House For Sale £675,000
Freeland lies about five miles north-east of Witney. Dationg back nearly 1.000 years it is a convenient location for thiose wanting village life but combined with easy access for work in Witney, Oxford or London. There is a well regarded primary school, a wonderful Gothic revival church, as well as a public house - the Oxfordshire Yeoman. There is also a well-equipped modern village hall that provides for a wide range of activities. A bus service operates to Oxford, Woodstock and the local market town of Witney, and the railway station in the neighbouring village of Long Hanborough provides a direct service to London.
The Walled Gardens is one of just a small handful of premium quality houses built five years ago by Visions, a local Oxfordshire building firm well known for going that extra mile in quality. This shows throughout the house, with a thoughtful and well executed design that provides stylish and spacious accommodation for a modern family. The little touches that make all the difference range from an unusually comprehensive range of white goods in the kitchen, to the thick timber doors, and underfloor heating throughout the downstairs. And the view to the front across fields is truly delightful. As it stands the house provides generous space, however planning permission previously granted (now lapsed) gave authority to convert the loft and provide a significant amount of extra space. We see no reason why this could not be granted again, but please ask and we will refer you to someone who can assist in investigations. This house really is all you could ever need for a growing family.
Entering the hallway sets the tone. Immaculate polished cream tiling underfoot accentuates the light, increasing the feeling of space, and contrasts impeccably with the colour and patina of the timber doors and stair rails. This flooring continues through the downstairs. Double doors to the right open into a wonderful family living space. Windows to three sides continue the theme of great light and positivity, with double doors at the rear opening to the terrace and garden. The central feature is the attractive fireplace, complete with polished stone details. On the opposite side of the hall, the dining room is well proportioned and double aspect, providing a great space for any family occasion, and connected to it is the kitchen. This is a fine example of clever design and execution. Every convenience is provided for, with a bank of several ovens, microwave and a wine chiller set at eye level in a long run of units to one wall, and a generous run of work surfaces over a number of cupboards that stretch round two further walls. And to top it off, the island in the centre doubles as yet more storage with a breakfast bar that can easily seat four. This kitchen really does do it all! Off to the side, the double garage is as immaculate as the rest of the house, with a wide tiled floor and a pair of roller blind electric garage doors in addition to a further run of units to one wall providing a sink, plumbing for a washing machine and yet more storage. Completing the downstairs is a cloak room, just off
the central hallway..
Upstairs, a wide landing is lit by windows at either end. To the right two good sized bedrooms are both ample doubles, and adjacent to both is a stunning family bathroom with a great contemporary finish that includes a shower over the bath. On the left the hallway turns down a corridor leading first to the master suite. This is a lovely room, well proportioned for a generous suite, and the en-suite is - unusually - large enough that, like the main family bathroom, it hosts a bath. The same level of finish is applied, attesting to the same attention to detail as found everywhere else. There are two further bedrooms, the smaller of which is even still an ample double that would see any teenagers through to adulthood. The last room here is the space above the garage. Built into the eaves its a long, interesting room which lends itself perfectly to being the den, the place for children to hide away with games consoles, drum kits (being over the garage, no harm done!), hifis etc with friends. It's an all-important departure away from most more run-of-the-mill properties. And in addition, there has previously been planning in place to provide still more rooms in the ample loft. We see no reason why this could not be granted again.
Outside, the space is so well executed. The driveway provides excellent parking for several premium vehicles, with the garage of course offering more. The plot becomes lawn to the front of the house, which carries on behind the immaculate hedge past the front door to a gate that enters the garden. A wall encloses much of the garden, with hedge filling the gaps, providing a secluded and very private space with predominantly lawn wrapping round the rear of the house. To the front a number of trees and shrubs break up the outline of the original wall that surrounded the front of the development when it was part of the farm. It's a perfect entertaining space, as well as an ideal and secure area for children to play.
