An exceptional and immaculate town house in prestigious gated development convenient both for pastoral walks and the town centre. Offered for sale for the first time since new.

THE PROPERTY:

This superb contemporary townhouse has had its roomy accommodation thoughtfully remodelled, dramatically improved and modernised in the time the present owners have lived in it since new.

The accommodation is arranged over three floors with a striking oriel window allowing natural light to flood the central stairwell.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of sleek floor and wall cabinets with expansive stone work surfaces and upstands. Contrasting bow fronted pan drawers and a tamboured cabinet add interest. Included in the sale are the AEG double ovens (one with microwave), Neff five ring hob and hood above as well as the concealed dishwasher and 'fridge/freezer. The owners intend to take the wine 'fridge. There is provision for an automatic washing machine in the cloakroom that also has a useful water softener.

There is beautiful stone tiled floor throughout the ground floor accommodation and a wide gap links the kitchen to a bright dining room with French windows onto a surprisingly private terrace. The sunny southerly aspect and adjacent mill race allow one to think of the appeal of Venice - if just for a moment! The hall gives access to a garage with an electrically operated door and stairs with beautifully turned hardwood spindles rise to the upper floors.

The first floor living room has a pleasing asymmetric shape with a gas coal effect fire set into a stone surround at one end. To the other a French window leads out onto a balcony. The corniced ceiling and hardwood floor (also found in all the bedrooms) exude a sense of quality and style.
The guest suite on this floor has a smaller balcony to the front and access to a Jack and Jill shower room that may also be approached off the wide landing. The smallest bedroom is used as an office. The desk and bookcasing will be included in the sale.

The top floor comprises a master suite with shower room and dressing area to one side of the bedroom. In addition to two further double bedrooms there is a recently fitted family bathroom with modern white sanitary ware complemented by chrome fittings including an independent shower above the bath and monochrome tiled surrounds.

To the front of the property is a paviour forecourt providing parking with a planted border with specimen tree to one side.

Agents Notes: A contribution to the maintenance of the impressive electric gates and communal areas of garden on the development is made on 1 January and 1 July. These are estimated to be £300 half yearly for 2023. It is the owners’ intention to include all curtains, blinds and fittings in the sale. In common with much of Witney, this house was affected by the freak flood of 2007. Since then, there have been significant improvements to the town's flood defences and this property has additionally been fitted with effective flood gates.

SITUATION

Set in a prestigious gated development within the Witney and Cogges Conservation Area. This property is within what used to be Early's Mill- producing world famous blankets and is close to attractive pastoral walks along the banks of the River Windrush in one direction and the shops and cinema in Marriott’s Walk in the other.

Witney itself is a thriving market town on the edge of the Cotswolds about 10 miles to the West of the dreaming spires of Oxford. Much of the town's fine architecture reflects the wealth of the woollen trade in its heyday. The rich variety of shops, street cafes, and excellent sporting facilities coupled with higher order services that include a hospital greatly add to the quality of life. A mainline rail service to Oxford and London Paddington is available from Long Hanborough about 7 miles away with journey times of 9 and 70 minutes respectively.
