House For Rent £975
Accommodation A light, fresh 2 bedroom property tucked away on a cul-de-sac in a well established part of Witney town. The property has been recently refurbished by the owners to an excellent standard, including an upgraded bathroom. The private rear garden and proximity to the playing field means there is plenty of outside space to take advantage of. Access to the A40 for Oxford or Cheltenham is easily available, along with a mainline rail service to Oxford and London Paddington from Long Hanborough about 5.5 miles away, with journey times of 9 and 70 minutes respectively.
Situation Witney is the largest Oxfordshire Cotswolds town with a long history (appearing as 'Witenie' in the Domesday Book 1086 entry) and is now a bustling town supporting two colourful markets a week. 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 local football club was known as "The blanketmen"). 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 has three secondary schools with Henry Box tracing its roots back to 1660 and the respected independent Cokethorpe School is nearby. The recently refurbished Abingdon and Witney College offers a range of tertiary courses for school leavers and adults.
