A Brilliant First Step or Smart Investment in the Heart of Witney

Whether you're looking to get onto the property ladder or add a reliable income-generating asset to your portfolio, this well-presented one-bedroom home in Witney ticks all the right boxes. Currently achieving £1,000 per calendar month in rental income — representing a gross yield of approximately 5.5% — this property offers genuine appeal for buy-to-let investors, while its neutral, move-in-ready condition makes it equally compelling for first-time buyers.

Welcoming from the moment you arrive, the property sits behind a neat low brick wall with a paved path leading to the front door — the kind of kerb appeal that matters whether you're coming home or attracting quality tenants.

Step inside and you will find stylish and hard-wearing laminate flooring runs throughout the ground floor — a practical choice that looks great and wears even better, ideal for busy occupants or rental wear and tear alike.

The real heart of the home is the generous open-plan living space, which flows seamlessly from lounge through to the kitchen. There's comfortably enough room for a corner sofa and TV furniture alongside a dedicated dining area — exactly the kind of flexible, sociable layout today's buyers and renters expect. Natural light floods the space, making it feel larger than the numbers might suggest. The contemporary kitchen is arranged in a practical horseshoe configuration to the rear of the property, offering pleasant garden views while you cook. There's space for a freestanding cooker and under counter fridge freezer, with an integrated sink and extractor, and room for a combination washer/dryer — everything a modern occupant needs without compromise.

Upstairs, the bedroom is a genuine standout — a properly generous double that will comfortably accommodate a king-sized bed, a large wardrobe and additional furniture without feeling cramped. A large Velux window fills the room with natural light, and there's loft access plus useful storage above the stairs, so storage is never an afterthought.

The shower room is smartly finished, with a large shower tray and glass screen, pedestal basin and WC, all benefiting from the natural light let in by the opaque window.

Outside, the rear garden is a lovely surprise — mature and mainly laid to lawn with shrub borders, a patio area immediately off the back of the house, and an outside tap and side access. There is also off-street parking for one vehicle.

For investors: This property is currently tenanted and generating £1,000 PCM, with strong local rental demand underpinned by Witney's excellent transport links to Oxford and thriving town centre. A low-maintenance proposition with solid fundamentals. For first-time buyers: Move straight in and enjoy a home that's been well looked after — stylish, practical, and ready for you to make your own.

SITUATION:

Witney was recently described in the national press as a "beautiful 'must-visit' Cotswolds market town". It is positioned about 10 miles to the West of the dreaming spires of Oxford on the banks of the River Windrush. 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.
