Beech Road, Witney, Oxfordshire, OX28

A well-proportioned detached bungalow set on a 0.14 acre plot in a quiet residential area with substantial double garage with workshop and an unusually private, gated garden.

THE PROPERTY:

Occupying a plot of approximately 0.14 acres in a settled residential street, this three-bedroom detached bungalow offers a breadth of single-storey accommodation that is genuinely rare so close to the town centre.
The layout is well considered: an entrance hall leads to a sitting room with separate dining area beyond and built beneath a hipped tiled roof in keeping with the main structure. The kitchen has a rear lobby - ideal for coats and muddy paws.

Three bedrooms are served by a family bathroom. The home is double glazed throughout and heated by gas central heating.

What distinguishes this property from its contemporaries is the gardens, to both front and rear that offer privacy rarely encountered in a town setting. Paved terraced areas and two ponds create a sense of contemplative seclusion, whilst gated access to the rear gives that additional security which families and those with dogs will appreciate. The detached double garage with a workshop area and additional driveway parking is a welcome find. There is also a substantial outbuilding and greenhouse.

Carefully maintained, the property would benefit from a programme of updating throughout making it ready for the new owners to spend several happy decades just as the present owner has!

SITUATION:

Witney is the largest of the market towns in the Oxfordshire Cotswolds, positioned on the River Windrush some twelve miles west of Oxford and eight miles east of Burford along the A40. Much of the architecture reflects the past prosperity of the woollen trade, including the 17th-century Buttercross and the church of St Mary the Virgin with its 150ft spire.

Witney provides excellent amenities centred around its historic High Street and Market Square, with a mix of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and high street brands, alongside leisure facilities at the Windrush Leisure Centre and a cinema — together with strong secondary schooling, including the well-regarded Henry Box School, this gives the town a self-sufficiency that many larger settlements fail to achieve.

Beech Road is a settled, well-regarded address on the western side of the town, with convenient access to the A40 and the arterial routes that make this part of Oxfordshire such a considered base. For those wishing to use public transport, buses from Oxford and Cheltenham run regularly to Witney. The nearest railway station is at Long Hanborough, five miles from Witney, with trains running to London Paddington.

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.
