Buttercross Lane, Witney, Oxfordshire, OX28

Parkers are delighted to present this rare opportunity to acquire a generously proportioned, ground floor two bedroom retirement apartment with its own terrace, within the highly regarded Fernleigh development on Buttercross Lane, Witney. Built in 2015 and managed by GreenSquareAccord, Fernleigh is an extra care retirement complex offering a luxurious and fulfilling lifestyle with the added benefit of an on-site management and care team.

About the Apartment

Situated on the ground floor — a particularly sought-after position within the development — this well-presented apartment benefits from direct access to the communal courtyard and private garden terrace, offering a wonderful connection to the outdoors without the need to use lifts or stairs.

The apartment is entered via an entrance hallway leading to a spacious and light-filled sitting room, which opens directly through French doors onto the private terrace, where residents enjoy a pleasant outlook over the communal gardens and green surroundings. The room is of excellent proportions, ideal for entertaining or simply relaxing.

The fitted kitchen features a comprehensive range of gloss white wall and base units with warm wood-effect worktops, complemented by grey metro tile splashbacks. Integrated appliances include an electric oven with hob, microwave and fridge freezer, and there is space for a dishwasher making this a practical and well-appointed space.

The principal bedroom is a generous double, comfortably accommodating a king-size bed alongside a range of freestanding furniture, with pleasant garden views to the front. A second well-sized double bedroom provides flexibility for guests or use as a study or hobby room.
The fully accessible wet room is thoughtfully designed to a high standard, featuring a level-access shower, pedestal basin, WC and grab rails — ideal for those who value ease of use and safety.

About the Development

The ground floor of Fernleigh is home to a range of spacious residents' facilities, some of which — including the restaurant — are open to the public. The development benefits from a 24/7 on-site care team, residents' lounge, large mobility scooter store, hairdresser, and a low-cost restaurant, creating a thriving and sociable community. The popular restaurant also delivers meals to flats on request. The communal lounge, as seen in the photographs, is a beautifully appointed space with feature walls, a piano, and generous seating — a natural hub for residents to socialise. The development also benefits from a dedicated buggy and mobility scooter store with charging points, a communal laundry room, and residents' parking.

Fernleigh is conveniently located within a pleasant walk of the town centre and is adjacent to The Leys recreation ground.

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.
