SITUATION:

The property is in a quiet side street close to Witney town centre and within 7 miles of a mainline rail service to Oxford and London Paddington from Long Hanborough (with journey times of 9 and 70 minutes respectively) and conveniently placed for commuting to Oxford along the A40.

Witney has been described in the national press as a "beautiful 'must-visit' Cotswolds market town". About 10 miles to the West of the dreaming spires of Oxford, its location on the banks of the River Windrush led to the manufacture of high quality blankets known the world over until the last mill was closed in 2002. Some manufacturing remains and the town is home to Christy & Co - hat makers since 1773 to people such as the Royal family and Don Corleone in the Godfather films! Much of the town's fine architecture reflects the wealth of the woollen trade in its heyday. The rich variety of shops, good schools, street cafes, and excellent sporting facilities coupled with higher order services that include a hospital greatly add to the quality of life.

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.
