Brize Norton Road, Minster Lovell, Witney, Oxfordshire, OX29

This individual detached home is in immaculate order and is set in beautifully mature and secure gardens with plenty of parking. Substantial (840 sq. ft) outbuilding with additional forecourt parking

THE PROPERTY:

An immaculate double fronted mid-century family house, with a substantial workshop, and plenty of parking, offered to the market for the first time in over four decades.

Off the central hall is a cloakroom, and is flanked by reception rooms to either side. The light double-aspect living room has a gas coal-effect fire set within a polished stone hearth and mantel, with wide patio doors that connects to the beautiful garden. A separate dining room provides the kind of dedicated entertaining space increasingly rare in contemporary houses, with a door to the extended kitchen at the heart of the home. Here crisp cream gloss cabinetry pairs with expansive contrasting work surfaces, and the high specification runs to a dishwasher, twin ovens, microwave, ceramic hob and washing machine, with generous provision for an American-style fridge freezer.

Upstairs, four bedrooms — one currently configured as a home office — are served by a family bathroom, and a notably wide landing presents a credible case for a loft conversion, subject to the usual consents, with room sufficient to accommodate a second staircase flight without compromise.

Outside, the garden has been shaped over many years into something of real distinction: a brick-edged serpentine terrace fringes a shaped lawn enclosed by well-established borders and effective screening that ensures a genuine sense of privacy and seclusion. To the front there is generous parking and a drive to an attached single domestic garage.

Of particular note is a substantial 840 sq. ft outbuilding — fitted with light, power and an inspection pit — held on a separate freehold title (ON211359) and included within the sale of the main title (ON254157), offering considerable scope for the classic car enthusiast, tradesperson or those requiring serious ancillary workspace

SITUATION:

Minster Lovell is one of Oxfordshire's most enchanting villages, set along the River Windrush some 2½ miles west of Witney. Its three distinct parts — Old Minster, Little Minster and New Minster — offer a rare blend of history and community. Old Minster is home to the parish church, the Old Swan Inn, Minster Mill Hotel and the romantic 15th-century ruins of Minster Lovell Hall. New Minster provides day-to-day amenities including a Post Office, convenience store and a Church of England primary school.

The village is further distinguished by its remarkable Charterville bungalows, built in the 1840s as part of the Chartist land reform movement. Witney offers extensive retail and leisure facilities. Mainline services to London Paddington (from approximately 62 minutes) run from Long Hanborough, around 8 miles distant. Oxford Parkway, approximately 14 miles away, provides Chiltern Railways services to Marylebone from 55 minutes.
