New Yatt Road, North Leigh, Witney, Oxfordshire, OX29

An individual village bungalow set in an elevated 0.19 acre plot with commanding views over rolling countryside and offered with early vacant possession.

THE PROPERTY:

Nestled behind a traditional timber five-bar gate and mature hedging, this remarkable property occupies a plot approaching a fifth of an acre near the edge of a favoured village with far-reaching views across rolling Cotswold countryside.

The thoughtfully designed accommodation centres around a dining kitchen, flanked by two separate halls offering exceptional flexibility. One hall, complete with cloakroom, leads to a substantial principal reception room—formerly a double garage—creating impressive entertaining space. The second hall provides access to up to four bedrooms, one currently utilised as a study and another as a secondary reception room with patio doors opening onto the property's crowning glory: expansive split-level terraces that overlook the rear gardens.

These elevated terraces provide the perfect vantage point to appreciate both the beautifully maintained gardens and the breathtaking pastoral views beyond. The mature gardens, lovingly tended over the years, gently slope away from the property and are thoughtfully divided into distinct areas by neat clipped hedging. An inviting timber summer house offers a tranquil retreat for morning coffee or evening relaxation, and a substantial outhouse provides excellent storage.

The property benefits from double glazing and gas central heating, ensuring year-round comfort. The potential for loft conversion, subject to planning permission, offers exciting possibilities for future expansion and potential to savour even better views!

Generous gravelled parking to the front ensures practical everyday living, whilst the secluded position behind mature hedging guarantees privacy and tranquillity.

The current owners are purchasing a vacant property and are therefore able to offer early vacant possession, presenting an excellent opportunity for immediate occupation.

This is a truly special property that combines comfortable family living with spectacular countryside views—a rare find in today's market that deserves immediate inspection.

SITUATION:

Nestled amidst the picturesque Oxfordshire countryside, the charming village of North Leigh, affectionately known as "Nor Lye" by locals, offers a delightful blend of history, community spirit, and modern convenience. Located just three miles from the bustling market town of Witney, North Leigh is a quintessential English village with roots tracing back to the post-medieval period. It boasts a vibrant community life centred around its amenities, including two welcoming pubs—one of which is renowned for its authentic Mexican cuisine—along with a quaint village shop, post office, and library. The village's excellent primary school, rated "good" by Ofsted in March 2023, and local cricket and football teams make it an ideal location for families seeking a supportive and engaging environment. The recently opened Estelle Manor, formerly Eynsham Hall, offers luxurious leisure experiences.

The village's strategic location provides excellent travel links, with regular bus services to Oxford and Witney, and exceptional train connections from Long Hanborough and Oxford Parkway stations. Commuters will find it particularly appealing, with direct trains from Hanborough whisking passengers to London Paddington in approximately 69 minutes and the dreaming spires of Oxford in just 10 minutes. Additionally, the M40 motorway, located approximately 14 miles away, offers convenient road access to London and beyond, with Heathrow Airport's Terminal 5 is about 53 miles from your doorstep.


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.
