THE PROPERTY:
The lasting impression of this fine home is of quality craftsmanship and materials. Its traditional design that incorporates features such as a bay window, high ceilings and attractive vernacular style give the feeling of a period home.
Yet the convenience of a sizable breakfast kitchen that opens directly to the garden and complements the formal dining room mark it as modern. Also suited to 21st century living is a substantial office for those who ever work from home, an abundance of beautifully appointed shower and bathrooms as well as astonishingly efficient levels of thermal insulation that return an impressive 'B' EPC rating!
Being the former show home, it occupies the best plot with beautiful wraparound gardens and plenty of parking to the front of the detached double garage.
The communal lawns, trees, hedges, streetlights and flower meadow diagonally opposite are maintained with the cost divided between the owners with an annual Estate Charge to each house of £435.79 per annum, recently paid by the sellers.
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 £60 (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.
West Oxfordshire District Council (Tax Band F)
SITUATION:
Ducklington lies approximately one mile south of Witney and is grouped around a green with a pond and has a population of around 1,600 served by St Bartholomew Church. Although the origin of the name is unclear, the village is one of the earliest Saxon settlements in Oxfordshire. Nowadays, it is notable for the rare Fritillary flower that was largely lost in the intensive drive of food production during the Second World War. In addition to its Morris dancing side, the village plays host to Witney Chess Club, and also has a Sports and Social Club with several cricket and football teams. The village's four star hotel provides private leisure club facilities for members that include a pool, spa and treatments whilst the brasserie and bar are open to all.
The original school building was opened in 1858 and is a fine example of Victorian Gothic. The last Ofsted report (2023) noted that the Church of England primary school "continues to be good" and is supported by wrap around childcare. The active community has a Facebook page where the latest news will be found. The A40 to the north of the village connects to Oxford and Cheltenham. More extensive shopping and recreational amenities are available in the adjacent market town of Witney, where there is also a hospital, cinema and several other higher order services.
Oxford is also easily accessed via the A40 and at Hanborough station (c.8 miles) there are regular trains into London Paddington (journey time 69 minutes) and to the dreaming spires of Oxford (10 minutes).
Alternative, services to London Marylebone are available from Oxford Parkway (c.14 miles, journey time 75 minutes).
