5 bedroom detached house

On the market for the first time in over 25 years, this exceptional detached home offers light, generously proportioned accommodation that is well connected to its beautiful private gardens and pastoral outlook across the Windrush valley.

THE PROPERTY:

Set within mature, lovingly tended wrap-around gardens, this fine detached house commands far-reaching views from its elevated position. The property leaves a lasting impression of quality, generous scale and symbiotic connection with its superb grounds.

Originally the personal residence of a director from the reputable builders Empire Homes, this distinguished property is now available for only the second time since its construction in 1993—representing a rare opportunity not to be missed!

The generous arched entrance hall leads to an elegant double-aspect living room featuring a poilished stone fireplace with gas coal-effect fire. Deep decorative cornicing and a dado rail add refinment. Beyond lies an inviting garden room with vaulted ceiling and heating—the ideal space to enjoy the gardens regardless of the British weather. The impressive 25' dining kitchen connects seamlessly to the outdoor space and features premium hardwood cabinetry complemented by stone worksurfaces, repeated in useful dresser units within the dining area. Quality integrated appliances include a five-ring gas hob with extraction hood, dishwasher, oven, microwave, refrigerator and separate freezer. The adjacent utility room provides convenient internal access to the double garage.

The upper floor accommodation features a split-level master suite with en-suite facilities and a wall of deep fitted wardrobes. Three additional generous double bedrooms—all with fitted storage—complete the sleeping quarters, with two enjoying picturesque pastoral views and one benefitting from en-suite facilities. The fifth bedroom currently serves as a home study. A family bathroom completes the accommodation.

The gardens are a particular delight, offering several interconnecting spaces adorned with specimen trees, a creeper-clad pergola and terrace perfect for outdoor entertaining. The entire garden enjoys an elevated position affording a level of privacy rarely found in modern homes. The property further benefits from off-road parking for two vehicles and ownership of the cul-de-sac's turning area. There is also a useful potting shed.

SITUATION:

Witney is a thriving market town on the edge of the Cotswolds about 10 miles to the West of the dreaming spires of Oxford. Its location on the banks of the River Windrush led to the manufacture of high quality blankets known the world over until the last mill was closed in 2002.
The town offers several thriving sports clubs catering for rugby, cricket and basketball players. 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.
Witney is well placed for the A40 linking the dreaming spires of Oxford to the attractions of Cheltenham Spa and is served by a modern bus fleet featuring wi-fi. within six miles is Hanborough main line station. Journey time to Paddington approximately 78 minutes.

We are required by law to conduct anti-money laundering checks on all those selling or buying a property.

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.
