Chestnut Close, Witney, Oxfordshire, OX28

An exceptionally well appointed and modernised link detached house in desirable leafy road with open outlook. EV Charging & Immaculate.

THE PROPERTY:

A thoughtfully evolved family home that rewards closer inspection at every turn, having been comprehensively updated by its current owners to a standard that exudes quality and effortless style.

At the heart of the ground floor, a new kitchen has been fitted to an exemplary standard, its peninsula unit offering generous storage that works in harmony with the understairs pantry. A herringbone floor draws the kitchen naturally into the dining and living areas, lending the whole interior a cohesive warmth and creates the desirable 'broken plan' free flowing layout suited to contemporary living.
Plantation shutters to the front elevation temper the natural light beautifully, adding a note of quiet elegance. The hall projects forward from the main body of the house — a practical arrangement that allows the reception area to span the full depth of the property, with distinct sitting and dining areas and, at its far end, French windows opening directly onto the rear garden.
Upstairs, two well-proportioned double bedrooms are joined by a generous single room — with commodious floor to ceiling wardrobes finished with striking mid-century style handles that offer the potential of a fine dressing room. The bathroom has been refitted with a shower over a deep bath. Replacement double glazing and a handsome new front door complete the picture of a home that combines best of the generous proportions of the period when it was built with modern taste.

To the front, an open area of garden is accompanied by a driveway to one side, which serves the single garage and benefits from an EV charging point — an increasingly important future-proofing consideration. A pedestrian door from the garage provides a convenient link to the rear.

The main garden is principally laid to lawn, framed in part by a brick wall that lends a sense of enclosure and privacy. The property enjoys open green aspects with mature trees to both front and rear, giving it a setting that feels pleasingly serene.

When we sold this enticing home to the current owners, they paid over the guide price to secure it. We confidently expect it to cause a stir in the market again this time!

SITUATION:

Witney has evolved considerably from its origins as a market and wool town into one of west Oxfordshire's most self-sufficient and genuinely enjoyable places to live. Day-to-day shopping is exceptionally well served, with a range of independent retailers complementing the familiar names — including a Waitrose — that make the weekly shop a straightforward affair. The Market Square remains at the social heart of the town, hosting a traditional market on Thursdays and Saturdays and a farmers' market on the fourth Friday of each month.
For those who like to eat and drink well, Witney offers considerable choice across some forty venues, from relaxed neighbourhood cafés to more considered dining. A welcome recent addition to this quarter of town is The Edge Deli, which has taken up residence in the former council offices on New Yatt Road — bringing an excellent independent café and deli practically to the doorstep.

The town's leisure provision is equally comprehensive. The Windrush Leisure Centre houses a swimming pool, squash courts, a gym, and a sports hall, while The Leys provides cricket and football pitches, a bowling green, tennis courts, and a children's playground. For families, the educational offer is strong at every level, with Madley Brook Community Primary School and Wood Green School — one of the town's two comprehensive secondaries both within a mile. Those seeking independent provision will find The King's School, a non-selective co-educational school for ages three to sixteen, also on New Yatt Road.
For commuters, Hanborough station lies approximately six miles away — with direct services to London Paddington running roughly hourly, the fastest completing the journey in just over an hour. Oxford is equally accessible by road or via the regular Stagecoach bus service from Market Square, and the A40 connects swiftly both to the Cotswolds and to the Oxford ring road beyond.

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.
