rise to the upper floor to open into a charming attic room with beams and a dormer window to the front that could be used as a study or occasional bedroom. At the far end a door is inset to an old wall with exposed timbers leading to the fourth bedroom that also has exposed beams and a dormer window with pleasing village outlook.
The Annexe:

A light double bedroom benefits from a roof light and picture window overlooking the garden as well as smart wet room adjacent.
The living room has French windows to the garden with a pair of roof lights in the vaulted ceiling above a faux fire surround with neo classical mantle and tiled hearth beneath an electric 'wood burner'. This is flanked by a pair of scalloped niches.

Beyond is a modern kitchen/breakfast room.
The garden has a lovely, cloistered feel and is centrally laid to lawn fringed on one side by a creeper clad pergola. There is also a timber summerhouse and paved terrace. The garden enjoys a remarkable sense of privacy and tranquillity. Gated pedestrian access to the side leads to the street.
At the front of the house is a small area enclosed by Cotswold stone walling with a drive leading to the single integral garage.

Lastly, there is a large cellar beneath the property which would make a superb wine cellar with conversion potential.

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.
